I have been so ill for over a month and even had to call an ambulance once because I could not get out of bed. Doctors can't "find anything wrong" though some have said that I have a bacterial infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. One doc even saw pus draining from my cervix. If that is not a sign of illness, what is? Other docs won't believe it because PID is generally sexually transmitted and I have been faithful to my husband of 6 years. I was under the impression that there is a such thing as a clinical diagnosis of PID, and that it can occur in monogamous women from an overgrowth of bacteria. That is what I believe I had and am finally getting over after strong antibiotics that made me very sick. Anyway, I only weigh 95 pounds and am feeling better but still don't have an appetite. Why wouldn't they admit me to the hospital??? I really really felt that they should. I have good insurance. Now I am really concerned and scared about healthcare these days. Why are people sent home sick? That should never be. People who are too sick to take care of themselves should be able to stay in the hospital for a time until they are well enough to care for themselves again regardless of what the "tests" show
