Experiences with

Intensive care

I was in intensive care for 2 nights under observation. I lost 4 kgs. I was stabilised and moved to the general ward where I spent 6 more nights. Nurses rushed in at times to wake me up when my pulse was irregular or too slow.

I have covid and cll just recently I had double pneumonia and was in hospital in intensive care. I have been given paxlovid and my meds list was on my report from hospital that I am on simvastatin. Do I take the paxlovid or not ?

it’s been 6 months since I was taken into intensive care due to low sodium. As this was partly caused by citalopram, the hospital stopped it immediately. I am still struggling to be normal. I am horrible to my family, I have hateful thoughts, am very anxious.

She had a stint in intensive care and on a ward where we were told she had a decompensated liver. She was very lucky to recover from intensive care. Mum is very secretive with any engagement with services since she was discharged. Recently I have found out that my mum is drinking again.

I’ve not been on here as had daughter seriously ill in intensive care she has now out and back home recovering been very scary.

He is currently in intensive care, he has a feeding tube and is bed bound. He is 53 years old with no medical history, 5 weeks ago was working 10 hour days with a very physical job.

The next day, he was admitted to intensive care for a week, followed by a transfer to the general ward for 12 days. He has since recovered, and we were discharged from the hospital. However, we’ve noticed that he yawns frequently, sleeps a lot, lacks attentiveness, and is often irritable.

Unfortunately my current job is in a hospital ward with intensive care beds so I don't think I can continue there as going into the unit to hand sick lines in triggers a complete meltdown and a explosion of PTSD emotions. Any suggestions as to what next would be appreciated.

I’m looking to connect with other care givers to compare and support each other. My mum is 76, she has had decompensated diagnosis for 1 year and 9 months. The average lifespan is apparently 2 years. She doesn’t drink which might go in her favour but she also has lung disease ☹️ She has been managing
