    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Not the ER results I wanted

Started 6 days ago with a migraine, that included chills, fevers that alternated every hour with temps hiting 102. Being told by everyone im just sick its the flu. Considering ive NEVER been sick a day in my life.

Then friday-sunday my neck went stiff and pain was worse and my right eye blurred out and is still blurred out. Come sunday i was fed up with it and went to the ER and they have me registered and IV in in under 30 mins.

Went to ER they put me on IV for about 5 hours of pain meds that helped a lot. But eye they aren't sure why its blurred so im going to eye doctor this week to get new glasses and exam.

They ran 2 CT scans, one came clean but the second one with iodine contract found a 1mm Aneurysm in back of my brain towards neck. So next week i go to One of the best Neurologist to get more tests ran, and proceed there with scheduled regular scans to insure nothing is growing,leaking or ruptured. If that happens he will have to go in and repair it.


So i have no sworn no more pop with caffeine, alcohol or extreme stress or strain to minimize my risks.
Something that freaked me the hell out finding out at 11pm last night.

Feel better Rich! That's scary stuff right there! I'm glad they were able to isolate the problem so they can keep an eye on it. Wishing you the best!
 
Thanks, migraine is still there but the iv and tylenol im taking is keeping me comfortable.

Monday i go to top neurologist for more tests and to see if i need annual mri and ct scans to ensure its not growing.

My diet could be better, right now im focusing on removing pop/soda out mostly and doing juices,green teas and water. Ill try not to over exert when lifting weights, and do more cardio.

Even though its only 1mm, it can go south fast
 
Ouch, man. Time to put yourself onto intensive care and focus on doing whatever you can to get better. That is nothing to mess around with.

Scratch this, I took some Tylenol and its subsided the pain enough i can tolerate it, red eyes going away slowly.

Trying to hold out till i see the Neurologist monday. But its something in my neck causing this migraine. Once i wake up for the day, get motivated and keep neck upright, pain is gone good 60%
 
get better Rich at least you didn't wake up in the ER is the only thing I can say in the form of good point of view.
I almost end up there 2x this week lol
Now I don't have any income or medical insurance I guess I have to tuff everything out now. I am learning to me more attentive to the signs of my sugar starting to get low.
 
All i can say is thanks as i cant see. Eyes are blurred out.
I went to er tuesday night and i been Dmited since. Looks like maybe leave tomorrow.

I had spinal tap whic was clear and no bleeding, nerulogist came and said there is no aneryesm. What they saw was a cluster of vessels engorges.

The spinal tap said looks like viral menigits which is the good one to have. But ao far Ll blood work from infectious specialist cant find anything in blood and are starting to think the migraine causes aome other virus from the swelling.

I was on antibiotics and in a private room alone. The one drug they give me torodol sp? Works just extreme sweats.

Ill have more once blood work finished and xrays come
 
I'm terribly sorry to hear that you're going through all this, it sounds like they're putting you through a lot. It must be very hard. The hospital and tests are for the best though, so please hang in there! I really hope that they're able to diagnose and fix you up as soon as possible. Fingers crossed that it is viral meningitis and will clear up on it's own.

Because I don't know how bad your eyes are now...
Take care of yourself and get better soon Rich!
We're wishing you the best!
 
Meningitis is very unpleasant, we have a form of it in Fiji that a few of my friends have had. One of them was totally convinced he had a brain tumour, so the meningitis diagnosis was a huge relief to him.

You might not be able to see this relatively bright side through all that blurred vision, but it's better than an aneurism, as it will pass and you won't need any surgical intervention.

Problem is, as it's viral, they probably can't treat the infection itself, just the symptoms, until it clears up. You really need to take the Doc's orders seriously and just be quiet and inactive for a while.

Hope it clears up as soon as poss, this is a really painful thing to have.
 
Yes i have facebook look up rich kedzierski jr.

Vision is very hard to see anything which is from full blown mograine. Im off antibiotics and just on saline potassium drip. Getting torodal sp? When pain comes back.

Find out more in morning when final blood work comes in and xrays are read.

But they did say if it is viral nothing they can do but keep me comfortable, and i need alot of rest and fluids. I been drinking v8 and tea for the caffeine to help lil bit.
