~~~~~ They moved you through too fast because they were not concerned with you being there for a Migraine. If you had gone to the ER complaining of possibly having COVID-19, it would have been a different story.

~~~~~ And yes, this pandemic started in an unsanitary open meat market in China that was processing a specific species of bat and the area was contaminated within a few hours. And of course, me being me, I was curious about the fact that is seems like there is some sort of pandemic every 100 years. My research turned up the following text I shared during a family discussion: ~~~~~ Wow, there is literally a pandemic outbreak every 100 years (with the exception of Bubonic Plague aka Black Death aka The Black Plague or "The Plague" which started in Europe and Asia and devastated the world's population from 1347 to 1351, but did not end across the globe until 1750). 1300's = Black Plague 1400's and 1500's = English Sweating Sickness 1620's = Italian Plague 1720's = Bubonic Plague 1820's = Cholera Outbreak 1920's = Spanish Flu 2020's = Coronavirus Apparently other people are researching the exact same things. ~~~~~ The only thing that has changed is how fast information is shared, globally, regarding outbreaks in the 20th Century and beyond.

I'll do more symptom research for strokes on the anon; I can always ask my mom about any tests that may have been done when I was in for observation for the concussion when I was 7/8. (Maybe the pepsi I had during that night may have taken and turned into one of my migraine triggers?)

Kat, sounds like a stress migraine; I had one or two of those. And yeah, I'll do my best on letting you guys know what's up. I've had migraines for years, and most are a one day deal if I'm not quick with my otc meds. This was the second to send me to the ER (first was triggered by too much caffeine between a half pint chocolate ice cream and 20 oz bottle of coke).

~~~~~ Now, that could be due to stress as you have been under a lot of it lately.

~~~~~ I'm concerned about the symptoms in conjunction to the numbness. I understand that hospitals are handling COVID-19 cases, but it shouldn't mean that the non-infected should be overlooked because they don't appear to be on death's door. That thinking negates the Hippocratic Oath.
