Hey guys.. been a while huh? I haven’t been very active here or anywhere else for quite a long time, but the past few months have been for a very good reason.
In mid to late December I started feeling sick, dizzy spells, vomiting, etc. It lasted for about 2 weeks before it started getting worse. Eventually I was vomiting at least once a day and I had so little energy I could barely walk. I also developed a bad pain in my gut.
Eventually the pain got so bad that I asked my mum to called an ambulance on January 16, which I believe was Saturday. That night I was taken to hospital but it took me 5-6 hours before I was even seen by anyone. Somehow they weren’t able to find anything and I was released the next day.
That night however I went back as I was in so much pain and couldn’t keep anything down. Same thing happened except I was there for 2 and a half days and they did absolutely nothing. I was basically released with a pat on the back and told ‘we might never find what’s wrong’.
The next day I had gotten so bad I couldn’t physically sit up, I had to have help even having a shower. I felt absolutely terrible. So that night my mum took me to a different hospital as it was clearly not doing any good going to the other one.
It was honestly incredible how fast they moved once they saw my condition, and I will always be thankful for that as I would later find out that I was dying. After the doctors discovered I had Addison’s disease, aka Adrenal insufficiency, they realised I was having an addisonian crisis. I had 72 hours once it started to get help or else I was a goner. By the time I had gotten to the hospital I had approximately 7 hours or so before my body started completely shutting down. It was absolutely terrifying.
It was even worse when I learned that I will likely go through this at least once a year from now on as that’s the normal for Addison’s. It’s been very hard to come to terms with that I almost died and might not of been here had we chose to go back to the other hospital.
I just wanted to let you all know exactly why I’ve been so distant from everyone and everything. I’ve had a lot to think about these past few months and it hasn’t been easy for me.
Anyway.. thank you to anyone that reads this all the way though. It means a lot to me. Bye
OMG dear, I was so happy to see a notification from you, I was starting to worry that you ended up leaving without telling anyone... And then, I read the whole thing and my jaw just dropped ? You’ve been through so much within the past months, I really can’t believe you were handled so poorly. Unfortunately I can understand that feeling as regards your almost death experience, I had a similar problem like twelve years ago and it may take a while for you to handle it. Well, I will not expand on my own experience, it doesn’t matter. What matters though is that you are now aware of what happening to you and I really hope those doctors won’t give up on you. All I can do is sending you support, I would love to help you in any other way but I don’t really know how I can. Take care of you, okay ? It’s fine that you wanted to stay far from everyone and everything, you had a lot in your mind to take care of and it will take a long time to work this out. No one will be mad at you for disappearing for a while when you explained why. I am really relieved that you are doing as fine as you could, at least we get some news from you and it’s really nice TwT
Well I will not bother you any longer, just take care of you ! I still am shocked somehow so I think I will repeat myself but I don’t know how you could feel better so rest, and take your meds if you have any, and aaaah please just take care omg T^T I send you lots of love if it can be of any help !! ♥️♥️
