hey a couple of days ago i was in the hospital for 2 nights after patient first said i had some type of virus that they couldnt figure out what it was. they then called the rescue squad and 10 mins later when the ambulance arrived half my body would barely move. they got to the hospital and told the doctor i had a white count of 31. my symptoms got progressively worse over each hour. my symptoms included heavy breathing due to shortness of breath,extremely painful body aches so bad that i needed morphine and some other hospital pain medicine,cronic headaches in the back of my head,tingling/numbness in the left half of my neck and my left jawline, watery diarrhea (i had diarrhea and when i finished i collapsed and in a matter of seconds i was drooling sweat and all my breath was gone i couldnt breath and was gasping for air). pain and crazy constricting sensations in my legs. (it felt like my muscles were caving in and a boa constrictor was squeezing my legs). paralysis in half or more of my body,my nerves werent reacting to my fiacne or anyone else touching me except on parts of my face and chest,my whole body was so weak my eyes wouldnt even open a quarter of the way and i couldnt get out of bed without help,every hour or so i would have extreme aching pain that got worse and worse every time it happened. none of the doctors neurologists,virus doctors,medical doctors or registered nurses could figure out what it was. ive still been having shortness of breath,achenes,weakness and a couple others. im 22 years old and have perfect health and whatever this was destroyed my immune system,took all my electrolytes,took away my appetite,really messed up my intestinal system real bad, almost killed me and had my white count at 31 when i first arrived at the ER. its possible that it was increased hours later. whatever this was it nearly killed me and i was admitted to the hospital for 3 days. i was in the james river with a few friends 48 hours prior to the symptoms. i always carry a water bottle with me everywhere and didnt think about it but was dragging it through the river to get it across the river. i kept drinking out of it for the next 48 hours up until i started having the symptoms. if anyone who may know what this could be contact me please? im trying to make sure its not anything that will stick around.
