Giving yourself the shits

[Mom]

Thankfuly not literally in this case, but certainly pause for thought.

Allergic reactions really suck the big red kumera :yes: Infact I told the nurse at the A&E Shore Care this morning that I thought I looked like Mr Tomato Head. She said I was not quite that bad, but I think she was just being kind as Maha told me I resembled a Simpsons character, and I have it on good authority from someone that I saw AFTER all the cool shit drugs I have been given, I look like a red spotty zebra :pinch: You wonder about your friends sometimes eh?

Anyway folks, just a community notice from Mom, do not ever leave any weird sensations that involve your face/lips/eyes/lips/gums/throat for very long at all. Infact, do not collect $200 (unless you need it to pay for the friggen treatment :pinch:) and proceed to your neaest dispenser of IV drugs. Do not ever ignore the onset of spots, even tiny little ones for a few days if you have jsut started new drugs. Do not let the doctor you see on Saturday as you are now really getting spotty and itchy, fob you off with a small once a day anti histamine with instructions to come back in 10 days.

I dont really look like a spotty, red Zebra, but I can see how the two could be confused if you need corrective lenses.

Be aware, dont ignore allergic symptoms ever!

EDIT: I will live, but not sure if I will ever take another prescribed drug without finding out what exactly I am allergic to.

[scissorhands]

Hope your okay now!

Supposedly the third leading cause of death in NZ is 'medical misadventure' ..... I always go herbal remedies nowadays

You know I asked the question today about claiming this treatment under ACC. Drug reaction causes serious illness. Was told I cant claim as the drug I took has a potentail to create this reaction. EXcellent!

[Mudfart]

rule of thumb, dont ever get sick. no professional cares about you, its never personal, there are a million more like you lining up to pay their mortgage outside......
Go to gp, ask for an allergy test, they will prick your arm with approx 7 common allergy reactants.

[Edbear]

Yup! I discovered I was allergic to sulpher-based anti-biotics when my boss' wife had to rush me in with heart-attack symptoms...

[Mom]

Grass, pollen, dustmite etc allergens are not what I am talking about here. I am talking adverse reaction to prescribed medicines. Do not ever be complacent around them, they have the potential to kill if you develop anaphylaxis. I was lucky this time, I could still breathe.

Sulpha based drugs are seriously bad for me too!

One of the two reasons I wound up in a wheelchair was the effects of Dihydracodeine, or DHC. Combined with Cushing's Syndrome produced symptoms mimicing MS and although I was examined exhaustively by four different neurologists I remained a medical mystery until I determined by my own research that the drugs were a major contributor to my illness. It still took them 10 years before a very astute specialist diagnosed Cushings, and he is my hero!

My wife, working as a teacher with young children is trained in first aid and the center is very well informed and very strict on managing the allergies in children. My Grandson could die if he eats a peanut and has nearby at all times an emergency kit which includes an injection to be administered if he reacts badly.

[MadDuck]

I have it on good authority from someone that I saw AFTER all the cool shit drugs I have been given, I look like a red spotty zebra :pinch: You wonder about your friends sometimes eh?

I say get new friends......zebras have stripes dont they?

[Mom]

I say get new friends......zebras have stripes dont they?

Yeah, but interestingly enough some of the welts have joined together tonight, and could be mistaken for stripes :yes:

Top up of antihistamine taken, I have to be excused now, I think I may start... might have to go and put my head down...

Glad your Okay mom. Anaphylatic shock is quite cool until you can't breathe. It different reading about things and actually experiencing it,ha,ha. I know been there and done that. Lets just say I don't eat certain things anymore.

[SMOKEU]

Lucky for me I'm not allergic to anything. Except when I eat cooked meat I start spewing up. But not from raw meat.

[Bikemad]

dont do medicinal drugs....................purely recreational

get well soon mom

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Laava again.

Cheeky prick!

Fixed it for you.

Whateva!

Well 2nd verse same as the first, I landed back at the docs for more drugs this morning, this time I got adrenaline to go with the other shit. If it flares again I have to 111 it for an ambo. Cool bananas. To give you an idea of this rash, it is on the palms of my hands, my back is simply a bright red raised welt of itchiness. Better friggen not come back!

[Laava]

Shit hon that is a bit rough! Sounds like shingles?

[Mom]

Shit hon that is a bit rough! Sounds like shingles?

No not shingles, this is a total body thing. Wish me luck for tonight, I have been told today if it flares again I have to ring 111 as the doctors can not do anything else for me, I need hospital treatment. Mind you the new ongoing drug regime appears to be working so far, I am off to the scratcher :pinch: Except I dare not scratch :D

Numb lips combined with a fat tongue that prevents you from talking properly gives you the total shits I can assure you of that, no herotics from this gal tonight, 111 will be my first port of call.

Added insurance, I have a bag packed, so should be sweet as for a good nights sleep.

[Insanity_rules]

Oh Mom, thats not flash darlin, hope you don't have to carry out that plan of ringing 111. Alergies suck the big one.

[Laava]

Numb lips combined with a fat tongue that prevents you from talking properly.

Sorry as I feel for you, I can't help stifling a little chuckle as well! Bad huh? But hope things improve for you quick smart!

Good to hear you are feeling much better. There's still a few days to decide eh?

The Ambulance was called and has taken Anne to North Shore Hospital, not life threatening but not good.
I have a few things to do here first and will go down in about Hour/Half.

Keep us posted Mark.

Crikes! I hope they get on top of it!

[yungatart]

Geez Maha...
You know where we are...yell if you need anything, we will do what we can from many miles away.
Big hugs to both of you.

[Nasty]

Mom is on her way home .. I am sure she will be online shortly.

[MadDuck]

.. I am sure she will be online shortly.

...with pictures?

[Maha]

Yes she is home, they have increased the drug intake and added a new one. Unfortunately I went to the hospital on the bike but fortunately MadDuck turned up in her Car so very generously offered to bring Anne home, thank you MadDuck very much. The Doctors 'off work cert' has been increased also. We are both looking forward to a decent nights sleep tonight.

[Mom]

Too knackered for pics tonight, but I will actually post a couple to show a bit of what this is like. I believe MadDuck reckons it looks like someone poured boiling water all over me :yes:

I learned something really good about high blood pressure today too. It actually saves your bacon when you get a belt of anaphylaxis, what would be really serious drop from normal blood pressue, is only a slight drop in high blood pressure. Having said that, I went down as status 2, ended up with the lights on. They arranged to meet one of the oscar paramedics at Oteha Valley Rd onramp. I got the cute Nick ;) take me from there to North SHore, jsut avoided being given adrenaline in the ambo by the skin of my teeth.

I am absolute knackered. I have jsut taken my top up antihistamine. I am determined to get some sleep tonight and I WILL NOT replase tomorrow.

Big thanks to all the mediacl professionals that have taken care of me today. Honestly I could not have had better nor more prompt care. Thanks also to every one that has sent their best wishes, said prayers and sent positive energy my way, it is appreciated. Nght, night all. Hug the ones you love tonight, for they are all special people.

[Ratti]

Mom and Maha, I know you are taking care of yourselves so I wont say 'take care'

Heart goes out to ya's, wish you a good nights sleep and a better day to come

hugs for ya both.

[Fatt Max]

Jezuz h Christ guys,

Just picked up on this one,

Look after yourselves there guys. Like everyone else, If I can do anything to help, anything, please let me know. Sorry I am so late hooking onto this.

Big fat hugs, kisses and pie crumbs to you. You have my number ane email, use it if you need to.

Nope they where of a female member.

You must mean this Pasty Ginga?

Notice how the mouth area looks like an arsehole, must attract alot of cock!

Now all I have to do is wait for the ''image to be removed'' because he'll moan to mods. Again!

[Maha]

Anne is back in Hospital, I will be on my way down there shortly, at a slower speed than yesterday....:shifty:

The infection seems to have spread to her mouth/throat area.

[MSTRS]

Damn! This is getting scary....

[GOONR]

Shit mate, not good.

[Stirts]

Not great news to hear at all, but she is in good hands and a fiesty little thing.

I reckon there's a hot male nurse there, who's not a queer...

[Ratti]

Im new to this site so am still ignorant of a number of things. One of them being knowledge of what the heck BRU is? I see it pop up here and there, but not a clue what it might be. Would someone help out a poor old widder woman and enlighten me?

[MSTRS]

There are a number of groups with seperate forums to be found under 'groups' in the Community pull-down menu. Some of these groups are invite-only. One of those is Bitches'R Us. Bitches'R Us is populated by a number of KB's girl-members, and no doubt they use it to talk through issues that are intensely private, but needing of listening ears that can provide support without judgement. Some members feel threatened by what they perceive to be a part of KB they are excluded from, and make up all sorts of weird and strange tales of the supposed goings-on inside that particular private forum.

BTW - I wonder what goes on in Blast From The Past? That's an invite-only forum too...perhaps they are plotting to replace all the modern bikes with ancient, oil-hemorrhaging excuses for motorcycles?? Who'd know - until it's too late - unless they were a member of that group?
And what about the Swingers? I'm almost certain it's not the sidecar boys in there...

[yungatart]

Nope they where of a female member.

Don't be ridiculous! Females don't have members...

Mark, give her our love, have some for yourself too. It is a worrying time for you both, but she is in the best place and will no doubt be fine very soon!
Fingers crossed!

Its had been talked about for some time (this BRU thing) one or two members go on and on about it, so a group was set called BRU.
There was no social group by that name , now there is, anyone can join, even dorkus himself, theres a thread all about him in there.
He need not be so paranoid any longer.

[Maha]

We have been down this track Logan, a couple of weeks ago, your neighbour was too chicken shit to answer any questions I directed at him.
Nice to see hes got you on the case now though, does he pay you in milliliters?

Keep it up if you want, I will get the thread cleaned out.
Or.... I still have the original quotes if you want me to revisit the situation?

[GOONR]

Back on topic, how's Mom?

[Maha]

They are keeping Anne in this time, seems its an Auto Immune thing, they will get a Dermtologist to view her tonight or in the morning and assess things from there. She is on full time fluids (of sorts, antihistamine?) by way of IV and has had Calamine Lotion plasted all over her body, but is in the right place.

Excuse the spelling. At least I splet IV right...:shifty:

[MSTRS]

Thanks Mark. We are thinking of Anne and hoping that her problem(s) will be resolved real soon. We know that you are the one that really needs looking after...

[Maha]

The current lure has blown in the vein and have tried to fit another several times.....not a happy lady to be honest, they now are waiting on a doctor to turn up and fit one.
I had the same thing happen to me years ago, three attempts in each arm, then along came someone who knew what they were doing and found the right spot first up.
Anne was due for a change at 1am anyway. Doesn't help matters but, what can you do?

Edit: It took another fives goes to get anothe line in, she has had enough for the day.

[MadDuck]

Blimmin heck I am not surpirsed she has had enough. My thoughts are with you both.

PS: Will pop in tomorrow

Been through getting lines in when my hubby was doing chemo. The competent ones make it look so easy, but then there is the other sort...

It is so hard to watch yourbest friend being hurt, my thoughts are with you both.

[caseye]

Tell Anne to expect some ribbing when we see her mate. Northshore I preeume?
An take time out yourself mate, these thingss have a way of tiring out the hardest of us.

[Maha]

Tell me about it, we (mostly Anne) has been out walking most nights for the past three months, she finds it hard going walking 5-6 mts now let alone 5-6 kms.
Doctors have said for her not to panick or worry, they have made a solution for her skin.
Her face looks a whole lot better, her legs feel like pins and needles all over, she is eating (which was a difficulty yesterday) hospital food.

Thank you to all those who have text and called both Anne and myself, really mean alot to us both.
She is in the Short Stay Ward on the ground floor of North Shore Hospital, may get shifted to a ward tomorrow.

I'm sorry Mom, I'd take it back if it helped, but it won't so Tough! LOL. Just get the hell 0uta that place and get aboard the blue lovely and get down south for a visit asap.That'll sort ya out.
Take care Anne.
Caseye aka rhino to to me Yank mates, if it makes ya feel any better.

The Doctor was around this morning and is happy it cant spread any further and has probably done it worse. Anne will be there till at least Tuesday where they will review it then and maybe let her home.
She had a good nights sleep, the first for about a week.
Probably be sent to a ward today.

Worst part is the unknown with hostipals,hopefully you're(both)on the side of the known road to a speedy recovery.

Its got to be a trying time for yourself, having to put on a brave face, can really take it out of a person
just as much as those who are ill need support, those who stand by them need just as much.
Knowing even on KB there are those (yes there are still some here who like you, I think) who will support you in one form or another, as Annies support come's from you being by her side.

Sorry i would have miss this thead, if not for a PM late last night from ....? thank you, as I don,t venture out of the offroad thread much.

Yeah thats him. I got waved over by a Cop, I said ''whats up mate'' reply '' just get off the road if you dont want your tyres spiked''.

The car came back towards us from Waiwera end, saw the spikes/cop and did a U Turn, he must have gone up one of those driveways just North of Hatfields on the right.....Doh!

[Maha]

Managed to Wheel Anne outside today, just for ten minutes, needed to see what the real looks like, there are no windows where she is, not a one.
So outside we go, fresh air and I wheeled her over to see a sculpture thing. Got the wheelchair up the larger than normal curb ok, but it wasn't going to wheel off it the same, part of the wheelchair wouldn't allow this to happen (hard to explain) so I had to ask Anne to get out up and step down onto the road, then park back in the chair.

[Nasty]

Fresh air is good and better when its from outside!

This pic was taken on Wednesday, imagine this all over your body, even on your face!
It itches and at times feels like pins pricking your skin, it has a burning sensation also.
These spots were at there worst yesterday, they looked a whole lot better today.

They have been applying a Menthol formula which, feels really nice going on but soon makes you shiver as the Menthol takes effect. The lure is coming out today, they are now treating it from the outside in.

[Edbear]

Owww!!!! Mucho baddo!!!!

yungatart, I hope you have a better end to Easter than the start.Sucks having to help those that won't/don't help themselves, but I'm betting he was glad of your knowledge and caring.
Hows Annie Op's ??? did I just say that out loud? te he he today Maha.
Max is riding today, I hope he finds his way over there for that song, most likely do you both some good.
Kind thoughts and best wishes Anne.

[Maha]

Doing really good now from all accounts, energy level is way down still. Bruising has surfaced.
Got the Wheelchair out again today, Anne wanted to go outside again. It was fine misty rain so I wheeled her out in it for a while, nice to feel the rain on your face.
Looks like Easter bunny has been also, so helped her with that.
Walked in with a real coffee I got from Milford, oh and a Chocolate Brownie.

EDIT: More drama today on the way home, two cars over the bank on the southern side of the Waiwera passing lane.

Thoughts to you both. I am just so sorry I am not up there to visit and help out.

Looking forward to hearing updates of Anne back home and well.

Yep, at that speed, me and half the country's highway patrol would be turning up I am sure!

And it's good bye pork pie!!!

[Edbear]

Called in to visit Anne this arvo. She's almost looking human again and much perkier. Poor thing, been pretty traumatic for her and Mark!

Still a bit fragile, obviously and worried about what medication to try next. She may be out tomorrow when she promises to come on KB and do some stirring! Good sign, that! I reckon not to worry too much about an early release, though, unless the immunologist can sort the meds out fairly quickly. After this experience I'd be taking my time and making sure first, which is something she's thinking, too.

Was great to see her so much better though! Sorry we missed you, Mark.

[caseye]

Hey good news at last! Cheers for going and cheering her up, You did cheer her up aye, the visit isnt the reason why shes coming on KB to stirr people up is it??? huh , huh.LOL Maha will be right pleased you dropped in.

[Maha]

Good onya Ed, Anne txt to say you had poppped in...
I took down smoko and wheeled her outside for about half an hour to sit in the Sun.....
Smoko was a flask of boiling water/two cups/ coffee/sugar and milk. Made Anne a real coffee.

LOL!!! I think we cheered her up... Mind you, I think it was after I mentioned you that she said she was coming back to stir... :shutup:

Yeah, she was very appreciative of the chance to have a real coffee rather than the muddy water they serve there. :yes: Maybe that was what perked her up by the time we arrived. (Thought it was seeing me that caused the gleam in her eye... :shifty:)

[Maha]

Anne had a good nights sleep.
Where she is, there is now windows or natural light, its an internal ward.
So thats been pretty tough on its own.
Just waiting for the doctors to do thier rounds and give a pass out of there. Fingers crossed anyway!
The rash is now nothing like it was, but the Doc's have the last word eh?

That's 2 better nights in a row! Excellent! I'm sure she'll feel much better today! If you're not getting out until after 5 you could call in on your way through, though she will probably be impatient to get back home.

Im going to get down there soon Ed, they have her discharge papers filled out, but dosen't want to leave without a script for some Blood Pressure pills.
They have had her off all BP meds for a day or two now.
They have also shifted her down the hall a bit into another room, the hospital is filling up fast today Anne reckons.

Yeah, I think that's what she's a bit nervous about. What meds they will try her on. Hope they find something she can tolerate well.

Exactly! She will not want to go through that all over again.....

[Mom]

I am home. Thank you to all of you for your good wishes, calls, visits, texts etc. It has been an interesting experience for sure and one I am in no hurry to repeat. I have gained 7 kilos of fluid I am so swollen, and now my body resembles a bruised spotty swollen thing :D Absolutely knackered. The docotor assures me that all will resolve over the coming weeks and return to normal. They have stopped all steriods now (far out I have been pumped up on them big time for the past week) basically they believe that it has turned the corner now and should continue to abate. If not I can always redsort to 111 again :pinch: I have been signed off work for the next week to allow more healing time, hopefully that will be all it takes. I am currently covered underACC so that is good news. Mind you 80% of 5/8s of SFA is not a lot, but certainly better than a kick in the pants.

New BP pills have been taken, fingers crossed eh. Seems the thinking is it was not so much the one pill that caused the problem but the combination of the one I was already on and the new one, talk about special :yes: I have to get a medic alert bracelet too.

[MSTRS]

...talk about special...
You are...
Welcome home, and please don't scare us again.
:love:

[Stirts]

So glad to hear you are now home Anne, makes the road to recovery that little bit betterer!

[yungatart]

I bet that feels good!
Rest heaps and look after yourself. :hug:

[Fatt Max]

Great to see you are at home and thanks for the chat earlier. Even in your fragile state you can still give a fat pommie bastard shit.....good onya girl.

I shall be providing you guys with shade just as soon as you are up for a Fatt visit.

Take care you guys

[caseye]

LOL, wow! she's special? we didn't already know that aye you lot?
Glad you are home now Anne, hope the time out and being at home will do the rest.
Take care mate and see you just as soon as you are ready, no pushing it OK.
Get some sleep Mark, now that you can.

Thank God.

Really pleased to hear that you are on the mend (albeit slowly). I hope you manage to get plenty of rest - 7 kilos is a hell of a lot of fluid! (Don't fall over or anything silly like that - mmmkay??)

It is a very strange feeling for sure. Time is my friend, better drop a bit before I go back to work, dont fit any clothes at the moment :gob:

My legs are so heavy!

Good news to here you're back home, been keeping an eye on the thread. Hopefully that'll be the end of it and everything will return to normal in due time. All the best from myself and all these other cretins down this-a-way...

Thanks, it feels good to be home. There is something very surreal about being in that kind of hospital environment. May it be a long time between this experience and the next, preferably a lifetime :yes:

Was lovely to have you visit. It went a bit crazy there after you left. The hospital got well over full, I ended up being shunted down the corridor and into a kind of outpatients room. Felt really sorry for the staff.

Now for the continued unremarkable recovery :yes:
