It's About Dang Time

So as most of you all know when it comes to my immune system/health it has not been the best the last couple of years. About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with POS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome,which is fancy for being I have multiple cysts on my ovaries. This was a big shock to me as prior to that I was quite a normal human being (besides being overweight) but health wise I was okay besides a scratch here, broken thumb there. Lol. So this was a very large stumbling block to conquer. Had to change my diet and start on daily meds to help was quite overwhelming in the beginning but now I'm ok. After doing research I discovered this is actually one of the number one diseases among women and 75% of the time it goes undiagnosed. I believe all women should get tested for it cause it can cause and solve a lot of female issues if diagnosed properly or undiagnosed. Okay, okay I'll get off my soap box now.

Two years ago I was hospitalized for tonsillitis in the ICU for 2 weeks getting out only 2 days before my older sisters wedding....phew that was close!!

Over the past several months I have had multiple incidents where I had to go into the ER only for me to get mixed results. I always went in for the same basic complaint, not being able to breathe well, but each time other complaints piled up with it. For instance fever coming and going, running nose, diahrrea, chronic cough and the list goes on. Each time Dr.s ran test and all the tests showed nothing so they always sent me home with different excuses. I was having a panic attack, I have anxiety, I'm imagining things, I just have the flu etc. and each time I had to go back to ER my symptoms were worse and stronger I'd have to call out of work for a day or go in and just not be on my A game which is bad for business. Than I'd be okay for a week or for a few weeks and than the systems came back. Ugh. Soooo frustrating!!

On Wednesday I called 911 to my apt cause I couldn't breathe or practically move had no energy my heart rate why all over the place chest was tightening up and I was freaking out. Mostly cause I couldn't breathe. I would have asked for a ride but no one was around. When the paramedics got there they put oxygen on me and my heart rate and blood pressure was through the rough. I was admitted into Olympia medical center and FINALLY have answers!! I have chronic bronchitis. So I'm on strict orders every four hours to do a breathing treatment so it will help open up my lungs and allow me to breathe and does help otherwise If I don't do it I go into a crazy coughing fit.

I wanna thank everyone who has driven me to or home from the ER at some point, listened to me whine about how I hate hospitals, read my distressing Facebook statuses, prayed for me and just been for me at all over the past few months. I'm just so glad we finally have answers!!!!

Woo-Hoo!!
