Re: ER

[Guest guest]

Robin,

Sorry about your ER trip. & amp;nbsp; I just hate going to the ER. & amp;nbsp; One

thing

I do find helpful is that I tell them right off the bat that I have CP and

that my amylase & amp;amp; lipase do not elevate. & amp;nbsp; I have even had the

doctor

thank me for letting them know ahead of time. & amp;nbsp; Just something I thought

my

help, it's worth a try. & amp;nbsp; I hope you find some well deserved pain relief

soon.

Sending lots of happy thoughts your way.....

> Why is the ER designed to cause us such misery? I was so desperate

Wednesday night that I decided that I had no choice, I had been

putting it off since Saturday. But even after doubling up on my

medication, it didn't touch the pain, I was at a definite 10++++.

Hi Robin.

Boy, CAN I relate. We went Thursday. But thankfully we were able to

get one last shot, but it still wasn't enough. I haven't slept for a

month, and am so weak I can barely walk. That is the only medicine

that works for me also. This was the only time we were able

to " doctor " ourselves. They insisted on trying dimeral in the

begining, regardless of what we had to say. Of course, they found out

quickly that they were wrong. After that, they asked us what would

work. It kills me. We go to the same ER every time. They have on

record what they give me and how much. All they have to do is check.

But they don't. Oh well, thanks for listening. You're not alone, and

neither are we.

hope you are feeling better today. My honey stayed home with me today

to help me, god love him. He's such a wonderful man, and I am so very

lucky.

Take care! Hugs!
