I have a Dr apt today to get some relief with my back,I hope?I did something to it Friday late afternoon and we had to leave early Saturday am to go see Tammy!YAYYYY.Nothing was going to stop me from seeing her as I haven't seen her for over a month and yesterday was her 20th b-day.I made the miserable 3+hr drive in the back seat of Steve's Subaru Forester which I loooovve when I am in front seat,but we took Paw Paw with us because we knew he wanted to see her.We got to visit with her/eat lunch/go for brief walk at South Point,then we switched to her car(a 4 door Kia Rio but I did claim front seat for that one).She drove us over to the Caswell Campground(NC Baptist Center)where she has been all summer working with young day campers.I was already sweating bullets and my back was killing me,but we went in her classroom and then she gave us a driving tour of the grounds.BEAUTIFUL! I wasn't feeling well(nausea and seeing spots-which I often do before migraine)and I just wanted to get cars switched and go home.Last thing I remember is starting to get out of Tammy's car.Yup,fainted out cold and ate pavement with my face!Profuse bleeding,now completely soaking in sweat and my hubby(paramedic) couldn't really get me to clear head up(I thought I was taking a nap!)plus I could see nothing but spots and sparkles.So I bought myself a trip to the ER,stitched lip,face all bruised and scraped Plus my back still giving me a fit.Ended up having to stay almost 24 hr because they couldn't get my blood pressure up (I have high Bp and take two meds so 70/30 is definitely a problem.Finally got home Sunday around 7pm.

Wow! That's so scary! No more episodes since then? Glad you're ok!

Wow, that sucks, Mercy! I have back issues, so I feel your pain (literally) and they aren't fun.

Hope you feel better soon and that your BP goes back to normal. Relax for a little and let us know what the Doc says (funny I had a back doc appt this morning too!).

You poor thing! I can feel your pain, and I'm way over here! I hope your feeling better now, and heal fast! No more kissing the pavement ok?? I'll message you later on here! Sending you hugs!

:bangheadidn't really get any answers from Dr today.Just wants to repeat all of my bloodwork again(liver enzymes out the roof on ER visit).Won't do any meds for my back pain,face/finger pain yet until results are back.That really sucks cause my back has been killing me since Friday!Now my finger is in on the list(thought it was simple abrasion at hospital,but realized yesterday it is more tissue/deeper than thought) swollen tight,bruised and throbbing.She did give me a script for antibiotics but does not want me to take them unless finger gets definitely infected.At least I haven't tasted anymore pavement today!

:wacko:

Hope you feel better soon, i hate back ache and pavement dont taste nice !! I also hope the doctors can srt it for you.

Are you feeling better? I hope so. Try loading up on various pillows to help with pain while trying to sleep. Maybe one under the knees, a body pillow, one to elevate the arm where your finger is injured, etc.

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions folks!Returned to Dr yesterday and lver enzymes are dropping,but still won't prescribe any pain meds(majority have tylenol in them). I have to go back again next week.No chiropractor either(I asked) since I have some bone density problems.:banghead:
