Emergency! Emergency!

Today I spent 3 1/2 hours in the emergency room.

About a week ago I started getting random sharp pains in my left temple. They would last about 5 seconds and would happen a few times a day. I didn't think too much about it, but I made sure to keep aware of my body. Through out the week the pain continued, and started happening more and more often. This morning the pain went from happening every hour or so to every couple minutes. Intense pain that left pressure on the left side of my head, gave me tunnel vision, and made me feel really out of it.
Concerned it may be a swollen vein in my head- something that can happen with my buttface of a disease, I decided to call around and get in with a doctor. I made a lot of calls. Some docs wouldn't accept my insurance, some docs didn't have time, some docs didn't have a clue about my disease, and all of them wouldn't take me in as a new patient for at lease a month. Scared out of my mind (I literally thought I might have a stroke) I had Will take me to the emergency room.
I was taken in right away, given an IV and had blood taken. I was then wheeled around and given a CT scan. I spent the next two hours waiting for my results with Will. We played games and listened for the lullaby over the speakers (every time a baby is born they play a lullaby over the entire hospital! It was so cute! Four babies were born while I was there).
Finally, the doctor came back and said my results were clear. I was discharged with a "headache" and referred to a rheumatologist.
Though my doctor said I was justified with my concern, especially with my disease, I still feel like a chump every time I have to see a doctor, and especially every time I admit myself into the ER. I worry because most symptoms of my disease are odd and don't seem connected, they have no pattern and are just straight up confusing. But at the same time, I HATE laying on a bed surrounded by people that REALLY have it rough. It makes me feel like a whiner.

Eh, better safe than sorry I guess.
