Gotta Love managed health care!! My insurance company denied the antibiotic I needed. They said that I should have tried 3 rounds of immodium first. Immodium. Like Pepto Bismol. Becasue that is going to cure me. NOT. How frustrating!! So, I called the pharmacy to see what it would cost if I just paid out of pocket.... $1050!!! for 28 pills!! OKay, that option is out. So now I just have to increase my time table a little longer, and repeat the 5 days of the current antibiotics. Too bad. These leave a really weird taste in my mouth... Oh well, all for the greater good of my health, right?
I called the Dr's office today. I just wanted to make sure that what the internet said was true. That I was supposed to feel sick to my stomach. That food makes me nauseous. That I don't want to move from bed. And, yep!! She confirmed that it gets worse!! Whee!! But, then it gets 100 times better. That's what she said. So I'm holding on to that little thread for now.
I didn't change much in my diet today, so here's a picture of my tall kid's artwork that was published in the school newspaper. It's actually an accurate representation of how I feel. Damaged. Tired with the dark circles around my eyes. Painfully sore. But I put on that smile to keep my sanity, and to let the others around me know, that I'm not giving up this fight!! God willing, I'll beat this to be able to help others through it.
