witchscauldronWoot. My migraine is gone gone GONE! XD About damn time...but geez. Feckin' Hospital. The triage check-in is never the same, because it depends on the nurse. The last one checked my blood sugar. This one didn't. This one bitched me out for not properly using their 0-10 pain scale. I mean, I dunno...frig, I had no idea where I'd put a migraine. It hurt. And my pain tolerance is insane...so I can function on levels of pain that cripple other people.
The wait was short...got in, talked to some people, got an order for Simitol in an IV *yays with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
serridwenn*. The IV was done by a student, who did very well, except it was bloody. Then a psycho nurse came and harangued me about what I'm doing to manage my diabetes, and why aren't I checking my blood sugar every day, and why don't I see my own family doctor blah blah blah...And I'm strung out, tired, in pain, and I can't cope with that. I cried.
The IV did its' magick, though...and lo and behold, after all my medication was in, the migraine was out. I cannot express how much better I feel. Problem was...I sat there for another hour and a half waiting for someone to take the damn IV out. !! And then, because we'd been there four hours, we didn't have enough money for parking.
And why is it doctors and nurses think they can preach to you from the pulpit of science when all you want is some relief and to go home? I have been informed, by three people tonight, that my blood pressure is always high when I go to the hospital, and normal elsewhere. Well, so? I mean, I assume it's high because I'm sick enough to go to the hospital - cure me, and it goes back to normal. I'm not gonna go running around stressed out about the potential of having slightly raised blood pressure once every three months because you think it's sermon-worthy. I didn't come to the hospital for a self-righteous speech from anyone about what I should and shouldn't be doing.
Blah. Grumpy, but feeling much better. I think I'll start on aura readings tommorow. :)
