| - Went here during my lunch break (due to close proximity) and will never, ever EVER go back. Ever. This was 2 or 3 months ago, maybe?
You see, I had a headache that would not flee my cabeza, despite Aleve, Tylenol, Advil, or ice pack/rest, etc. In fact, the stubborn head pain was going on 2 full days, and I started feeling nauseous and sensitive to light, smells, sounds.
I also started to see tiny little stars if I moved my head "too fast" which in reality, was barely moving.
I consulted Google on all of this. Google results yielded signs pointing at a migraine. Migraine? This would explain the OTC-resistant pain.
So, I drove my myself over to the clinic (donning sunglasses because even sun behind clouds was way too bright). I only wait 10-15 minutes in their waiting room which was smelled of a very strong and aggressive Pine-Sol. Or, maybe the cheap, Mexican brand, Fabuloso. Anyways, the overly-dominant scent angered my head pain further. I slumped down further in the pleather chair and scowled.
I go back to a room, and the PA knocks and walks in. I can't remember her name, but her overall body language and tone of voice wasn't appreciated by me, bc I felt like she didn't believe me.
She asked me questions regarding symptoms of migraines. Some I had, some I didn't and I told her so. I mean, why would I be untruthful? What's the point? Maybe she didn't like the fact I didn't happen to have all symptoms of the classic migraine, and therefore concluded that I must be a drug seeker that is wasting her time!! As the questioning increased, I started feeling like a meth-head or heroin junkie sitting there. It was almost like when I told her I did have a certain symptom and further elaborated on small details, she wanted to ask, "Are you sure?". I didn't like feeling uncomfortable and honestly almost got up and left - even though my head hurt so bad. But, I did stay and kept telling myself that it shouldn't be much longer.
Fast fwd about 20-30 minutes, prescription for Imitrex in hand and $30 copay coughed out, I flew the coop fast. And will not be returning.
**NOTE: I am convinced that I did have a migraine truly, as my headache vanished within 15 min of swallowing an Imitrex.
