Do you believe the EC doctor said to me ... "Let *ME* diagnose your problem, I am the doctor and you are the patient" I felt like "showing him" what the pain was like but I could not find any wooden stakes laying around. Then, after assuring me that he *does* know what cluster headaches are all about (and making me wait in agony in the waiting room for about an hour (you all know what happens after that), he has the nerve to ask (after I complain about the wait) would you like some o2?, What really got me is the nurse that saw how the o2 helped immediately the last time I was in and just let me sit out there for an hour rocking back and forth and has the gaul to mension to me (as im finally walking in) "looks like your headache is much better now"!
He did give me some Stadol nasal, dropped the heart rate down to 40's (scary), and the out of body experience was cool, till the pain set in, I need AIR!
a least 7's every two hours all night long, for 7 days, or has it been years, I'm getting a little wore out ....
never had it like this, anyone else have this?
ya'll have a great day now ya'hear
