Medical Update
Ok ... So it may be a little worse and im not fully out of the woods.

10:00 pm - 101.8
10:30 pm - 102.2
11:13 pm - 102.4
11:30 pm - 102.7

Plus my emotions and hormones are waaaaaaaaaaaaay. I cried twice laying on the loveseat for no reason. Im misinterperating everything Kevin is saying and that makes me wonky and hes getting frusterated because im misinterperating it (i think he feels bad for not being able to help me so hes firing back saying things, which, is causing me to yell and say things). Ive tried apologizing but hes all upset and no matter how i apologize, hes saying "Yeah, I can tell it means so much for you to say."

First fight in a good two months. I was wondering when the streak was going to break. Now, I can stop worrying. i wonder if hes going to misinterperate this too.

My heart is racing, my vision is kinda blurry and i just feel like im dying.

Im drinking some tropical punch with frozen strawberries, hoping to get my vitamins back in. Ive been downing so much water that i swear you could build a pier across my ass!

I wanna make some fruit smoothies (i hear those help) but standing up and going through all that shit ... well, it just makes me a lot more tired thinking about it.

Once I reach 103, Ill go to the ER. ive always been the person to wait till the last minute to do something. I mean, it never fails. You have a 101.7 or 102.0 temp and you get to the hospital. You have to wait till they call you and then by the time you get seen, your fever is down to normal. They find nothing wrong and you get sent home ... with a bill ... for something you know is wrong. Thank god for Medicaide.

I figure if I wait till 103.0, then by the time i get seen, ill still have a temp. Remember i was feverish last night and in a couple hours i was at 97.0.

GOD! Why am i burning up yet i have goosebumps and im freaking cold!?

On the positive note, my new Ravenloft Tarokka deck has come in and I cant wait till the first. Im so getting it!

I also hope to get better by the end of May. I still have to pack and move and i just cant ask Marie to allow me one more month. Tempting as it is to have an extra month where im not so sick, i dont know if she would. And I cant ask. Shes hardly ever here and she pretty much doesnt return my calls, i dont wanna email and shes only social at LARP.

Can this all end?

If anyone needs me, my cell is 770.912.8700. Dont be afraid to call anytime. Anytime.

I agree, go to the hospital. I know you are strong like I am, but don't be stupid. I played tough, and I almost died in the hospital. Blessed Be May the Goddess be your Guide

If you want to talk to me...you should try my CELLPHONE or EMAIL. You have not tried to get in touch with me at all.

You are the one that chose June 1st. I never mentioned that date. Since you have told me that date, i have decided to buy the condo and will be moving between June and July so you would need to find something soon anyways since i am not going to be there in August. I would never kick someone out that was sick.

School is kicking my ass and my computer at home is not funtioning very well so it is easier to stay at Rileys and work on his machine. Plus, i have to meet with my team members for one of my classes and they live over here by Riley. (in fact, the meeting place is in the condo complex that i am buying the condo from.) My focus right now is 100% on school. I might not be playing LARP this saturday because of this one class that is taking up all my free time. You can ask anyone else and they will tell you how busy i have been. I have also had to do mandatory overtime at work to help us catch up.

If you are sick as you say...GO TO THE HOSPITAL. You don't pay for hospital bills since you are on disability. So use it! You have been told time and time again that if your temperature got to 100, you needed to go in to see the doctor. Kevin has the time to take you so you do not have an excuse to not go. Stop talking about it and just go.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad! High fevers are just so awful! And they leave you drained and tired to boot, which sucks when you already felt that way to begin with! Hope you feel better soon! Let Rich and I know if you would like any help with packing and moving. We owe a lot of moving karma. :)

Please Don't Wait

Hey Ryan,

I'm really worried about you. Please please please! Don't wait! I know what you mean about the bills. My parents got charged for two ibuprofen when they had whiplash. It's insane, but you're sick and they might be able to do something that could help.

And on a milder note, when you said you were dehydrated, you might try this. I've been kind of in the same boat with the eczema. I was told I need to drink of 100 + ounces of water a day. I don't remember what it was exactly, but basically, I was drinking water non stop all day. And I was still getting dry mouth, restless leg syndrome, and a lot of other stuff which is all caused by ongoing dehydration. What's been helping me is to drink some Gatorade along with the water. I dont' know if you can afford it, but if you can, a little bit goes a long way.

I'm praying for you. I really wish there was something that I could do to make this better. :-( Please go and have the doctor look at you.

Quarter to Half strength gatorade is the best (1-2 parts gatorage, 2-3 parts water). If you only drink water all day and not much food, you'll go into what's called hyponutremia, which basically means 'lack of nutrients' because you've diluted them so much with the water. Gatorade has the electrolites needed, but full strength gatorade has WAAAY too many.

I don't want to call you if you're all sick and wake you up. Fever-y people need rest. Lots of rest. And liquids. And possibly giant squids. So, I'll post here so you can pick this up either when you're better or when you're awake.

Um... if you haven't figured it out, it's Kat (Ariana) from LARP.

Here's hoping you feel better soon.... very soon. :::lame internet hug::: I know it's not as good as a real hug, but it's the best I can do at the moment. Now, go, get some nummy liquids (like chicken noodle soup, tomato soup, or some nice tea), get some sleep, and feel better.

:::teasingly Ariana voice::: - That's a direct order, Masque.

:::one last, big hug:::

Labratt sent me to come abd give you some good thoughts... so here are mine for you.

Oh, for the luvva Mike don't be a drama queen! Go to the hospital- free on disability? Live in the ER!! "Nurse, I need another smoothie... I'm all hot and fevery! And a sponge bath please!"

Martyring yourself and getting snappy with Kevin does not help anyone. Sick? See wise man or medicine woman. Either one wiser than you and going to tell you to rest and take in fluids. Ugh. And maybe do some tests to see if you got viral infection or bug, and give you shot to help kill it. Ugh.

Now toddle off, do the right thing and then you'll feel better. And when you feel better this will all look like foolishness, and the future will look like a bright and shiny place again. I promise. Drag queen's honor :)

And for the record, I wouldn't delete crashboombang. If it irritates him so badly to have you listing him as a friend, keep it up. I've added him too.. c'mon, everybody join in! It's mess with a jerk week!

Hey I just stumbled across your lj from labratt77, and i was checking out your story. Well, i wanted to let you know i think its really cool the way you track you disease and experiences with it. its something that can prepare those with the sickness for when it happens. I hope you dont mind if i add you to my freinds list, if so, let me know.

December 2002: I had a fever of 102 and refused to go to the hospital until my partner physically carried me to the car and drove me there.

There I found out that my blood-oxygen level was near critical. Doctor: "Two more hours and we would not have been able to re-oxygenate your blood - you would simply have died."

Learn from my near-fatal mistake -- GO NOW!

Ryan, this is Ryan Nock, from ENWorld. I hope you're able to get this message, because I knew of no other way to get in touch with you. I want to say you're too precious a person to let yourself die. I mean, I know you've been fighting this, and doing an incredible job, but please know that it is with complete honesty that I say you are a good person, something rare and wonderful in this world.

I have never known you to be cruel or bitter, never harsh, never ignorant, never uncaring. You have suffered greatly in your life, but because of it, you seem to know the value of goodness. You are a good human being, prayed for by thousands of people whose lives you have brightened by showing that people can be decent and still have some . . . questionable tastes. *grin*

You have never built a house for the homeless, or saved someone's life (or heck, maybe you have; I sadly do not know you as well as I would have liked), but I'm sure that, if you were faced with a hopeless fight, you'd kinda want to slay the dragon.

If nothing else, thanks for getting me to watch Joss Whedon's shows. Give me a call some time. 404-634-4721.
