How frustrating when they don't find a cause! The reason I don't go straight to the hospital is that some Drs say things like they don't know why I'm here. I feel like a hypochondriac. I truely feel bad, even when fevers pass. Without a fever, they are more likely to just send u home. The Dr this morning wasn't sure whether to transfused me or not at 87.
I wish I would have told him, it may make me feel a whole lot better! But if they don't & just send me home, have to just live with that. Hard to though. Viruses are just getting nastier. Even for well people. So hard to know what is my MDS & what I just need to suck it up for! Still not feeling good.
