It is 4:30 a.m. and I just got back from the emergency room. I am not a happy camper either. The doctor did not even check my throat as I can barely swallow. He only checked my lungs and heart with the stesacope. sp? I just took my psych meds so chances are I will sleep most of today. I plan on calling my doctor tomorrow and he'll probably have me come in Tuesday hopefully. I had a real bad pain in my chest and was chocking on the sinus drainage last night. I am not getting better with my chest pain, my bowel problem, and I cannot function on all the pysch meds along with all the allergy pills I am suppose to take. The doctor today told me to take the 24 hour allergy pills in the morning and benedryl at night. I have been feeling like a zombie way too long due to these allergies already that when I take the benedryl I will not be able to function at all hardly.

Oh Dear.
I am sorry to hear this. I hope that you can get into your dr's office soon. Maybe you can get in today/Monday.
Be a zombie and sleep. The benadryl will help the breathing and such, right?
I wish that the ER doc had made you feel better. Geesh.

oh rats...how are you feeling now? I am so glad you went to the emergency room but somehow I think they could have given you a more thorough examination. It is tough enough to be bipolar but when you have other things on top of it it is almost unbearable. I hope you are peacefully napping now.
Sending my very best wishes and thoughts that this too shall pass.

Dear Barbara,
I too wish that you were given something to help. I hate it and know that is miserable when you have a sore throat, let alone the chest pain...did they seem to think that was cardiac or muscles or anxiety?
sorry that you are sick...not fun.

I hope you are feeling better today. I sure hope you can get in touch with your regular doctor today too.

Take it easy.

Hugs, Nikko

Thanks everyone.

I felt better after being at the emergency room for hours but woke up today with the pain in my shoulder/chest area if that explains it good enough. All the doc said in the emergency room was to take the benedryl. One of the nurses there was making fun of me as if my pain was no big deal saying, "heck, I've got shoulder pain myself." I'm gonna report them from last night because they even did another patient common by ingnoring him when he called out for help.

i have an appt. with my primary care doc at 4 EST today.
