It's funny when you go into an ER and say you have chest pains, but not to worry its not my heart how they still freak out. I told them my medical history with Lupus and that the lining of my lungs are inflamed, that is the reason for my chest hurting.
It also is amazing how doctors think you are a silly unknowing female, when they don't believe you. I know just as much if not more about my illness and I don't most of the time need xrays, blood work, EKG'S or anything else to tell me whats going on. I am very in tuned to my body and usually can tell you what pain is from what illness.
I hate it when you prove to the doctor you knew from the get go what was wrong and proved them wrong. Because then they talk down to you still trying to desperately hold on to their God status they cling to. All I ask is to listen to me and not to talk down to me. I very much know what is wrong with me and only need something for pain and to have it documented.
I have learned to hate the smell and sounds of a hospital for these reasons. Besides all the damn pokes from needles. My arms look like I was a drug addict from all the blood drawn to see whats wrong with me.
Now its time to rest and recover from going to the ER, lol. I hope everyone is well and may the Goddess watch over, protect and bless you all.
