I've been in the ER room six hours transported by ambulance from my doctors office where I had a fainting episode while they were drawing blood on Monday morn., after tormenting weekend sweats.
Sunday went to Hosp. Intending to go ER. Felt a bit better so went home & immediately felt bad again. Wonder if AC unit is poisoning me?
I haven't been able to eat anything of consequence for 4-5 days now, feeling my stomach is tight and in knots. I went to Dr's ASAP after feeling weak and sweating for a few JJ sleepless nights up to & including the weekend.
Couldn't wait to see the doctor Monday morning. When they were drawing blood, I almost passed out. Several aides held me up while others splashed water on my head and another used paper to fan me. I might've been out for 20 secs.
Before I knew it the paramedics were there. There was no place in the emergency room to put me except in the hall where I've been for the last six hours waiting for the results of the tests which all came back negative. And yet, I still feel like something is wrong systematically. I had the same problem/experience in Hawaii where they found nothing wrong with me and yet I wound up back in the ER there as well the next day via Ambulance for cellulitis resulting from bug bite.

In NJ ER HALLWAY
This is like the seventh or eighth episode this year of sweating profusely for about five days before it tapers off and I get back to feeling more or less normal with an appetite.
Meanwhile I'm living out of a suitcase at my mother's HUD apartment in New Jersey and all of my life's trappings are in storage on Maui.
Cold wet cloth on head & neck my saving grace to help me get at least a little (very restless) sleep at moms.
I wonder if AC is TENAFLY HSE installed or Privately placed? Needs a cleaning. I called ofc months ago to ask 4 handyman - Susan Brown says not their responsibility? WTF!?
I've been in this ER hallway all day with nurses and doctors scurrying about. nobody really advancing any diagnosis... they can't find anything wrong with me; yet I haven't been able to eat with my stomach in knots and feeling very weak during my sweating episodes. My fingers numb and tingling and that doesn't seem to matter to anyone
Have another dr appt today @4
Have Heart dr appt aug 7 w Earlbacher
Yesterday appetite came back a bit. Had fruitcup for breakfast (all I could do to go to stop n shop to buy) late afternoon was able to go get a burger at B.King - helped release stomach knots), but today Still weak with little appetite...thankfully sweating stopped. Episodes last 5-7 days and taper off??
Today I Came to ENGLEWOOD hospital Cafeteria again for breakfast of a couple eggs - slowly getting strength back. But haven't pooped in a week- prolly cause nothing in-nothing out? I was hoping yesterday's burger would kick-start my BM response. Nada.
while in ER Monday, I recognized moms doc, dr Laosa flying by - said hi from gurney - no recognition or time to investigate/talk. I See her partner and moms dr Manny katz Aug 30 - maybe HE CAN get to the bottom of my sweats & challenges?
