Things are getting strange.

I did some research last night, ALL the problems that landed me in the hospital this time are side effects from prescribed drugs, Enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide. Looking back I've been going downhill for months, major leg cramps, muscle pains all over and my lung therapy wasn't really effective.

When I got to the ER my kidney function was 15%, severe gout, couldn't walk, dehydrated and anemic to the point they gave me 2 units of blood as soon as they could get it.

I'm off of both drugs, last night I had the first pain free night of good sleep I've had in months, I can walk around and I'm actually feeling almost good sometimes.

When I checked out Monday my doctor told me to make an appointment for next week, I called this morning and he doesn't work there anymore! I had a near scene with him on Monday, he didn't want me to leave the hospital but I raised Hell Army style and he signed me out, and that is good because I was leaving no matter what he said.

Now I really suspect he was in CYA mode, he was in a panic state.

I never liked the idea of researching every prescription as soon as I got it, don't want my head to influence the results, but now I wish I had checked out the side effects, I could have spared myself a lot of pain.
