I've no problem saying why. Emergency rooms are generally the worse spot to be in anyway - with a migraine, the noise & lights make it much worse. Plus the whining patients get treated first around here, regardless of how serious it is. I'm not a noisy whining type. I laid on the bed for a couple of hours before I was even looked at. They were so afraid of even giving me anything. I got a Gravol shot for the nausea by insisting they treat that too. The final thing they gave me was Demerol which I didn't particularily want. Fine, if you don't move but when I was driven home after the farce, I fought not to vomit in my friend's car. As soon as I got home, I threw up repeatedly & the pain wasn't even diminished. It lasted another 3 days! As you can understand I'd rather treat pain (unless broken limbs) at home. I can do better myself.
Talk to you later - I've a number of things to do today.
