Twice now I have ended up in hospital within a week of seeing my neuro. It's a li'l odd to me.
Last night I ended up at thehospital again. I'd had a day of random myoclonic jerks that kept increasing in regularity and severity. Then sitting on my loungeroom I had a series of jerks that scared me, my brother, mother and husband. For nearly 2 mins I was jerking violently with every breath. I told mum that I would need her to drive me to hospital. Next thing I know, everyone around me was trying to get my 7 year old ready to spend the night with my mum. This frustrated me because I was starting to worry about myself. My jerks had reduced to one every minute or so, so I got up and helped everyone get organised. Even so it took 20 mins to get ready and out the door. I was starting to wish I'd just called an ambulance. I got up to emergency and couldn't help but be embarrassed while I waited to be taken into triage. I was seen by a nurse who had no idea what myoclonic jerks were but at least found me a bed strait away. Eventually, about an hour since the horrible jerking started I was given 10 mg of valium twice what I was given and was left to rest. After about an hour and a half sleep I woke up feeling fine and ready to go home. I waited another hour after telling the nurses I was ready to go, I signed my self out without even seeing a doctor.
I came home and chilled for a but before going to bed.
Coincidentally, I have an appt with a new gp to look into a referral to a new neuro. I think I'll ask for a script for valium so I don't have to keep wasting the hospitals time. I am getting so sick of this crap. I'm tired sore and fuzzy. I don't want to have to go anywhere today. I don't want to do this anymore.
