Journal Entry for August 28, 2009 Mood
Friday, August 28, 2009 | A Frustrating story
I am so very frustrated because I feel like the people around me say they understand what it is I am going through, but how can they really?  They cannot, unless they are feeling the same things.  It bothers me when people I live with don't go to the doctor when they know they are sick.  Then I feel paranoid and keep asking "can you please go?"  By then it is always too late, like now for instance.  I am sick and having a simultaneous flare up.  I am 38 and live with my parents and I caught it from my mother.  I kept begging her to see the doctor, and she kept saying well what if it's viral.  I kept saying what if it isn't?  Anyway now I get to take Augmentin for a week (lucky me), and deal with a flare up.  I went 7 weeks without one, which is the longest I have gone since I am on the Cellcept.  There is hope, but being on the immuno-suppressive, puts us all at risk for what everyone else has brewing.  Ugh!  I just feel frustrated, because maybe this could have been avoided.  Whew...now I feel a tiny bit better, I think.

    This is a good way to vent with all of us in similar boats. At least we understand. I know I am like most people and hold out on going to the Dr. I don't like to spend the money, take meds if I don't need to etc. Most people are like that. The only thing you can do is try to stay away from them as much as possible and practice good hand washing and that kind of thing. We are heading into flu season and nowhere will be safe! Hope you get feeling better soon. Pam
