Nasuea, pink tint in vision, cramps, and dizziness Posted: 03-30-08 19:23pm
This all came on quite suddenly. The nasea
first then the pink vision and cramps and
then the dizziness. What the heck is going
on? Has anyone ever had this happen
before?

Go To A Doctor!
That's all I can suggest, especially if
this has not gone away!! If it was a
momentary thing then hey, weird stuff
happens. But if it has been ongoing, I'd
be in the ER right NOW.

The vision weirdness has gone away, sorry
I should have said that, so I'm not as
worried as I was. I'm still feeling icky
on and off though.
I don't have health insurance right now so
going to a doctor concerns me as I already
have mounting medical and other bills
after getting laid off this past April I
just finally found a job in February. So
going to a doctor isn't much of an option
I really wanted to know if anyone had gone
through something similar or if this was
an indication that maybe my migraines were
coming back and this was like a long auroa
or something. A headache never came though
(although I took some old migraine meds so
maybe I warded it off). Dramamine actually
helped a lot too.

Seeing that I can't get into a doctor
because I ahve called everyone in the
yellow pages and nope not without
insurance. That leaves the ER as my only
option... been in there enough times and
am drowning in debt from the bills now.
I'd rather put food in my kids mouth and a
roof over her head. Reality is many people
have to choose between the two.

Seeing that the condition you have may put
you at risk of serious illness, blindness,
death....because who knows what this
condition is....I think it would be better
to have their mother than anything else
don't you think?
Some doctors do understand their patients
needs, and some will take an out of pocket
cash payment or even reduce the fee if
they see that the person cannot pay.
There are also charitable organizations
that can help you out. There is one near
the hospital where I went...it is a
community of charitable sisters who accept
donations to help pay for those who
cannot. They ask nothing in return other
than you contribute to help others when
you do have the money....and if you never
do, that is ok too.

I have called everywhere known to man.
There is nothing like that for miles and
miles I called even places an hour away...
it just isn't available here.
I found one clinic, they saw me 4 months
after my first phone call and it took them
almost 3 months to call me back. It is all
volunteer based.
Symptoms aren't there what am I going to
do go to the ER and say my stomach aches
and I feel dizzy? Without insurance they
aren't going to do any of the tests they'd
do for someone with insurance (been
dancing that game since last April).
I will hopefully have insurance soon now
that I am finally working again at
somethign that will actually give me
insurance, and I'll go then if one of
these episodes happens again. Or I will
discuss it at my first appointment (which
is probably a good idea). I think I have
about 2 more months before insuance kicks
in. I waited longer than that to get into
the only clinic I found to see me. Even
that clinic only does prevenative care,
meaning no specialized care, no x-rays, or
anything like that. It is for people with
things like High BP and need check ups and
refills, or someone with depression who
needs antidepressants, or any other
"normal" type thing that goes on.
The past 11 months have really been some
of the roughest for me, and I haven''t
exaclty had the easieist life. I went from
working since I was about 14 to being laid
off and not workign for the first time in
my life at 29 years old. From a paycheck
to paycheck gig, to no paycheck, to
unemployment, to loosing unemployment to
waitressing and making if I was lucky $30
on a full shift it really stunk. Finally I
have a "real" job again.
