[Time_2_drink]

uesday evening

Had blood gasses like I said wrist and inner arm then pumped with pure oxygen Doctor returns repeats Blood gasses feeling like a pincushion another needle in stomach. For good measure. I'm Brought a Hot chocolate But not allowed to take Venus mask off to Drink it. .Then along comes junior Doctor Repeats Tests not without causing pain. I told her other Doctor didn't hurt she apologised then did them again Because Blood had clotted so. Waiting for results Breathing and Breathlessness awful and think it's very Bad

I have been where you are now. It took a few days to get my oxygen where they wanted it but they did it. Then reduced the CO2 somehow. Grit your teeth and hold on. Sending warm thoughts and a hug. x

Hi there T2D, oh the dreaded blood gases attempts can be painful and I've a clotting issue which meant the poor nurse had to do a Hussain Bolt run to get them to be tested asap! Hang on in there my girl and once your breathing issues get sorted, you'll be in a far better place- mentally as well,without all the worry of not knowing what's going on etc. Rest up and come back and keep us all up to date with your progress. Best wishes.x

[Time_2_drink in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Think the Doctors should be made to practise on themselves they may be a bit more carefull and we would not have such pretty coloured bruising. One of the patients said she says you have one chance of getting it right and if you don't I want someone else to do it .They had a bit of a problem with my blood clotting also what are we like take care x

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to Time_2_drink]

T2D how are you getting on today? My trapped wind/Indigestion/hyper inflated lungs - not sure what it is but whatever it is.....is driving me totally mad. I've tried all the usual remedies,breathing techniques etc but zero change. Guess what,no doctors appt til next Monday!

Are you back with Matron? Cx

Someone at the hospice recommended morrisons own indigestion tablets .Sods law no Doctors appointments it just isn't right at the momment I'm sat with second nebulisar on just haven't Been able to Breathe Hope tomorrow Be Better for Both of us xxx

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to Time_2_drink]

Hope the Morrison ones work more than Rennie's. Thing with doctors is just typical isn't it? Humidity coming down a lot now so my breathing getting a lot better. Fingers crossed yours will soon as well. Cx

Oh I do feel for you Time_2_drink . I do wish doctors would stop inflicting unnecessary pain. I ask every one to use Lidocaine now before anABG, I`ve had so many agonising ones. You have a right to ask for it. You`ve been through so much let`s hope this time they`ll sort you out properly. Sheila xx

[Time_2_drink in reply to mskpjb]

Thanks Sheila yes they really should give something to stop pain when there is no need .I am so fed up of going one step forward two well more steps Zback xx
