Default Back for advice!

Hi all, I haven't been on here in almost two years. Sorry to have not been supportive of you all.

I had been doing really well, except the at least once a month U.T.I.s for the last year and a half. Of course my MS symptoms act up every time I have an infection.

Well I had another one, went on antibiotics for five days and the symptoms didn't get any better. I went back to the urgent care yesterday for right flank pain and weakness. They sent me to the ER.

After three hours there they sent me home with no clue what is going on.

They did an ultrasound of my kidneys and bladder, they look fine of course, even though I'm going to the bathroom every 20 minutes and look like I have 2 black eyes. They drew blood for cbc, cmp, and cultures to check for a blood infection (that will take 2-3 days) as well as urine samples.

They don't think it's a blood infection because my blood pressure was high and my pulse low, instead of the other way around.

When they discharged me they said my white blood count was normal for me, between a 3 and a 4, that is not normal for me and because it's "only a little low" they are ignoring it!

They gave me a bag of iv fluids and I refused morphine. I'm not going to take a pain medicine that doesn't relieve the pain but makes me miserable.

The doctor at the ER acted like she didn't know why I even came in.

So now I'm home, in horrible pain, with nothing that helps. They tell me there is nothing wrong with my kidneys and that I don't have an infection. I'm dizzy and weak any time I stand up and in so much pain it's difficult to eat.

I just don't know what to do! I guess there's not really anything to say or do, I just needed to vent.

Thanks for always letting me vent, you guys are awesome!
