bad night

[dale12345]

Not the greatest night. Found my ex boyfriends mom passed out on the bathroom floor, called 911 she might had a heart attack, anyways it wasnt hard because my 9 year old was with me. Pretty stressful.

That's one hell of a shock to confronted by. You handled it well, you took control over anxiety and did what you know you need too. Remember that when you are struggling, it proves you have greater inner strength than you realise and it's a major positive albeit one we would rather never need to have tested.

I hope she is ok, Beth, and I hope you & your daughter are coping with the trauma of it. It may hit you later, anxiety can be like that when you've pushed it aside to spring into action, but if it does know that you are safe and did what you had to and accept it as delayed shock like anyone could feel.

Everyone on here will support you when you need it. Hang in there.

Actually it turned out she has c. diff and I have to go get tested tomm because it might what has been causing the IBS, It can be serious so I hope we both are ok. She didnt have a heart attack but it can be serious. Thanks for your support

Going to the Dr tomorrow is making me nervous because of my health anxiety, just hoping everything will be ok. OCD and Health Anxiety not fun. But I am trying to stay level headed.

thats an awful thing to deal with but you`ve done it and should really step back and be proud of yourself. we all worry that we`re not good enough, or brave enough, and someone else should sort things out but when it came to it you did what you had to.
it would have shaken anyone so don`t feel bad at all, hope the doctor helps you tomorrow, take care

I looked at teh back of my throat found a small bump , looked it up it is a sign of throat cancer, very very scared

Hi Beth,

Let a doctor be the judge of that. We get lumps in our throats due to many things.

My big brother had a lump and the biopsy was performed despite the consultant believing it to anything other than cancer. He was right, as we all knew he would be, as it turned out to just be a swollen nodule and they only removed it because it was causing pain.

And he'd been forcibly clearing his throat for over 20 years up to that point (several broken noses leading to a rhinoplasty and his nose partially collapsed again on the inside causing the issues with mucus he had before).

So, that's one example of non cancer. Remember, in the vast majority of even referrals to specialists, they don't turn out to be cancers. So, the odds are seriously in your favour that it will be something else.

I'm glad to hear your ex BF's mum hasn't had a heart attack. That's a massive relief. I'm sure they will get best sorted and hopefully you don't have it too. C.diff is very common from antibiotic treatment and very easily treated by switching them or starting one aimed at this infection.

Beth,

I've seen a few threads about c.diff on here this year and two posters in particular have medical knowledge in this area. I've found one of the threads and I'm thinking this will give you some reassurance because across each thread they have always said c.diff is pretty unmistakable due to the foul smelling watery poo. I'm thinking you would have noticed this and been pretty unwell from what they say:
