Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am assuming you were talking about me when I suggested telling the ER that she had chest pain?I did not mean to " pretend " she was having a heart problem,I believe she said her chest was hurting due to whatever was going on with her lungs.I would never lie to anyone about something that serious or anything else for that matter.I simply did not know if she mentioned that her chest hurt.Also I think it depends on where you live and how your hospital ER works.Whenever I am having a bad flare and literally cannot move without involuntarily yelling,I have always gone to the ER and said I have Stills Disease,which is on record there they usually call my doc and he tells them what to give me.I know at times reaching your doc is nearly impossible,but the hospitals have no problem.I am sorry if my post was misunderstood.Please do what your Rheumatologist recommends.If you don't have one,your hospital can give you a list of them in your area.Again,so sorry if you thought I meant you should lie.
