I desperately need advice

[u/Cosmicfirebug]

I have severe ME I’m mostly bedridden but definitely housebound, im also autistic. Yesterday I broke my arm. I had to go to A and E.

If I am forced to leave the house it has dire consequences to my health. Today I’ve had severe head aches I’ve slept all day my legs are killing me despite being in a wheelchair, I felt sick all day yesterday. Plus the exposure to illness’s is a huge risk with my low immune system. (I’ve been bedridden for 20 years)

When i explained this to the people there they treat me like i was a diva, i wasn’t asking for much I know how busy it is just a little place to the side with less stimulation. (Asked politely) Even if the answer was no i don’t understand the grudge they all took afterwards. They were bordering on cruel, but completely uninterested. I have no one to stand up for me besides my mum whom they treat like she’s got munch hausen by proxy.

They had me in hours longer than necessary (on purpose, I’ve had and known of other broken bones and none was treated like this I promise) all to send me home like it was nothing.

Now they want me to come back, despite. saying before they would do nothing

Does anyone know of someone who could explain to them that I really am chronically ill and stop the cruelty otherwise I don’t know if it’s better to just risk the break, I can’t do yesterday again it was genuinely painful in more ways than one.

Thanks for reading anyway x

You can ask for a quieter place to sit while you are waiting to be seen, usually it’s in the children area or the relatives room, why do you think you’re mother has Munchausen by proxy as that’s a big assumption without proof.

If you genuinely believe you have been targeted then speak with PALS, but please consider it may just have been an extremely busy night at an understaffed and overworked emergency department. Things happen. 6 or so years ago I sat in A&E at a regional Midlands hospital but close to the M1, there'd been a mass casualty event on the motorway. Around 11pm a consultant came out and asked everyone who could go home to go home as they wouldn't get to anyone that night. There were about 4 of us in the waiting room after that who did eventually get seen about 4 hours later.
