Mom in hospital with viral meningitis

[Maha]

Anne has had the worst headache in years which started on Friday. Today we went to Red Beach Medical centre and they sent us down to North Shore Hospital for a head scan
CT was done as were blood samples, came back all clear. They wanted to a Lumbar Puncture, there was no way I was sticking around while they did that but it had to be done just to rule out everything that they suspected.
The spinal fluid showed she has Viral Meningitis, not the kind that will kill you, but a stay in hospital to sort it all out. They are keeping her till the headache goes.

I have just got home after leaving this morning just after 10am, long long day for us both, I best get some sleep as I have work tomorrow.
Already got a text as to what to bring on my next visit...I might need the van! :eek:

[Gremlin]

Send my regards. Hope it's a smooth and quick fix!

[EJK]

Best wishes for quick recovery.

[awa355]

I hope she comes right as soon as. . Same thing down here with a local chap, went to the doc with a migraine, sent home, a day later in hospital Meningitis.

[Paul in NZ]

Shit - sorry to hear that... Hope she is getting all the care n love she needs and will be better soon.

[xXGIBBOXx]

Best wishs for a speedy recovery

[Kendog]

All the best, hope she is feeling better soon.

[Kiwi Graham]

Take care Anne, hurry and get home so you can get Mark to do all the running around for you ;)

[unstuck]

Get well soon Mom.:love:

[Grizzo]

Damn that's no good. Get well soon Mom!

[Laava]

Rotten thing to happen but the outcome sounds great!
Old flatmate of mine had something similar but was fatal within 24hrs.

[p.dath]

Ouchy! Just the spinal tap is bad enough. Hope she gets well soon.

[nerrrd]

Really sorry to hear that, get well soon!

Sounds like you've done all the right things, meningitis is not something to be taken lightly, if in doubt get checked out as soon as you can (has affected my family too).

[bosslady]

Best wishes and get well soon Anne.

[nallac]

Ah shit, get well soon Anne xxxxxxxxx

[Grashopper]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon Anne.

[Edbear]

I'm heading in to North Shore this morning, I'll pop in.

I heard her screaming from at least 30 meters down the corridor, yeah not a nice thing to happen, My eldest daughter had one done when she less than a month old, even the nurses hate being in the room when its done.

Anyway, I am off now to pick her up...

[imdying]

Well, that's definitely shit house :(

:killingme


Happy monday mate lol

PS: Thankfully no Moms where harmed due to this sloth like responce

[Mom]

Well this is fun. NOT!

I am home armed with morphine, tramadol, panadol and brufen, still have a back ground headache, and can barely walk thanks to the doctor who found the nerve root (I love that word) that has left me in agony in my lower back, around into my pelvis and down the tops of my thighs. I screamed alright, I never had that much intense pain, that just went on and on, and because the needles were deep in my spine and had to be sheathed before being removed, it took ages for the doctor was able to take them out.

Far canal, I am not making any sense here, too much shit in my system I guess.

Treatment for this is rest, lots of fluids, and as much pain relief as I need to keep the headache at bay.

ED at North Shore Hospital is fantastic, the ADU on the other had is appalling.

Thanks for the well wishes. I am looking forward to feeling much better really soon I can assure you.

I can now prove I have a brain, I have pics to prove it, though the doc was reluctant to comment on how it functions.

Off for a nana nap, I am utterly knackered.

[dogsnbikes]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Mom.....Baz & Mel

[Drew]

my partner was on the same drug list recently & swears by Tramadol :yes::wacko: the naps she can relate to also, rest up Anne November is still a long way off....I've had that list for medical, and recreational reasons.

I'd take the morphine over tramadol every time!

[scumdog]

Well done lass - glad you came out of it OK.


(Well. I THINK you're OK, Maha, I need help here...)

[Katiepie]

Thinking of you Anne. All the best for a speedy bounce back! You have not had a good run this past year or so - bet you are well over it all. Good thing you have your lovely husband to play nurse ;) - Just remember FM is available for bookings.

I had to hold one of my kids still for a lumbar puncture test when he was about 2 it was not a pleasant experience??

Hope your on the up and up now :)

[Owl]

Sucks to be you Mom, but get well soon eh!:msn-wink:

On the bright side, Mark doesn't have viral meningitis which was what I heard on FB.

[Hobbyhorse]

Sorry to hear about the health Anne ... hope you beat it quickly.

Cheers,

Rhys

[bluninja]

Wow! glad you're home and recuperating. Looking forward to seeing you 100% and riding in November.

[Mom]

Observations from day 5 with the dreaded lurgy.

1) The neighbours poxy, yappy dogs that annoy the hell out of you when they bark outside, all night long, REALLY piss you off after a massive continuous headache for 4 days and a night with no sleep in hospital. The council will be visiting her today :yes: Mind you, I don't feel bad about that, I rang her last Wednesday after 2 nights of disturbed sleep thanks to her barking dogs, she said she had not heard them, nor her phone ringing at 3:30 am when I rang her about the dogs earlier. Seemed as she didn't hear them, it was all good. I told her I would just ring the council each and everytime I got woken by them in future. So, 2 phone calls last night, I reckon I fell into a coma after 1am LOL. These dogs are a known barking nuisance, the entire neighbourhood detest them and the owner does not care apparently. I am fairly certain she was told the council would take steps to remove the dogs if they received any further complaints, I am not the only one complaining :sunny:

2) Even though you are exhausted, and fully loaded with Tramadol and morphine, you still hurt, just now in other places, as well as your head :violin:

3) My boss (incredibly demanding normally) is very supportive and does not want me back at work until I am fully well, "take as much time as you need to recover", I am his PA and there is very little cover available for me :love:

4) My GP, who I cant ever get so see, rang me and wants to see me :blink:

5) Typing while under the influence of drugs creates some wonderful new words. Editing the words makes my head hurt, so I am off to have a little lie down :baby:

[swbarnett]

Bugger! Hope all goes well.

Send Anne best wishes for a speedy recovery from Irene and myself.

You noticed that too aye, I though it was just me.:doobey::doobey:

HEY - good to see you back out again ... Take a rest ... get well ...

Wow, I had viral meningitis twenty years ago, and it was not pleasant.

[Mom]

My neighbour is obviously taking the piss now, 2 more complaints lodged for her barking dogs.

Codeine is the shizz :Punk:

:Punk: is not something I can actually do, sudden movements of me head are very unpleasant.

Daytime TV has not improved since I broke my ankle a couple of years ago.

It is weird having a nana nap at 9am :facepalm:

Take it easy, eh? Codeine is very addictive so try to get off it as soon as poss. Tramadol, if you can tolerate it well, is good for long term pain management. Thinking of you! If your head is okay you can handle things better, but if your head hurts, it's no fun at all! :bye:

[Akzle]

codeine also causes constipation.

And given how full of shit you already are, it may cause you to explode...

I believe Waxzoff has been spending a bit of time at the Free Clinic, turns out that those small red marks on penis were caused by his Uncles new dentures.

I hear you about codeine, I just seem to sleep on it, cant see me getting addicted to sleeping somehow :lol:

Great day today, got up took pills, watched 1 Americas cup race, took pills, nana nap 9am to 11am.

Roused myself, had some food, took pills, Mark drove me to Hands On to get this wrist checked. Cast came off, tests were done, cast stays off :clap:

Got driven home, took pills, had a nana nap for an hour or so.

Roused myself...

Rest is apparently what I need most, so sleep during the day sorts that, now all I need is a full nights sleep, best part today...

No more cast on my arm! Not better yet but much improved, I have some exercises to strengthen my wrist - she explained them to Mark as I am not sure I totally compos mentis really :o

I am concentrating on that as an incentive to be well. I may nod off from time to time but I am certain all will be ok. Nothing different to normal really LOL

[Laava]

Some sort of chin prop and paint some blue eyes on your upper eyelids?

[wysper]

Hey Mom,

Bit late to this one, sorry to hear of your troubles. But glad to hear it is getting better... at least sounds like it is.

Naps rock!

So does morphine... but very addictive apparently.


all the best

[Katiepie]

Codeine is very addictive so try to get off it as soon as poss. Tramadol, if you can tolerate it well, is good for long term pain management:

That magic word... tramadol - don't know what I would do without it. Choice drug that one!

[unstuck]

A Roused myself,

No wonder your having a speedy recovery. :devil2::blip:

Couldn't wait to get off the Tramadol after my knees-fix

[Naki Rat]

Couldn't wait to get off the Tramadol after my knees-fix
I had a similar opinion of Oxycodone (another synthetic opiate as Tramadol is) when given it following knee joint surgery. I have no problem with morphine or codeine (both opiates), but the synthetic version made me feel like shit. Depressed, nightmares and overall just a real bad head space. Told them to stick the Oxycodone after a day's worth. Guess the makers missed a few things in the synthesisation!

[Mom]

Well that was interesting. Just come back from the doctors who thinks I have a viral encephalitis, not meningitis. Oh joy! Still all it really means is it has a longer recovery time. My poor little brain :baby:

Get to tell my boss I off for another week at this stage. Wont I be the popular one?

Might see if I can do some from home if the brain will think that is.

Fatigue is my number 1 problem at the moment, I hope a re-jig of my medications will improve that in the days to come, a balance between pain management and fatigue. How decadent to have 2 naps a day :D

They were going to send me home on oxycodone, tramadol and panadol, then changed it to tramadol, panadol and morphine. I am lucky I guess, tramadol is manageable as far as the side effects, I am not sure I would drive too far while taking it to be fair, tramadol and codeine = no driving at all.

When I ran out, it would be time to just manage the pain.

But my attitude to drugs, is somewhat less responsible than a lot of people I think.

Morphine didn't do jack-shit for me either - couldn't wait to get off it too.

(Mind you, seeing the wall-paper pattern shimmering looked cool...)

[Drew]

Morphine didn't do jack-shit for me either - couldn't wait to get off it too.

(Mind you, seeing the wall-paper pattern shimmering looked cool...)It's a quantity thing I think. The warm feeling ya get from medicinal amounts, pales compared to the bullet proof feeling of recreational rations.

I had a copious supply of Tramadol after my last off. Didn't think twice about driving 60km to work in Auckland traffic. But then I've never met a drug that gives me any side affects at all, morphine etc. included.

[blue rider]

Well that was interesting. Just come back from the doctors who thinks I have a viral encephalitis, not meningitis. Oh joy! Still all it really means is it has a longer recovery time. My poor little brain :baby:

mmmmkai....well ok...then...was wondering where you got that meningitis from..:bleh:

Get to tell my boss I off for another week at this stage. Wont I be the popular one?

yes you are popular :first:

Might see if I can do some from home if the brain will think that is.

no give that brain some rest and good drugs:doctor:

Fatigue is my number 1 problem at the moment, I hope a re-jig of my medications will improve that in the days to come, a balance between pain management and fatigue. How decadent to have 2 naps a day :D


take some rest, don't work, sleep, take all the drugs they give ya - remember they are legal so its all good.
take some rest....etc etc, rinse repeat.
don't think about work
just don't

tremadol gives me nausea....feels like I am sea sick with all the unpleasant side effects.
really only use them if i have too.

[PrincessBandit]

Hope you are starting to come right Anne and that Mark is looking after you like a queen.
Warm fuzzies being sent telepathically - hope the bad weather doesn't stop them getting through!

Tramadol, Codine, Diazepam, Digesic and one other I can't remember 3 x a day keeps reality away :niceone:

Hope you get well soon

[Mom]

Get up, wait for headache. Took Panadol. Lie down, (I didn't do that yesterday and paid for staying on my feet). Sat up, ate food, relaxed. Took Tramadol. Waited for headache to go...

Took Panadol (thought about codeine, but figured I would go slow). Went for walk in fresh air, felt better. Dare I say it, headache is getting better, now the balance between fatigue and headache begins...

Getting better :wings:

Thank fuck for that!

[Grashopper]

That's great to hear Anne :sunny:

Hope those bloody headaches are gone soon.

Keep up the pills and ointment ... glad to hear things are improving, albeit slowly.

Hmmmmmmm.

Did a test today, worked out really well.

Paying for it a bit at the moment, but hey, no pain, no gain...

I am carrying a bit of a wrist injury to compliment this pathetic virus that seems to want to scupper me.

I drove myself (Maha pillioned for safety) a bit further than work, and back again. Had to go get this wrist of mine seen to.

Apparently it is doing well.

I am aiming for a Monday come back!

[Drew]

I asked the Hand Doc today if the clutch action is therapeutic? ...affirmative! :2thumbsupThat surprises me. Those spring things that tennis players squeeze to work on forearm strength are really bad for your wrists I was told, as they compress the wrist joint. Clutch is a lot lighter than those springs though, so might not be the same.

First day back at work. Feeling remarkably good, but absolutely done for right now.

Anne has had the worst headache in years which started on Friday. Today we went to Red Beach Medical centre and they sent us down to North Shore Hospital for a head scan
CT was done as were blood samples, came back all clear. They wanted to a Lumbar Puncture, there was no way I was sticking around while they did that but it had to be done just to rule out everything that they suspected.
The spinal fluid showed she has Viral Meningitis, not the kind that will kill you, but a stay in hospital to sort it all out. They are keeping her till the headache goes.

I have just got home after leaving this morning just after 10am, long long day for us both, I best get some sleep as I have work tomorrow.
Already got a text as to what to bring on my next visit...I might need the van! :eek:Sheet only just seen this I hope you are all well and and healthy now Anne fook that Meningitis shit

Ah do you own any cats? cos cats are encephalitis carriersI thought the strain that cats carry, was only likely to harm pregnant women, and infants...

Is there something Anne and Mark aren't telling us?

[Deano]

I thought the strain that cats carry, was only likely to harm pregnant women, and infants...



Toxoplasmosis.

Toxoplasmosis.

Thank you sir. I get all those twelve syllable words mixed up.

[Scouse]

Toxoplasmosis.well I knew it was something desceisey.

[Mom]

Is there something Anne and Mark aren't telling us?

It's been a long time since that could have been a possibility in this household, and my kids wont do the decent thing and make me a Grandma so we have to make do with a little black cat. Fortunately she is not a carrier of toxin/toxit/whatsit thing your much smarter bro named :sunny:

Crying tired tonight, might take a sickie tomorrow...

[scissorhands]

Toxoplasmosis.

thats parasitic encephalitis,, but most docs are hard pressed to tell the diff from viral, aids patients and low immunity are at risk

its attacks anyone immune compromised and moms stress would contribute to recent issues

the body is great at telling us what we need to do, if we listen carefully

stress affects immunity, acids foods promote disease

Like it or not, it's going to take time to recover and your poor old, (Oops!:shutup:), body is going to be very weak for a while yet.
