So heres the scoop for those of you wondering
I have been having bleeding problems for a while now, 9 weeks to be exact. Woke up, did my thing at 3am this morning, went back to sleep. 6am rolls around and I wake up, and I'm laying in just sheets covered in blood. I kind of panicked becuase it looked like a massacre occured under my sheets. Called my sister who is a nurse, and she said shower and get to the ER immediantly. Showered, packed a bag in case they kept me over night, and went on my merry bloody way.
Walked into the ER, they saw me right away. The doctor, I know from when I worked over in the ICU. It was a bit uncomfortable explaining, hey I'm bleeding out through my crotch. But the reason I actually went into the Er was becuase the past day or two, I've been passing giant clots, and that shouldn't be happening. Nurse, who I also worked with before came in and started an IV. He laughed at me becuase of the fact I'm going to school to be a phlebotomist, yet I'm scared to death of needles. lol so IV is in, painful, and ran a bunch of IV fluids. They gave me a few different meds through my IV and I was in happy land. One of them was for pain obviously. lol
Got sent down for a few different ultra sounds, did a ton of blood work, that fun stuff. They said that my labs came back really well and the ultra sounds showed nothing. Thats all good and dandy but why the fuck won't i stop bleeding if everything shows up ok?? Sooooo...he gave me some meds to "stop the bleeding" yeah we will see. I've been on a ton of different things to stop the bleeding and none of it has worked.
I am not allowed back to work until its cleared with my doctor, who I see Tuesday. We will see what happens. My arm is bruised something fierce from the IV, and i'm tired as hell. Lately, I've been tired, weak, shakey, but hey, if the tests say I'm fine, then I must be fine right? Yeah, until I fall over and die from loss of blood. ugh I fuckin want this to be over all ready. I'm going ot be talking to my doctor about a hysterectomy. I think its time. 21 or not, I need to be healthy and safe.
Just a lot to digest right now I guess, and I needed to vent.
