Well, since my surgery almost 8 weeks ago I have been admitted to hospital 3 times. Each time no one has been able to fine out what is wrong and I have almost died.
I am sat in hospital as we speak, I was admitted at my 6 week check (7 really) as the consultant felt I had Beriberi disease which is extremely rare. He has only seen it once in his long career. Well, I have been given Thiamine intravenously and orally and there is no change in my health or my B1 levels.
I am at my absolute wits end. They tell me that my B1 levels were low before surgery (that blood test was done in June) which is very strange apparently. B1 deficiency just "doesn't happen to people with a balanced diet" which I did have/do have. The Dietician is happy with my current diet. All other vitamins are fine. Blood sugar fine.
My temperature keeps spiking- no explanation other than that they may have missed a tiny leak. I am in no pain though, not even when eating. My inflammation markers are slightly raised they sat.
I have been away from my children for a total of 19 days since my surgery. I have never been away from them for longer than 2 days. This morning I burst into tears when they told me I still couldn't leave because they still didn't know what the issue was.
