I'm developing new symptoms & worsening ones which are literally scaring me more than usual & I'm considering driving 4 hrs to an ER close to where I'm trying to get a referral to. I went to ER local here & once again,i was the teacher, anyway,i thought I was having mini strokes, right eye & right side of mouth drooping,nonstop headache over right ear for over a, week, my BP(normally 80/50 ish) was 131/57 HR 95. CT Scan showed no signs of stroke thankfully, but dr said followup with pcp today, which I did,& he said he was used to having patients come in at Mayo (didn't even know he studied there lol) & they can't turn u away & u may not get the answers u want, but it's up to me while waiting on my referral. He's even tried calling the NS I'm waiting for referral on & he said they won't let him near him til the referral goes through. It could take a couple more weeks or longer for the ref & my symptoms are getting more frequent,more severe,& new ones starting & I'm scared this insane waiting game is gonna cost me more permanent nerve damage.....
I know it's a long drive, but I'm the only one who seems concerned enough to take,a, chance.....
Any, suggestions besides hurry up & wait or see what I can find out now... I know I won't be taken in for surg, I just need answers from someone who knows wtc is going on that I don't have to, explain what ACM is!
