Yet another post

Sorry for another post I did post earlier today. I as suddenly hit with some bad dt's like shaking rapid heart rate and anxiety. I called the hospital to see if I should go in and she did suggest it. So I told my husband I was leaving and he got upset and demanded to know why so,I told him. His response was "go take a hot bath and try and relax" I know what his deal is, he is already drinking and isn't taking this serious. He thinks I'm a hypochondriac at times. The hospital said the pharmacy is open till 10 and that's the latest in town so if I,to,I need to do it now. Ugg why is he acting like,this.

Sounds to me like you should get moving to the hospital. His thoughts are irrelevant if you are having severe withdrawals.

How long has it been for you? How long have you been detoxing?
Is your husband a co-alcoholic?
Did you end up going to the ER?

im worried if I drive myself they will give me something there and I won't be able to drive home. last time I was soooo sick with something else and he would not take me and threw a fit when I drove myself and called him to pick me up. From what the nurse said I would be in and out with pretty much a prescription to make sure I wasn't going to have a seizure.

An ambulance will give you a quick ride.

If a medical professional said to go in, I highly doubt anyone here will say different. You really should go.

Drunk people react in all kind of stupid ways, Keets.

If you're worried about getting there or back why not get a cab - or if you're really worried, an ambulance?

If need be, you can also leave your vehicle there and cab it home, or have someone could give you a ride? (An ambulance would work too of course)

I wouldn't mess around with a fast heart rate. Please get to a hospital.

My fiance and several close friends are co-alcoholics. We actually had a long talk about it Friday night, my fiance had only recently opened up about to talk about her drinking. They are at a place where they aren't ready to quit but want to cut back. I know they probably can't, but it also motivated me to give getting sober another serious shot. The potential life and death implications of drinking not just for myself but my loved ones really hit home.

Let us know how you are

You need to go NOW!!!! Having the dt's is a very serious thing. With your husband drinking, being at home is not a safe place for you to be, especially if things get worse and god forbid, you have a seizure. Like someone else said, call for an ambulance. Once the hospital stabilizes you and you have your perscription, call a cab. Do you have family or friends that can help you? There should be nothing about, other than how to get there and back. John

I'm sorry you're hurting. I'll be hurting soon too and I'm afraid.
Don't wait til it's too late to go into the doctors. You're husband will understand later, just focus on the now. Making it safely through the withdrawals is all that matters.
Stay hydrated, try some sugar water, a cold rag on your forehead, deep breaths. You can do this.

Hubby doesn't sound too supportive to me. I'd call a taxi and get yourself there. You can't force him to be helpful or loving.

I'm new today and I'm afraid of the withdrawals because it's been soo long since I've gone any consecutive days without. I feel your urgency in this message and it scares me because going to the doctor isn't an option for me. What are dt's?? And how long are my hands going to shake??

As others have already said, please go to the hospital. You can worry about getting home later (depending on severity, they might keep you anyway). It's nothing to take lightly; a lot of us here can attest to that.

Get some medical help, it's not worth the risk to procrastinate.
