    Did it again... I hate being the patient!

    Sunday update: Went to ER yesterday evening, I couldn't stand the pain anymore. Diagnosis: SOLUMEDROL ALLERGY! Apparently the steroids they injected into my backside are inflaming the bones/nerves. Just as I thought. So, new allergy on the list, at minimum never into a muscle again, only...

    Ummm, Mahonri- with a headache like that you're probably ready for a CT scan. If you are vomiting at all, or still feel crappy tomorrow then you should go to the ER. (listen to me, can't think for myself but still giving advice.) Hope you feel better soon- OUCH!

    I didn't tell the staff that I was an emergency nurse right off, I like them to feel comfortable around me so they can make the right decisions... The problem is I am stubborn and a terrible patient. I HATE epinephrine and will suffer quite a bit to avoid it- plus they have to watch you for...

    Soo, I took my daughter up to my sister's for a sleepover and we all went out to the new Sonic in her town. I haven't been to a sonic since we lived in So Cal. We ordered our burgers, my daughter ordered a hot fudge malt and I ordered a plain chocolate malt. The kicker is I am allergic to...
