Mary Jane 118/365
Spent the evening in the emergency room......took a Sunday afternoon nap
and when I woke up, my head was exploding with pain. Nathan took my blood
pressure and it was 160/110 so off to the emergency room we go.....I felt
like i was going to throw up while we were on the way which really scared
him so we went straight to the fire station where our neighbor is a
fireman. David got me all fixed up in the ambulance and off we went. I
cried. I was scared. Was afraid I was going to have a heart attack and
die. They suspect I had a migraine (never had one of those!) which caused
my blood pressure to go up so high. Once the pain was under control, my
blood pressure went back down. Not a fun night. But i would love to have
some more of that Dilaudid. That was some good shit. Pain gone in 5, 4, 3,
2, 1....

How frightening! Glad you had people there to help you. Did they schedule you for followups with your doctor?
Scary scenario and glad you are okay. Impressed that you thought of bringing your camera along and recording the scene.
OMG how terrible MJ! Thank God Nathan was there to help you. I hope this is just an isolated thing. Feel better soon.
Yeah, i am pretty sure it was an isolated thing. I'm calling my doc to schedule a physical so I'm on the right track. :) Thanks to you my friends for being concerned.
This happened to me too Mary Jane, before Eli was conceived. I spent a month with that pain, they thought I had blood clots and I couldn't speak except in gibberish. My inflections were correct but the words were all nonsense. I remember the first day I went to the ER for it I laid on the bathroom floor of the ER waiting room bathroom with my cheek pressed against the base of the toilet for coolness, it was all the energy I had to lift my mouth to the bowl to vomit every couple of minutes until they called me in. I thought I was dying.
I hope this never happens to you again, the pain is beyond words.
Migraines can be HORRIBLE! I've had some that were mild and some that landed me in the ER - I'm glad you're feeling better now!
Yup....worst headache you even felt in your like and feel like puking? Sounds like a migraine to me. I always tell people, until you have one you have no idea. I only get few a year but when I get one I'm down for the count! Hope you are feeling better soon....
very scary! Glad you got it figured out so quickly and are doing the follow up!
Boy do I understand. The first one I got - I was sure I was having a Stroke since the vision in my left eye had gone about 3/4ths of the way out.
I get maybe one a year, sometimes less - But really - until you have had one, you just can't know. Let's hope this was an isolated incident!
Ugh. Late to post on this, but glad it was "just" a migraine and not a heart attack. Hope you never have another one. They are no fun.
