o2. Pancreatitis?

So I seriously feel as though I'm having another flare-up of my chronic pancreatitis unfortunately. However, the even worse thing is that the ER doctors don't take me seriously, especially since it's CHRONIC pancreatitis & the levels in the bloodwork don't change to show anything. If it was regular pancreatitis, the Lipase & Amylase would go up; however, with chronic pancreatitis, there can be no change in bloodwork & it just goes by symptoms. Well I've dealt with it enough times to know how it feels generally, especially the difference between when my stomach will just hurt one day, go to the ER, get pain meds, & feel better compared to when my stomach hurts with EVERYTHING I eat & even when I don't eat, when I wake up with pain without eating, etc. Because generally only certain things make my stomach hurt but lately EVERYTHING makes my stomach hurt & my stomach hurts even when I don't eat & I've been just waking up with stomach pain before I've even eaten anything. Plus I've been a lot more nauseous as well. I need to be admitted to the hospital to get over it, but that's the hard part. The ER doctors don't take me seriously, especially with no bloodwork proof, & say there's nothing to prove that I need to be admitted & won't admit me. Well, when I don't get better & have to keep coming to the ER, then they get pissed off & don't want to treat me either, so what the hell am I supposed to do then!?! I called my primary doctor & asked if she does direct admits but she won't be able to see me until Monday. Thanks. That helps. Ugh, why does everything have to be so difficult? I miss the days when everything first started kinda because things were somewhat easier because I hadn't been to the ER as much & they were somewhat more willing to treat me. However on the otherhand, they also weren't willing to treat me in some ways because I had no diagnoses so they said they had nothing to treat. But that's funny though because now that I have a whole list of diagnoses, they still don't believe there's anything to treat just because a lot of the things show up on bloodwork when I'm in severe pain. That's really fucking stupid. Migraines don't show up for bloodwork but people go to the ER for those. I have gone to the ER for migraines & they don't treat me the same as when I go for my stomach, that's for sure. I think that's funny though because you can't see a migraine in bloodwork, on an x-ray, on a CT scan, on ANYTHING - yet they're willing to treat that. Why? I have no idea. However when I've had tests to prove some of the things I have, they don't want to treat it just because it doesn't show up on the bloodwork they do at the ER. SO FUCKING STUPID.

Also, I always throw up & pass out whenever I have this severe stomach pain. Well generally I finish vomiting at home before I get to the ER, but I have thrown up at the ER MANY times & I definitely have passed out at the ER all the time. Well the other day when I went to the Free Standing for Mary Washington & saw this one doctor who actually used to be very nice to me, he told me he has never seen me vomit or pass out. BULLSHIT. He may not have ever seen me pass out, but the nurses in triage have seen me pass out a LOT. They have put the amonia that is incredibly strong & incredibly annoying in front of my nose, & sometimes even UP my nose, to wake me up. Also even one time they threatened to cut off my clothes apparently (my mom told me this) if I didn't wake up by the time I got to the back. Yeah, okay, nobody's seen me pass out! :rolls eyes: Also, I KNOW he's seen me vomit because I know one of the first times he saw me I was throwing up. So just because he's old & has bad memory or maybe even WANTS to forget, doesn't mean I never have. Unfortunately I wasn't quick to think of all of the things above to say because I was so pissed off though. Also plenty of other doctors & nurses have seen me throw up as well. I actually had a time where I came to the ER only because of throwing up & not for pain, so that's kinda funny as well. They just want to say these things to make me seem like I'm making up shit to get pain meds, which is incredibly stupid. It just pisses me off.

I have to go to the ER yet again today & I'm hoping it goes smoothly & I don't have to go to more than one ER. I hope just going to the first one goes well & we don't have to get into any arguments or lectures & they'll just be nice & all that. It'd be really nice though if they took me seriously about the pancreatitis thing, but I'm not counting on it. I guess we'll see how it goes...
