Went to ER today University of Colorado Fitzsimmons . Head pain so bad I wanted to die. Was given high dosage of diolated and valium , Soon my head pain returned full force. Told doc, she said she couldn't believe it. Pulled my iv told me to call my neuologist and go home. I told them my pain was not managed, They said well we can try another med, if you'd like. But, there's still time you can call your neuologist. So, I left. They never even gave me a nerological exam, they just checked my vitals. I called my neurologist when I got home. He changed my lyrica, to every 8 hours cause that's when I feel it wearing off. He also told me to write to the hospital administrator about my experience. I called the patient advocate and left a message, she supposed to call me tomorrow. Doc also talked again about surgery. Last thing I want. He also said may change meds to different ones. Second opinion doc told me my choice was severing nerve, like yeah I'd want to do that, not. Does the MVD work. I've read about endoscopic stuff at cedar sinai, anyone have that and was it as sucessful as they candy coat it? Can anyone give me some standards I should expect from an ER or are they hopeless. Rose Medical Center here has always been so good to me, I just thought I'd try the new hospital since it's so close to home. Big mistake. never go there again. Any suggestions?
