I laughed SO HARD when you tried to explain the POTS to the nurse!! LOL! I just could not stop laughing. Great imitation, and you totally brightened my day! Thanks Kyli!

So glad it made you laugh! I'm not sure how I stayed so serious...it really is funny (though its never funny while you're going through it right? LOL)

Oh my GOSH. When you got to the part where you had to explain POTS to the nurses I was rolling! That was so hilarious!!!! Oh my goodness, I love your imitations, they crack me up. On a more serius note, everything you talked about has been exactly my experience. I absolutely HATE the ER, and to be honest there have been times where I thought I was going to die in my sleep but I just avoided the ER anyway. A tip I got from a nurse is, try to go around 3-4AM and there will be way less people.

So glad it made you laugh!! Youre right, 3-4 AM is a good time,...the problem is it's even more exhausting! lol. I've done the same thing...avoided the ER at all costs. Sometimes just being there makes me feel sicker!

This was a great video! I don't like going to hospitals at all..at least with my experiences, the people there just don't seem to care or be that helpful at all.

I recently went to pick up papers & the receptionist (who didn't even look up at us while she was talking) told my mom and I to go a totally different way than we were supposed to go & we ended up going in circles trying to find the right area. I ended up having to go back another day for them because I was so dizzy and exhausted.

Oh that's awful! What an exhausting day. You're right though - there are good people out there. I wish more of them worked in hospitals! LOL. I'm going to share a story soon though...about an amazing hospital employee I met who proved that they're not all so bad. :)

lol I always get "dysautonomia? whats that? i'm going to have to look that up!"

and I usually get the med student, "wow you're the most interesting case I've had, I'm really glad you were on my schedule"

resident: ok so we'll just do the usual? squeeze my fingers. oh, wow. nothing? mkay...push down on my hands w ur feet.

This is so true! The worst was the night before Halloween when everyone was in zombie makeup, kids with swine flu, ended up waiting for 8 hours, had a Dr. who told me he couldn't help my chest and arm pain because he only dealt with gun shot wounds, had a nurse who left in the middle of an exam to go on break, and they left my IV bag for an hour because they messed up on someone's labs. It was a good night.

I would put money that the husband and wife fighting was me and my man. Lol lol Urgent Care is my friend. I love them.....they are so good to me.
