I vomited in the exam room and passed out. I think they finally realized I wasn’t kidding.
What did they do when you passed out?
I thought I was going to pass out on the drive home. I should not have driven home. I didn’t make proper transportation arrangements because I didn’t know what to realistically expect. I have no idea how I got home.
A nurse waited with me until I came around and basically treated me for shock. I had orange juice and some sort of crackers and a blanket until I stopped shaking. They had me get up VERY slowly to make sure I didn’t get dizzy or throw up again. Eventually I was able to get dressed and drive myself home. Spent the rest of the day curled up on the couch with a blanket and hot water bottle sipping tea. It totally sucked.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
Thank you. I’m sorry it happens to anyone. There’s truly no reason it should.
