So what is this about a high pain tolerance?

@Jenny1234 You obviously never had a migraine, I have an older stepsister that gets them, her Dr prescribed her battle morphine, they're little ampule shots she administers herself when she gets them. She had told me that her head feels like a giant is squeezing her head and it feels like it's going to pop at any second.

@NativePortlander1970 I have suffered endlessly from migraines since I was 19. I would spend days at a time in bed with the curtains closed and the lights off and countless days I’ve gone home from work early and I don’t recall how I got home, but I have never gone to emergency for a migraine.

Emergency department is for emergencies. Once you’ve had a few migraines, you know how to deal with them or take the prescription that your doctor gave you But I do not understand why someone would hold up a spot at emergency for that,, knowing it’s not an emergency

@Jenny1234 Because a second cousin of mine was caught in time by going to the ER, she also had horrendous migraines going back to puberty, and at the age of 55 in 2011 she started brain bleeding, going there saved her life.

@NativePortlander1970 well, I suppose in her situation Was genuine emergency

@Jenny1234 My second cousin always went to the ER for demerol, the only thing that eased her migraine pain, never ASSume that just because YOU don't feel the need to go does NOT mean others should not go.
