Taking myself to the hospital
 

Please pray for me. I relapsed and I'm a mess. I have literally hit rock bottom. I haven't eaten anything in days and I am severely dehydrated. I can barely move. I don't have insurance, but I know I need to go. I'm sure they are going to admit me so I will update when I get home. I'm beyond terrified and I'm angry at myself for doing this.

Hang in there get yourself checked out moving forward it's okay we are all here for you

Thinking of you and wishing you well.

good for going.PLEASE be honest with them about the alcohol problem and seek help. alcoholism requires more than not drinking alone to conquer.

good decision to get checked out. I hope you feel better soon.

Thinking of you, and sending good vibes your way.

Thinking of you. Sending hugs.

You're doing the right thing. Please let us know how you're doing.

You made a great decision, i hope you get well very soon.

Love, thoughts and prayers go with you xx

Last time I did that they had me stay overnight with a saline drip. I did have insurance but was still billed a bit over $1800 from my insurance company, and that was almost 15 years ago. Never again will I optionally go to the er. Although the next best option is to wait two or three weeks for a dr appointment

I think, since the member is in bad physical shape, that going to the hospital, regardless of the cost, is the best choice. It could be too risky to wait for a doctor's visit.

Perhaps. I know it certainly wont hurt her any. I dont indulge in giving medical advice one way or the other, so I will not advise one way or the other. Thats entirely up to her. I was just giving my experience of what happened when I went. I even waited to post several hours later so as to not influence her decision. I was in bad shape also, but after all is said and done 15 years later, I still regret the decision to go. Hopefully she will have a better experience.

I'm glad you're going to the hospital StrengthNMe.
I didn't, and I still regret that decision everyday.

Some things are worth more than money IMO - and continued good health is one of them.

Let us know how you get on :)
