I was terrified and found the staff to be rude and abrupt, I was dizzy and fell on the floor, someone came and grabbed my arm and pulled me up and it hurt a lot, they didn't speak a word to me, later on I then asked this staff member if they had a spare self catheter as I have to self catherise - they laughed at me and said no.
Then after waiting hours for any kind of relief, I was offered an injection for anti sickness. I went in the room, by this time I was crying my eyes out in pain the nurse told me to be quiet "I should be used to this by now". What a horrible thing to say to someone who has been through a lot since this year, I have an aggressive neurological disease and other problems.
It was the most upsetting experience of my life, I won't ever return to A&E.
