Title: Weird question........
Post by taraann on Oct 6^th, 2004, 9:40am

A couple weeks ago Sam brought me to the ER. Sometimes when my CH's get (what I call outta control) in high cycle if I go to the ER and get a few shots or an iv with steroids and some naseau and some pain meds it seems to hold the bad ones at bay for a week or so. Well we just moved here to WV and no insurance yet, and one particular hospital has a charity thing, where they pay for your bill or atleast lower. Sam thought we should try the ER in hopes I might hold the bad CH's off till we get insurance or atleast get some refills on my current prevents and maybe an abortive (got no abortive right now) Well to make along story short on that ER trip, it was a complete waste of time (about 6hrs of time!)

Well I am having no problem with side affects right now but was wondering if anyone had any severe tightness/ unstoppable clenching from IV drugs. This also happened when I was hospitalized last winter in NH. This last time they gave me Reglan, benedryl, and compazine. Not sure if I ever had compazine last time but i did get the other two for sure. What the heck is up with giving me two different naseau meds anyway? BUt back to the point. I could NOT stop tensing and clenching my Jaw, to the point it hurt. This carried on for well over 24 hrs after ward, it is a very frustrating thing. Also I felt like I wanted to "jump" outta my own skin, just wanted to get the hell outta there and be in my own home and sleep, but sleep of course was a no go anyways.

Well just curious for future reference anyways. I'll check in later, I'm at work right now and my boss will be hollering for me any second!

Saw weird and could not resist.

Where are the edges taraann? Head and body? What is common?

Scared? I'd be if I had to do what you had to do to find some peace. I can't respond to your question directly because I have not had to endure the level you've described,... thank God.

Discuss with doc.
