Aww, I'm sorry to hear about your crappy ER experience. When I went to the ER after developing excruciating pain in my right side I just wanted pain killers because it was sunday evening but they ended up doing blood/urine tests and a CT scan.. Fortunately they found out I had a really bad UTI and a monster cyst on my right ovary (ok, they said it was small but it sure didn't feel that way).. I'm lucky they were good but I can see how explaining your situation would be tough, especially w/ male doctors!
About school... I totally understand what you're going through. It is so hard to concentrate while you're in pain let alone get out of bed and take care of yourself (for me, anyway).. I made the difficult decision to drop all of my courses ad focus on myself even though this was SUPPOSED TO BE my last semester before graduating. I am so depressed and stressed I just can't deal with it. I'm not even the same person I used to be.. It sucks, but I know that I made the right decision. If you can do it and manage then props to you but if you can't you should pause school and focus on yourself. I'm afraid I can't tell you how to cope other than get ahead when you're feeling ok and rest when you feel miserable.
Thanks for the comment and good luck on your upcomming lap. I wish I could drop out this semester but the way my parent's insurance works if I drop out they drop my coverage. So I have to stay full time even if I end up getting all F's for the semester b/c if I even drop one class I won't be full time anymore and will lose all coverage. I really hate the healthcare in the US.
