Sick of Sick

 my big baby whine.
I've had a sinus infection for close to three weeks now.
I'm immune to ceclor because of all the sore throats and earaches as a kid. I'm allergic to ammoxicillian, so when I get sick I like to let my body do its thing and I usually wait it out so that when I get really sick there are still antibiotics that will work. So I ignored my sinus infection and hoped that it would go away quickly. Except now it has moved into my ears and throat. I'm freaking miserable. I've been sick for so long that all I want to do is sleep. My body is worn down and is begging me to let it get better. Three days ago I got two canker sores where my tonsils would be (ouch) and add that to everything else I'm just a big baby now. I cry once or twice a day because I feel so miserable. Part of my problem is that my Doctors office is understaffed. It takes a few weeks to get into seeing a Doctor .I'm in their process of switching PCPs through my insurance right now. So hopefully my new office will be more timely about scheduling appointment. But that doesn't help me right now.
So remember how I broke my toe, I used that as my "IN," I called the office and told them I'm have to have a one week recheck (which is true, I was supposed to get checked a week after it happened) and lied about when I broke my toe so that they had to get me in soon. They managed to get me to see a doctor today. Not a GP, but in the internal medicine department, but its pretty much the same thing so its all good. I figure I use my toe to get me in, and then have him look at my throat where he would gasp and say pity things to me about how bad it is and he would give me a nice RX for zithromax and I could start feeling better.
He was an idiot. I have no idea how he made it through med school. It took him 5 minutes to figure out that I was there for a check up on my broken toe. So he looks at my toe and tells me everything I already know. And then I ask him to look at my throat while I'm there. I explain that I've had a sinus infection and that the irritation in my throat got bad from the post nasal drip and how I'm still coughing up stuff and feeling icky in general and my throat and ears are really burny.
He tells me I have a canker sore on my throat and thats why I feel bad and its viral so no RX. I tried to get him to understand the canker was because my immune system is ran down from the sinus infection I STILL HAVE but he insisted that all my pain was from the canker and there was nothing he could do, and then he left.
I seriously cried. I'm so sick of being sick and feeling like crap and snapping at my kids because everything from my collar bone up burns. I know my body, I know how long I have been feeling like crap, and I know why I get canker sores. UGH.
So now I'm going to have to wait till tomorrow night and go back to the Urgent care (pay more money) and talk to another Dr and get some drugs because the guy today was an idiot and wouldn't listen to what I was saying.
Poor Shakes has been my night in shining armor. He took time off work today to watch the kids so I could go to the dr, and then when he saw how sad/worn out/sick I was after the drs appointment he took the rest of the day off to take care of me. Plus he has been buying me ben and jerrys ice cream to help my throat. (how have I gone 26 years and never tried this stuff before I don't know, but I'm addicted now)
