In reply to is anybody else sick?, posted by Jai Narayan on December 21, 2003, at 18:47:12
When I returned home from Thanksgiving I was ill... I was sleeping easily 15 hours a day. Horrible! Then, it felt like I was peeing fire! Even worse! I went to the dr and they gave me a mono test (negative), flu test (negative) and strep test (negative) so they said "I guess you have bronchitis." What???? I had more than bronchitis. I could barely move! Stupid doctors. Then, they gave me a urine test. Came back negative for urinary tract infection, bladder infection and kidney infection. They gave me the *wonderful* "lady" test and that came back negative for everything under the sun. So, the doctor said "Well, our urine test isn't 100% accurate, so you could still have a urinay tract infection." So, I had 3 hours worth of tests which showed there was nothing wrong with me. They gave me antibiotics, to help clear EVERYTHING up. I'm no longer peeing fire, and I can move :) Yahoo! The wonders of modern medicine! They can't diagnose anything, but they can fix something that they have no clue what it is. Still, I was convinced I had cancer for 13 days :( The crazy thing is, every time I go to my mom's I get sick. And I'm going there for Christmas. BAH :( Looks like I'll be complaining again after the new year........
