Episode # 3 "JustSayNo" 2006 Season of

As The Tonsil Falls

Ok. Tomorrow is my follow up appointment with "TheTaper" and my parents are driving up to Dallas to basically tell my doctor "NO MORE DRUGS."

Granted, he did lower my prescription count from 17 to 9 six weeks ago, but I still feel like crap. I have no energy, I am severely depressed, and I have had insomnia since the last week of January. Considering I have had approximately 3-4 hours of sleep per night for the past 2 1/2 months, it is no wonder why I feel so bad.

The problem I have with taking medicines... is I was under the impression that they were supposed to make you feel better, not worse. Here I am, 7 months and 27 days after my diagnosis and I feel worse now than I did before I even went to the doctor and now I have a beautiful 4-inch scar going down the middle of my knee to boot.

I really don't want to go to the doctor tomorrow, but since my dad has already taken the day off work, I guess I have to. It's really annoying that I am nearly 32 years old and my parents are still going to my doctor's appointments with me, but I guess that is just the nature of the beast with my condition, especially when the doctor's ignore your symptoms and how you feel and just give you drugs.

And to that I want to say:

Just Say No.

That scar makes you look tough.

I hate doctors who don't listen to you and just throw drugs at you and then act like you're crazy for not feeling any better. I hope it goes well tomorrow, keep us posted!

That to me is so darn scary. A doctor that won't listen to you just blows me away. I hope everything goes well.

I do think it is awsome that your parents are going with you, that way you outnumber the doc.
