Thanks everyone, well after a hospital stay.. i'm home!
Monday i was terrible, i couldn't walk let alone look after my 2 kids so she took them for the afternoon til O/h got home, at 10am i phoned my GP's and requested a home visit, i waited til 3pm and hadn't heard anything, i was just going to ring them when my phone went, i answered it was the nurse at the GP. She was very impatient, i told her my symptoms she told me i was over reacting and to go to bed and rest, i had spots coming out on me, she then told me i'm delerious and imagining it. I was crying and put the phone down her. when O/h got home my temp was sky high and my chest was being crushed.
Mum phoned the out of hours doctors, who rung me at 9pm and i told him my symptoms, he said its nothing to do with my MMR and to relax, go to bed and go to my GP surgery in the morning to request same day appointment, i told him i can't get out of bed, he asked if anyone in the family has a cold, i said no its nothing like a cold. He told me to stop worrying.
10pm my mum phoned to see how i was, she told me shes taking me to hospital, i was too ill i couldn't argue. Off we went.
Immediatley we were seen and i was put in a side room away from everyone, temp was 39.3 and heart rate was 120bpm. They took so much blood from me, i was given an IV of something or another i'm not sure, one was paracetamol and the other was something to kill infection. I stayed in A&E til 3:00am, then was taken to the ward, they considered me contagious so i had my own room
yay lol.
They did numerous tests and they showed i had been infected with measles and my white blood cell level was 0.2 (which is ridiculously low!!) so i got given an injection to boost my immune system, and was kept on IV drip of antivirals until Wednesday morning 4:00am, when i was given them orally. Also developed chickenpox.. lovely thanks to my beautiful nephew haha. So it was a combination of measles, a crap immune system and chickenpox... they said if i'd of listened to the nurse at my GP's i'd of most likely collapsed and to put it nicely i may of not recovered.. that bitch needs to be sued!! My kids could of been without a mum because of her giving out mishanded advice, and that DR on the phone saying i should relax.. relax?!?!
It did go after a few days though. If it's no better and you're worried I'd see the GP x
