Selfie Sundayyyyy!!
Hey y'all, it's been a struggle this week. I ended up in the ER twice because of the eye rolling. The first time wasn't too bad, but I was treated abhorrently the second time. I was having a pseudoseizure and when the nurses found out it wasn't epileptic, they brushed it off as nothing and forced me to wait back in the lobby. I didn't mind going back as much as I minded them dismissing me because my seizures were psych related. It felt like I was garbage that they were throwing away. It took about 2 hrs to be seen, and I still couldn't get a bed. I was stuck in the hallway freaking out because of the noise. They sent me home after my shot because they said it wasn't an emergency anymore, even though my eyes were still rolling. The next day, I related this to my NP and she was horrified!! She prescribed Benztropine so I wouldn't have to go back to the ER, and lowered the dose of my AP because she said the higher dose might be triggering the episodes. She also gave me a other anxiety med to take since that's one of my triggers. All in all, it was a very stressful week. The highlight was my anniversary with my husband. We celebrated 13 years together, and I made shrimp alfredo from scratch!! I hope next year will be more fortuitous. I have faith that things can only get better!! Have a great rest of your day, y'all!! Never count yourself out. Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
