    Oh, so true!
    I suppose I would understand if I didn’t know how severe my headaches are being put on the back burner. After all, I don’t have blood gushing out of a wound, I’m not an infant who’s choked on a toy, an elderly person suffering heart attack or stroke…you get my drift.
    But then you do get to see someone. I find myself usually in a back treatment room for long periods of time and little or no sympathy from condescending doctors and nurses who think I have no better place to go than my local ER on a drug seeking run!
    I tell them what works for me, (usually) and they say we don’t do that here or we don’t have that in our pharmacy. Would you like to try something similar? Well, actually, NO! But by then I am so worn out from the Migraine and the hospital shuffle, I’d rather go home and just throw-up and hit my head against the wall for the next 24-36 hours. And then be a walking zombie for at least two days after the Migraine’s gone.
    Best experience I ever had. An ER doctor who was himself a Migraine sufferer.

    I have ketorolac injections at home. If you know they work, push, push, push to have them at home for self administraqtion.
    Save time making the med work better and faster. Save money and time by not needing to visit the ER. It really is a win win for the patient and medical community.
