    Go to emergency room, they have to take you.

    ^^This^^ and with ACA you can apply for medical assistance through you local office. Clearly you have medical problems. Go to the ER and they will tell you how to apply in the billing office. Good luck!

    Hope you're doing better.

    Just wanted to say I've been through a similar type thing with having my TOM for 2-3 months nonstop. I don't recall weight gain associated with mine, but I really wasn't checking back then.

    Long story short I ended up having several non-cancerous uterine polyps that they had to go in and surgically remove via D&C.

    I agree with everyone else. GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!! I've been through that long of bleeding before...my thyroid was all messed up, plus I was diagnosed with anemia. Still, GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!!

    So happy that you not only went to ER, but that you stood up for yourself and demanded to see another doctor!! Great going!! Type 1 diabetes, though rare in adulthood is possible. When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the doctor told me that due to auto immune disease issues he felt I was actually a type 1 diabetic, but that treatment is what is important, not which type you have.

    Also, the first ER doctor told her that her hemoglobin and hematocrit were ok, he most likely only ordered those tests, not a complete blood panel. So hooyah to the second doctor, who obviously took her job seriously!!

    Is she giving you lasix to get rid of the extra fluids? I sure hope so as that will help you feel so much better!!

    I am so happy you are getting treatment and although things will seem overwhelming at first, they will get better!!! Hugs and prayers for an unhampered recovery and regaining your strength and feeling better!!!

    Thanks for all the updates!! Let us know how things go!!

    You don't owe anyone here an explanation. Take care of yourself - glad you got answers.

    This! Good for you for insisting on a second opinion.

    I seriously doubt that the physician only ordered an H/H. There are protocols to follow and tests needed to rule out different diagnoses. Nobody knows what really happened and they should stop congratulating her for getting a second opinion. Just because the 2nd physician admitted her doesn't mean it was necessary. This happens all the time. We admit patients after they repeatedly come back to the ER. Is there something wrong, yes. Could it be treated outpatient, possibly. Is it an emergency, not likely.

    this frustrates me....she was bleeding for 5 months, and its nothing??? not an emergency??? sounds like a doctor that told a co-worker that had an awful pain in his stomach, he had it for a few days and finally went to see his doctor, they didn't even do anything but told him if it got worse to come back and sent him home, well not even 2 hours later he passed out and had to be hauled into the ER with severe bleeding from with-in. Now this guy wasn't the type to just go in for every little illness, but his doctor treated him as such, why is that Doctors seem to not want to listen to us??? they hardly do any kind of exam and when we go in with something that we have had for awhile, they tell us, well if it doesn't get better in a week or two, come back...what the heck....we are here now, do something, its already been a week or two...

    I'm glad this girl did stick up for herself...there are some good doctors out there that will listen...

    Because it was completely made up. You cannot bleed that heavy for that amount of time without bleeding to death.

    it sounds like you should be telling your physician or nurse practioner this, not random people on the internet. the last place to get accurate advice is this forum. but this is accurate, that is not normal and you need to schedule an appointment with some type of medical professional.

    best of luck.

    I take it you didnt read with the intention of helping. You just read with the intention of replying.

    OP, go to the hospital mama. They have to see you. Good luck xo
