Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Jai, I agree with you 100%, but I was told that by the ER doctor, the last time I went and Mom was my witness! I was even having breathing problems then. When I questioned the CT scan and said it would make more sense to do an MRI that is when all hell broke loose. I was also there for 4 or 5 hours and barely saw anyone! I am waiting until tomorrow when I go to the neurologist and have my EMG done! I am not doing that much, and know that I should go to the ER, but nothing will get done and why should I become more stressed and waist my day. At least I know that my neurologist is affiliated with a really good hospital and if need be I will stay there. Moms home from vacation now, so she can watch my babys for me. I am glad that you wrote and hope all is well with you. Please Take Care of Yourself and will let you know what happens tomorrow when I see my doctor. LOL Always! Dawn P.S. You know I think I may be motivated to write a letter to the hospital complaining about the emergency department there! Why should they get away with how they treat patients!!!!! Thanks Jai you have motivated me today! jaismonkey@... wrote: In a message dated 9/18/04 11:14:22 AM Pacific Daylight Time, RSD-CRPSofAmerica writes: According to the idiot doctor in the emergency room. MS is not an emergency and you should not go there for that. If you have numbness it could be a sign of a stroke, and that would be an emergency. So I guess going paralyzed is not important! I am in such a bad way right now, all I can say is good thing I do not own a gun! Hi ,This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!!! I am an RN and have taken care of many MS patients. (my sister has MS too) MS is a nervous system disorder with demyelination of the nerves. Without the myelin the nerve does not fire to the next, hence no feeling or movement below the affected area. What if this is affecting the nerves of the lungs? Is that a medical emergency? I guess so we all need to BREATHE!!!!!!!There are treatments out there to slow the progression of the demyelination and you need them at first signs of a problem. I would not walk but RUN to the nearest hospital!!! I am praying you get the treatment that you need desperately!!!!! Please take care, Love Jai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 , I hope your foot is doing better today. I read your post and said OUCH! We are having beautiful weather here in NJ, and I think you are in MD, too. Try to enjoy a little of it. I am always amazed at how sitting in the sun on a warm day can make me feel so much better. (though, unfortunately, I have to be in the office all day). Hugs, Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 , If you were born and raised in the south, you ARE southern, not northern even though you now live in the north....my mom corrected me on that years ago when a friend of hers asked her the same question.... ~Chrissy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
