Please help - need advice after hospital stay

Hi
My name is Lynne, RRMS Three years. I don't usually post because I don't do crowds...lol
Long story short - I called an ambulance to take me to the hosp. on Thursday morning,
as I woke up yawning like crazy, then my legs started to stiffen with each yawn and a few
minutes later I could barley move. Breathing was shallow, pulse was fast and I was also on the verge of panic.
Got there and I had a fever was slight head-achy and a bit of nausea. I didn't want any food. Ended up only being a UTI. Hooked me up to IV and antibiotics. Took me till that night until I could move a bit more. Then they were worried about low blood pressure and gave me too much IV Fluids the next day. Had swollen eyes. I got restless and could not sleep at all the second night, and decided to go home the next morning as I could walk good enough again. After I got home my feet and lower legs started swelling, I weighed myself because I was worried I might have lost weight after two days of no food and I had gained 8 lbs of water. It's going down a bit now after copious amounts of urine.
STILL no appetite or thirst and general anxiety. What happened to my thirst and hunger? My tummy growls but I have to force down the food. I think my taste is off a bit too. I am in such a mess!
Sorry for all the rambling.
Lynne
