I've been to the ER a total of 4 times since being dxed in April. 2 times were because of the first MS hugs I've ever had - the last 2 times were chest pains. the last 2 times were the worse times that I've been treated - all I was given was lortab and tramadol after the xrays and ekgs. i just do not understand why they are so mean - the last ER doctor told me to DEAL with it - don't they understand that pain that I'm in?!??!?!? Don't they understand that it was an emergency for me - that is why I was even there!!!!!!!!!!

the hospital might have state of the art equipment, but they don't have state of the art employees! I hurt every single day - I don't want to keep going to the ER because of pain - I had to fire my neuro because he didn't help me with the pain, telling me to go to pain speciallist, and i've heard bad things about them!

Maybe I can try to go to a different ER but its an hour away, and my appt for hte MS Center is aug 19th - I really hope they will help me when the time comes - I have kept a log since Feb 2013 when it all started to go down hill and I thank God that I kept up with me, noting every symptom, every bad feeling, etc....

I only go to the ER if I'm hurting badly and nothing else has helped. I wish they were more caring, and did more tests.
