Please can someone help me. Im in so much pain and I dont know what to do.

[spookycharlotte121]

I have had horrible pains all day..... they feel like periiod pains. As the day has progressed they have been getting worse and worse.

Nurofen isnt touching it. Im totally exhausted by it and just want to sleep. Im sat here crying because I dont know what to do. I took painkillers nearly an hour ago anf they just arent working and I just want to sleep.

tell her that as a person presenting with chronic ep symptoms, the hospital is the PERFECT place for her and so she can't possibly be in the way. and tell her sister to take no shit.

hope all goes well this is disgusting treatment though

don't think her mum is taking too much shit from the sounds of things, she's fed up and wants to go home, have told her to stay and make sure that they do the scan, and investigate properly AND make sure she understands what they've checked for any how etc.

the effect of a bad dp just goes so much further than you'd think possible, doesn't it? i do wish she could value herself more.

it does indeed Aitch >

Cant read posts can only write them. Totally fucked off now. I want to go home. Noone gives a shit. Tired of it all. Sat here crying coz i have had enough. I wish i had stayed at home.

aye, well i could kick your arse too.

oooh, horrible x-post, sorry.

oh Aitch - please don't kick my arse, I had a full on panic attack on that neighbours thread just over a week ago, previously only had mild ones on and off.

Toccata
please send her a text to say that so many MNetters are thinking of her, and sending her strength.

And sending big nasty boil on bum vibes to the doctor for making her feel so bad.

spooky, has your sister leant over the desk and said loudly 'SHE HAS ALL THE CLASSIC SIGNS OF ECTOPIC PREGNANCY AND AS GOD IS MY WITNESS I WILL SUE THE ARSE OFF THIS HOSPITAL IF YOU DON'T ATTEND TO HER RIGHT NOW'.

they've stuff in her a room and left her basically, said it's not an eptopic, not doing a scan.............

based on what? how do they know it's not an ectopic? this is NUTS. (i mean they might be right, of course, but it's quite a risk to take).

I am aghast that they are not taking this seriously.

They have made up their minds, despite the symptoms that she has, that it cannot be an ep.

Agree with AitchTwoZone, get her sister to say that to the staff!!

I have just read this thread, spookycharlotte.

I have no experience of ectopic pregnancies, but have been in the position of sitting in a hospital for hours, terrified, bleeding and in pain, waiting for a scan, and for someone who knew what the fuck was going on to take me seriously.

It is very hard (and unfair) to have to fight your corner when you are in such a vulnerable position.

Thinking of you, and really hoping that things get sorted for you tonight.

Is there another hospital she can go to???

i don't get why they wont just scan her - it not hard and would rule it out. When i had bleeding with DD1 even though i'd had an earlier scan showing baby in the right place they insisted on doing a second scan to check for an EP.

oh I'm so angry for her - just rang and spoke to her, they've basicallly taken her blood pressure, and sat her in a room, saying it's not eptopic - think based on the HCG levels or whatever it was she posted to say they'd done earlier (sorry am totally not clued up about these things being more of a "moral" support than any source of information).

She hasn't even been given any pain relief as they're waiting for the Dr........although I told her to march out and demand something and she did say she'd go.

I gave her the - you said you wanted to put your 2 DC first, that's fine, but if this was them, you wouldn't just take no for an answer, especially if they had symptoms of something that could be fatal, and she wouldn't be much good to them is she doesn't fight for herself now,........as by fighting for herself she's fighting for them

and after all this, we'll help you get a complaint in via PALS...

I know she's in the SW - Bristol area I think... I wonder what hospitals there are around there?

Well done, Toccata.

Once she has been seen and treated, I think we should do a mass email to the hospital. Bloody ridiculous that she is being left in pain, terrified to death.

With my ectopic, I had:
1 sided abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, low HcG but +ve pregnancy test, shoulder-tip pain, especially when breathing (!)

I didn't have a scan - after admission I was left in a cubicle in the casualty department - luckily with an O2 sats monitor on - when I dropped unconscious due to internal bleeding that is what alerted them to my need for rescuscitation (sp?). I came to with the crash team surrounding me, 4 cannulas in situ and a sea of very anxious faces trying to stabilise my crashing blood pressure. I was in theatre within 15 minutes.

SC, you are in the right place and I hope you get the care you deserve soon.

and Aitch yes I know what I said to her was totally hypocritical of me given that I probably wouldn't be much better but I'm better at giving advice such as that to other people than taking it myself......

This is absolutely ridiculous - someone presenting with many symptoms of an EP and they're doing shit all about it? [angy] x million.

Anyone else up for ringing the hospital en masse just to prove a point? (I know this would be a Bad Thing as it would tie up thier phone lines etc) It's just I have read this thread today and now starting to worry about her.

A simple scan would rule this all out!

Charlotte, wish one of us could come down and kick ass for you.
