After being told I could not switch primary care doctors. I asked if I could be seen to follow up from getting Torodal yesterday and still being in pain. I was told to go to the ER as doctor’s office couldn’t do anything for me at this point.
I expected to go to the ER and get some answers. Instead, I got the same exact thing I would have gotten at the doctor’s office. More Toradol and more phenegren. It has done nothing for me. The pressure in my head is unbearable right now. My hand was twitching as I started to type this. I am dizzy. Laying down has done nothing. I can not sleep.
I really am at a loss. I understand trial and error but when I see my blood pressure higher than when I came in to the ER as I am about to be discharged, it’s not right.

Hope you get better real soon.

I wish you would have taken a note book and pen with you to the hospital and made a log of everything, times, names of who saw you and everything. Ask people there names and titles and in front of them write the info down.
Then they think you are keeping a sueing log for lawyers. Believe me, you get better care because they are afraid of a lawsuit.
Why do I know this? Because I used to be a nurse and the hospital lawyers gave seminars on people like this during our orientation to the hospital.
They said to give V.I.P. treatment to people like this and be extra careful with them and to go above and beyond.
We were also to report to our head nurses whenever we came in contact with a patient or their family’s keeping these logs, so that all staff that might come in contact with them could be instructed on how to care for them.
I actually came across two families that did this when I was a nurse and they did get special treatment and better care in my opinion.
Did you ask the ER doc’s to check and see if you might have a cavernous hemangioma on the spinal cord somewhere that when inflammed could be causing the blood pressure to go up because the spinal/cranial fluid was not circulating correctly. It is a very rare problem, but it can happen.
So quick to give you meds and kick ya to the curb!
