Dear people...

... who say I'm always at the doctor. I would like to adress this issue and I will break down into points so your small minds can have a chance at understanding it.

  1. This spring I went to the doctor becuase I looked as pale as a fricking ghost and could hardly make it through a day. Not normal. My hemoglobin was so low it almost qualified for a transfusing. Not okay. So yes I did see the doctor as I DID NOT WANT TO DIE!
  2. Another thing this spring. My hands started to swell (edema), hurt, itched, and I couldn't feel as well or use my hands as well either. So yes, again I wanted to know why my hands are swelling as this can be a sign of a major medical issue, that and I wanted to use my hands again and not go crazy becuase they itched. Dyshidrotic excema.
  3. Last year I went to the doctor. Once was becuase I woke up with all over pain(flu anyone?), was barely coherent (am I ever?), and had major chills and was crying... but lets pretend that didn't happen. So I did not go of my own free will, but I did manage to coerce my mom into just going to a clinic not the ER. (kinda a bad idea in hindsight as I think the ER might have made me feel better faster... and not wait 2hrs). So I had the flu... Still it was not my choice to go.
  4. Again to go because I was sweating bullets and had a fever of 102 F, after taking an Aleve. Well that and I thought if I got their okay, they would let me go to school. No I actually go BANNED, which wasn't surprising as you could probably tell I had a fever with me practically melting.
  5. Also, should I have gone to the doctor another time it would have been for an infection, bacterial, as I 1) don't have time to take weeks to get better and 2) I understand that these infections can get progressively worse and spread; therefor you should not let it get that far. WARNING: this applies to actual infections, not sniffles from allergies.
  6. Also, guess who is more prone to getting respiratory infections? ME! DARN THAT ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES. (Good news: actually taking my meds for this consistently actually helps.... who woulda thunk)
  7. I think we should also examine that I am now probably more healthy than a good bit of my friends and specifically those who make said stupid comments.
  8. NO I DON'T go the doctor that much. This past year has only been for non-infection problems (see 1&2)
  9. I admit I went to the doctor this past few months. Why you may ask. Well after working out 1 hr a day cardio, 5 days a week I was still really fatigued. I couldn't get through a day without a nap. That's not what's supposed to happen when one gets more healthy. Got that fixed. (dang gum iron won't stick!)
  10. Oh, and I haven't even gone to the ER in over a year for the kidney stones or other wise. 
  11. And I don't have mono.
Well since none of those people will read this blog, I guess it could just be a humorous one, or a venting one... could really be both at the same time.

PS I also think people actually like me and don't think I'm evil, a snob, lesbian, slut, whore, ect.
I think Steph loves me....
