Answer!!!!  It is just a headache, silly.  I was in the ER. with what appeared as a stroke the Doc wrote pain meds for the migraine.... haha it was not administered in the ER because they were transfering me to the stroke ward... they FORGOT to give it to me.   The migraine 4 hrs later was so bad that no matter how much dalatin w/atavan they gave me it was no help I was way beyond it.  But I can one up ya...   I had my meds with me so the ER docs woould know what I was on. and they  would not let me take my meds on time. They kept giving them to me 4 to 5 hours later then when I should be takinfg them. It was not the nuurses fault there it was the docs and how the hosp. gives meds. mornin, afternoon and evening. it so happened their evening was at 5 pm and mine is 9 pm.    I told my nurse that if I could not be given pain medication to releave the pain that was infliced upon me by the hospital, i was going to call a drug dealer... wow i got pain relief and my meds on time.   I also said if they could do nothing for my migraine, especially since my meds were in my bag, to stay out of my room until they could and i refused to allow anyone in. No test nothing.  They were ignoring me so I ignored them.   I asked the one Nurse who came in and HIS mother and sister suffer from migraines so he understood,   So the answer is simple, we are not dying, gushing blood, limb falling off etc, our heads just hurt. end of concept for them.  They don't SEE the injury so it can not HURT that bad.   Now if we go in with some obious trama and say the PAIN and STRESS have triggered my migraine then we will get seen faster and give better treatment.   I have actually REFUSED treatment and pain medication for my migraine in the ER by saying yes it has triggered  my migraine but I don't want that treated at this time but if it becomes a issues i WILL let you know.  Then I can't seem to get rid of the dang nurses asking about my head..... but if i am there for the head i am in the hallway with no one around.....   go figure.... they need to SEE the source of PAIN ....
