So I got out Monday, and told you all I would report to you after my doctors appointment on Tuesday, but when I went to the follow-up, I was feeling so weak, and felt like I was going to pass out, they took me back to the hospital. The lab guy tried to draw my blood, and I;'m a very hard stick anyway, he made me cry, and I don't cry when they draw my blood. He told me my veins were ceasing around the needle and thats why it hurt so bad. Then they sent someone else who tried in a spot that had been scarred over, but got it on the first try, and my labs came back saying I was very dehydrated. I was drinking all the fluids I could and didn't understand why. So the doctors came in and said they were going to have to open me up, just to look inside see if there was something wrong since I had so much bleedy the last time. So the next day they toook me back into surgery and found that I had a huge blood clot that was obstructing my bowels. It was old blood from the bleeding incident. So they washed it out and put a drain tube in, and kept me there until this afternoon. After surgery though I was able to get in all 64 ounces of water. I just wanted to let everyone know that I feel a lot better now, besides the headache I have right now. Does anyone sweat profusely in bed, or just at all? I seem to soak sheets with sweat, and have no fever at all. I shouldn't be going through menopause because I'm only 29. Thank you all for your prayers.

Sorry to hear you have been through so much. But I am glad that you went back to your doctor and they figured out what was wrong and were able to help you. I hope you have a speedy recovery now. Best of luck to you. Oh and no I don't sweat at night... it is so cold here in michigan right now that if I did it would probably freeze.... lol..... Shawn M.

Hi Miranda, I am so sorry to hear about all of your trouble. I am glad they found the problem and you are on the mend. As far as sweats go, I have chronic fatique and did this a lot until surgery. I have been told that this can happen at times your body has gone through a lot of trauma (like you have) or you are carrying a virus of some sort right now. Dont know for sure but hope this helps some. I would just give it a little time and see if it goes away....
