Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2005Hi guys. Just checking in.
Thought I would let you all know I just got out of the hospital this evening. Been there since midday sunday. Presented with a temp of 103 and flank pain. They hospitalized me with fever of unknown origin. Turns out that, I had what my doctor called "a rip roaring UTI" But now they know what was going on I could be treated just as easily at home. My fever isnt entirely gone but I am much better. The bad news is no Humira until I get a clean bill of health. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green holy cow, sweetness! what a bummer for you. (((((((((char)))))))) how long do they figure it will be before you get a clean bill of health? lighting up your candle again. healing thoughts heading your way. kate > Thought I would let you all know I just got out of the hospital this > evening.

Bonnie ((((((((Char))))))))))) may the UTI be gone quickly and get you back on the Humira!  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Oh yeah. And now I am Diabetic from the steroids. 05 isnt starting out nearly as well as I had hoped. It looks as though health issues are going to be haunting me this year too. But Humira is a miracle for me, and I should be back on that in about 10days. And that is a positive, so it isnt all bad news. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Char, it isn't fair that someone who loves to cook is diabetic. But you will know how to cook right, so that's a plus. Hope the UTI is over quickly; they are certainly no fun to have. Gwen > Oh yeah. And now I am Diabetic from the steroids. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Hi Char,,, Did they tell you if you are type one or two??? Do you know how high your glucose reading was? You know I am in the same boat with this. Harv > Oh yeah.

Red Green >Hi Char,,, Did they tell you if you are type one or two??? Do you know >how high your glucose reading was? You know I am in the same boat with >this. >Harv Hi Harv-The only thing she said was that I was diabetic now but it could wait until I was over this infection, to address the issue. If you are interested, I will keep you up to date on anything I find out. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green (((((char))))))) i hope the meds can knock the uti out pronto. diane Char, we are all interested. Gwen > >Hi Char,,, Did they tell you if you are type one or two???

Red Green >Char, we are all interested. >Gwen Thank you Gwen. That was really sweet to say. I will keep all informed. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Maybe it is of the temporary type -- Humira working then lower the pred, then maybe with luck, no more diabetic readings. When I am on a high range of pred I always spill sugar [60mg-40mg of the stuff, I run 135 -- 10mg and under I am back to 85]. Duckie >>Hi Char,,, Did they tell you if you are type one or two???

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Me too guys Its not easy to turn down all those carbs but after a while you adjust to it, Char being the cook that you are. you will have to post us some good recipes. Take care. Have they put you on medication. how high was your bg? everytime I take prednisone my goes up higher. I love to eat all those good things but there are so many things that high bg can do to other parts of your body If I can help you anyway, let me know janice | Hi Char,,, Did they tell you if you are type one or two???

Red Green >If I can help you anyway, let me know >janice Thanks Janice-I really appreciate the offer. Dont know what my bg was, but my doctor while I was in the hospital indicated it didnt need immediate attention. I am having a heck of time getting my mind wrapped around the fact that I am now Diabetic. I really hate that. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green > >If I can help you anyway, let me know > >janice [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Char, My dad is diabetic, and all he does is take glucophage (sp?). He just keeps an eye on the *amount* of sugar he ingests, but he still drinks regular soda, eats chocolate (some every day). Has stopped drinking, but that's a good thing for him. Takes his blood sugar every day, and he's fine. Once in a while he feels light headed, but generally peanuts take care of it (low blood sugar, somehow). May yours be even *less* of a strain than his is. Smokie Darling (Annie) >May >yours be even *less* of a strain than his is. Thanks Annie. From your mouth to Gods ear. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green > >If I can help you anyway, let me know >>janice [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > now Diabetic. I really hate that. > Char Sure hope that controlling the diabetes is easy once you get your mind wrapped around the idea. My brother-in-law said getting the diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to him. He had to change what he ate and when he ate, to a degree. But it made a world of difference in how he felt. Jo > I am having a heck of time getting my mind wrapped around the fact that I > am > now Diabetic. I really hate that. > Char I did too. One thing though, if you have had steroids lately it will push your glucose count wayyyy up. Even prednisone much less a shot will do it for me. Maybe your count will come back down without them for awhile. :?? Tests will tell. Harv > Maybe your count will come back down without them for awhile. :?? Thanks Harv. The highest my pred has ever been is 20mg. But I am tapering in an attempt to get off of it entirely. I am down to 10mg at the moment (just dropped to that). Hopefully over the course of the next couple of months, I can get off of it entirely. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Char - Did the diabetes start up the same time as the UTI? The physical stress of an illness and abx can raise your blood sugar you know. I have steroid induce diabetes but my endocrinologist says the bs is being effected by the steroids and if I'm careful with it now, it should go back to normal when I get off of them. On a recent course of abx, my bs went up to 286! But now that I'm off that particular abx, its come back down. I take the steroids first thing in the morning and my sugar runs high thru early afternoon and then drops down. He's giving me a drug called Starlix at breakfast and lunch. What they got you doing girl? {{{{{CHAR}}}}} DianeW > What they got >you doing girl? Nothing yet. I need to go see my pcp next week. This being off my Humira is the pits. Everything hurts again. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Hope that is cleared up as quickly as it came. Few more days til I am back on Arava myself so I understand you wanting your DMARD back. Especially since you were getting so much relief from it. Time to be sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Stick around lady -- we miss you. Duckie > Thought I would let you all know I just got out of the hospital this evening. > Been there since midday sunday.

Red Green glad to hear youre home and somewhat better do take care so you will be 100% real soon. janice | Thought I would let you all know I just got out of the hospital this evening. | Been there since midday sunday. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] | | "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green ((((((((Char))))))))))) Get that cleared up ASAP!! Hope you're back on the Humira soon! Carol Char, I hope our Mama is doing better by now. I should have called you over the weekend to check in with you. I hope things are going much better with you. I feel for you. I have had problems with my kidneys too and one time it looks like a kidney infection and then the labs say no and the next time it doesn't look like one and it is. So I know what you are going thru with it. I am sorry yours got so bad. Hope you are healed from it by now. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.
