This is how it went:
Teeth pulled in March.
2 weeks later = sinus infection.
$130 later = much better
2 weeks later = sinus infection
$190 (ouch) later = somewhat better
1 week later = sinus infection
No money. I toughed it out for 3 weeks.
Then: throat infection with puss stuff.
$120
Another throat infection. Amoxiciliin stopped working back on the second sinus infection.
Try it anyways. Waste of 20 dollars.
Still have throat infection with puss stuff.
Add to that: one more sinus infection. (with good, steady low grade fever)
I just spent 103 of my 110 dollars on my astronomy book. I can't go to the doctor. And even if I do go, I cannot afford the medicine.
I am sick, and very tired. But mostly tired of being sick. And it doesn't help that I am still working full time while going to school full time and not getting enough sleep because of homework.
Sorry I'm complaining so much. I'm just so miserable right now. I wish I could rub my nose off.
Did I mention that it costs me so much to go to the doctor because I don't have health insurance? My family is self employed so we can't afford those crazy prices and deductibles. No way. Even the insurance my work offerred me (which is really crappy anyways) was at least half my income every month. But at this point I am spending so much that I think I might regret missing the open enrollment....
Man, I'm going to sleep.

Posted by anonymous at August 29, 2007 9:46 PMIsn't there an infirmary on campus for students? Let me tell you, if you have a strep infection and it goes untreated, you can end up with rheumatic fever, and end up with heart damage. It happened to my granddaughter. Borrow money from your parents if you have to, but you cannot let this go untreated.

Posted by: at September 2, 2007 2:46 PMDo you need that oober expensive medicine I have?? You know I'll let you just have it. I told my mom I took it all anyways when I had my sinus infection a few months ago. So if I get another one, I'll just tell her to get me some off her insurance. Granted its not a whole perscription, but its all I got 4 ya babe.

Posted by: at September 3, 2007 4:52 PMlol yeah I guess you're right, it should be 'pus'.
I don't go to a university anymore, I'm at a community or 'junior' college. (much easier on the wallet) When I was at the big school, I had strep throat and was able to get treated for free. My school doesn't offer that.
Seems like I'm pretty prone to throat infections but the results keep coming back negative for strep.
I did see my doctor ($93) and got an antibiotic ($10.52 woo) and am starting to feel better today. Thanks.
Posted by: at September 4, 2007 8:14 AMHave you checked your local Health Department for help? How about clinics that charge based on your ability to pay? C'mon, this is America! Oh...yeah... America...home of health care for everyone. Not!
