Thanks, everyone who expressed concern and offered advice. I appreciate it. I spent much of yesterday at the e.r. Night before, my temperature went up to 102 and I wasn't thinking clearly enough then to go anywhere or even to call anyone. Before it got quite that high, though, I'd started taking Tylenol, so this brought the fever under control. When yesterday started off the same way as the day before, I went to the hospital. They were very thorough, took blood, urine, did a pelvic exam, took swabs. And yes, I was dehydrated, so they gave me i.v. fluids, along with a shot of pain medicine. In the end, they had no answer for me But they were able to rule a few things out - no infection in the lab results they did have back (though not all were back) and no abcess. During the pelvic, I could identify exactly where the pain was centered when he touched it, in the cervix...exactly where that ***** gyn was working when she decided my cervix was tight and needed to be dilated and she proceeded to hurt me so badly. They gave me scrips for pain and yeast (from all the antibiotics), which I have to pick up today, and a scrip to have an ultrasound ASAP. I have to call tomorrow and schedule it. Didn't believe it would be prudent to give me more antibiotics at this point. The e.r. doc spoke with my doc while I was there and went through all this. And I'm to call my doc if my temperature hits 101.5 again. Physically, I still feel like total crap. But I am feeling a bit relieved that I was looked at and I'm hoping a severe infection or injury would have been caught yesterday. It's still frustrating and scary that this is happening and no one knows why though. Also frustrating, scary, and otherwise upsetting is missing time from work over this! And the lack of exercise I've gotten over the last couple weeks I have my big charity walk coming up October 20th and am supposed to be walking 5-6 miles every Saturday at this point! It also feels like I'm missing time out of a life I've been truly enjoying for the first time in years! Thanks again for caring - and for letting me whine. Lisa

We spent the day in Cody, WY today and I got some pictures put up on my blog. They are matched with photos of us exactly 6 years ago today. INSANE the changes that have happened. http://www.djfsmith.com/f/?p=218 Hope everyone is having a super weekend!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Oh well. Guess I am doing something wrong. Not one change.

Lisa, Don't suffer in silence - go to the hospital and INSIST they check you thoroughly. Be sure to tell them about the GYN testing. I am not a nurse but wonder - did the jerk perforate something and you have developed an infection? This is not right. Even a low grade fever makes you feel like crap. Annette

Gotcha added and yup still have your addy =0) *huggles* Felicia =0)
