Life threatening vs. bad situation

[Guest guest]

Hi T,

Sorry don't remember your name, I'm in a major fibro fog right now, so please forgive me.

My opinion and my opinion only, is:

In a life threatening situation, you will probably need a trach and fast!!! That's the reason and everyone are pushing the Medic Alert bracelets I think. So an ER doctor will know your medical problems and be able to react immediately.

In a calm but bad situation, you need to see your ENT or Rheumy immediately to evaluate the situation. There is time for this in a situation like that, but don't hesitate or wait.

You should always see your ENT or Rheumy for any swelling, swallowing problems, sore throat, etc.....though. Don't wait till it's a medical emergency and depend on a ER doctor to know what to do.

OK, that's my 2 cents, hope it helps and good to see you post.
