Girl... I totally understand avoiding the hospital. Just go, hun. Just go. We've got to stop waiting until we're at death's door to go and then end up having to get emergency surgery or some crap. Go babe. Go.
You are not alone either. My boyfriend’s sister just had something very similar happen and had to go to the ER. It sucks. She also struggles with chronic illness. The list of her problems are unending. But she’s a fighter and she’s rocking on. The lord sees your hard and even when you’re not strong enough to fight for yourself HES FIGHTING FOR YOU‼️‼️
Take a voice recorder with you. Tell them you are recording what they say because you need to so you don't forget what they tell you. Its amazing how much more responsive and proactive they will act. They will hate it, but so what. If I could successfully use this at the VA, this will work for you at the ER, too.
Ugh that was me today. Woke up at 5am feeling like I was gonna throw up from bilateral shoulder pain. Absolutely do NOT want to go to the fucking ER. Spent all day skulking around miserable.
Yup, chronically ill folks will avoid the ER because we never get treated the same. People act like we're too young to be disabled or we're just drug seeking or something. Not being taken seriously by medical staff sucks. I hope you get the care you need, best of luck 🫂 you aren't alone
I will never understand the pain. Bloating, nausea, everything I can wrap my head around, except the pain. It doesn't even feel like it's related bc it's such an indescribable feeling. The only thing that helps me with that is cannabis but I know that's not an option for everyone bc it can slow motility even more, or accessibility can be a problem. I really hope you feel better. 💚💚💚
Oh honey, sending hugs and support your way ❤ When I was pregnant, I had such bad morning sickness that I vomitted my way to major esophageal damage. I put off going to the ER for my pain and trouble swallowing - felt like something was stuck in my throat constantly - until I started throwing up blood. That freaked me out enough to go. They put me on Famotodine to supress my stomach acid production for the rest of my pregnancy. If I missed a dose, I felt it. Icky.
I have been dealing with medical issues for YEARS Dr's keep gaslighting me. I have no immunodeficiency. SiBO. Hyperkinetic gallbladder at 91. And horrible gastroparesis . Bit Noone wants to get to the bottom of it or fix it. See GS next week hopefully I can start this journey to a better managed life. Found your video been binge watching them all. You give me hope. *no clue if you will see this sinces it is an old video* but thank you! ❤
Oh Lindsay I feel for you girl. I hate to go to the ER. I really hope that you get your vomiting spells under control. I'm just letting you know that I love you❤ your channel is my favorite sending healing hugs in spoons from one chronic illness warrior 🪖 to u
Sweet girl I am so sorry that you have to deal with this. My daughter has a chronic illness also and I just hate this for us. I hope and pray that you are feeling better soon.
Oh honey...I've been there so many times. It's gotten to the point where I will NOT go unless I am completely unresponsive and can't refuse. They don't even treat me like a person when I'm there - if they're not actively blaming me for my illness/accusing me of attention seeking they're neglecting me and exacerbating my health issues and I come out worse than I went in. I hope you start to feel better and don't have to go<3
I know exactly what you are talking about. If “normal” people would understand the pain we are going through; they would be running to the ER. I’m gonna pray for you right now because even though prayers have never worked for me personally; I still for some reason believe that prayer works. I just believe there’s a God out there because of universal fine-tuning theory and the words of Jesus Christ hit the soul so hard that God has to exist. But anyway, not gonna get into that, gonna say a prayer for you right now.
I am so very sorry beautiful! I completely understand what you are saying because I too have chronic illnesses and I absolutely dread going to the emergency room. I know that this is hard decision for you, but you need to do what is best for you and your health. Love and hugs headed your way. Next Thursday I am having a lengthy major surgery to fix my upper extremity deformity that I have been struggling with for so long and then will be at a rehab center for a few weeks or more. You are loved, strong, and such an inspiration. You've got this.
I hope you were able to treat it at home or that you can get safely to the ER and have a positive experience. With my kidney disease, migraines and bad hip I hate going to the ER- they're just not set up to actually treat chronic illness and it's so frustrating
Oh Lindsay, I felt this in my soul. I empathize so much with what you're going through, I just went through the same thing just the other week. Take it a moment at a time, and know that you will make it through. Sending spoons 🥄🥄🥄 and support 💖💖💖
Big hug. It’s going to get better. You’re capable of surviving. You know what’s best for you, so don’t let anybody (including yourself) gaslight you into thinking you’re not going to be okay. Lots of love.
You’re not alone ❤ I’ve been having super bad back pain recently and it’s been severely impacting me with school and I don’t think I’ll be able to go tomorrow and will probably have to go to the er or urgent care and I’m terrified that they’re not going to listen but it’s my only chance at this point. Praying for you and sending hugs and spoons <3
Oh girl. I feel for you. I have eds, pots and mcas and it's always such a battle between physical needs and gaining more ptsd and mental trauma at the ER. I hope it goes away quickly for you. ❤
Omg Lindsay, I'm so sorry. The psychological distress of dealing with people who don't understand and you have to explain and watch judgey faces ( some people) and frustrating conversations...has traumatized you. I can tell tell you're in excruciating pain. Is there some way they can fix it at home? You might just to have to bite the bullet and get it over and done with. 🐈 You need to get pain relief at least! ❤❤❤
I’m on the verge of tears… I can’t imagine what you must be going through, I’m so sorry whatever you need we’re all here for you you support us when we’re having hard times so we’ll support you now. Sending hugs and spoons 💚🥄
Lindsay or whoever needs to hear it, I trust you to make the best decision for your health. You know your body best and I know it’s hard but take care of it, everyone here will understand and be supportive ❤
I can relate sis, this is why I've always made art to bring awarness to mental health,disability and even societal issues. hopefully anyone who sees my art or hears my story feels seen an supported knowing they're never struggling alone💜🥄
