the troubles I've seen...nobody knows my sorrow...
I went back to the doctor today to check on the Staph and the rash that still is in existence on my neck. The rash is also around the ouchies on my feet. In other words, although better, the Staph is still there and the ouchies are still...well...ouchie. Another $100 dollars and she literally told me, "I don't have anything else to give you. You need to go see a specialist." I wanted to scream. They pass me from one to another and nothing works. I will go see another and they will tell me to use cream and pat dry after a lukewarm shower. I've gotten that since I was 8. I'm so frustrated. There should be a return policy for medicines that don't work and cost you $100, and for the REVISITS that cost you $75 each time. When anyone else doesn't perform a service correctly, they do it again for free. How come doctors don't? I have more medication, more cream, and more problems. The cortisone that they have been giving me, both orally and topically, is not made for long term use and causes issues with blood pressure and the liver. So, for the first time in my life, thanks to the cortisone, have a systolic blood pressure of 181. The diastolic is okay, which I guess is the one we "worry about," but I am to be careful for the nest two weeks. She recommended I stay off my feet. Yeah, right. Im off to a softball game.

This is why we need socialized medicine, at least when they tell you there is nothing they can do- they didn't take your money. Also you could be sure the medicine would be useful and not just profitable.
oops, was that a rant? I should save it for my own soapbox.
Sorry your feet are aching.
