Edit: I just got my bloodwork back and my white blood cells are very high indicating an infection. Covid, flu and pregnancy tests are all negative. So I was correct about the mastitis and if they don’t give me antibiotics I will have them document refusing to treat me for it. Mastitis can lead to an abscess and sepsis if left untreated.
I have 3 kids ages 5, 3 and almost 1. I’ve been weaning my baby because she isn’t reacting well to my medications and I woke up this morning with mastitis. I’ve been a mom either breastfeeding or pregnant for 5.5 years, I know what mastitis feels like.
They were more than willing to get to the bottom of it until they found out I’m bipolar (I had to give them my medications list) and now they’re saying my symptoms are likely from something else. Pregnancy (my husband had a vasectomy), Covid or the flu.
My breast is extremely red and swollen and it hurts so bad. I have chills, nausea, vomiting, and a headache. They’re just giving me Tylenol and Zofran. I’m so frustrated
They even said “I don’t mean to offend but is the Caplyta for bipolar? Are you panicking right now?”
I want to cry
I'm genuinely terrified to advocate for myself because I fear they'll think I'm having and episode or getting irrational put me on a psych hold again. I'm looking at some debt I have now and it's from the hospital. I went in for really high blood pressure and chest pain and was somehow kept because a nurse asked a police officer (I was not even brought in by ambulance, I was brought by my ex to urgent care) if I should be put on emergency hold because I was "seeing fairies". If they looked at my chart FOR THEIR HOSPITAL they would see it was brought up to my psych doctor and that I explained "I know they aren't fairies but an anime I watched matches what I'm seeing, except the little balls of light were actually fairies but that scene is the best way to explain to someone what I'm seeing exactly. It's like that, just floating white dots"... And a note for me to see my optometrist because it had been 2 years. I see them a couple months after that forced stay and low and behold the random white dots stop.
But now I have medical debt because my insurance didn't cover that or the many tests they did that had nothing to do with why I came in there and everything to do with checking to see if my psychiatrist of 4 years never noticed I had schizophrenia... I don't. I don't have any hallucinations beyond a reaction I had to a med that was quickly changed. Now I'm terrified of even going to the hospital for something at all. Have a seizure and hit my head. I don't go. I think I broke something. I don't go. I have multiple dislocations because of my hEDS. I don't go. If I'm not physically forced to go by EMT, I don't go. I'm scared that because I'm by myself I'll be forced to stay for some psychiatric reason and they may even take my son or something.

Did you request to file a report on the others? Because I can't imagine them continuing to treat others like that. It's a pain but I file a report every time I get mistreated because of discrimination in the hopes that they'll either find a job more suited for their bias or cut that shit out.
