Yet Another Doctor's visit

[cornerofmadness]

One of three I have this week...well two now. i canceled on. This was with the endocrinologist who reconfirmed I'm screwed. There is next to nothing that can be done for Polycystic Ovarian Disease. Yes you're boned. Have fun.

The diabetes on the other hand we can work with. I was given four choices of medication all with secondary reactions
A. one that helps me lose weight
B. one that makes me gain weight (thanks)
C. one that gives you bad gas (pass thank you)
D. one that really has no secondary effects

Well A sounds the best right? It's made of Gila Monster spit. Well sign me up doc...oh wait did you just say this was brand new? Yeah, i can't afford that? And I have to inject myself twice daily? Well let me get my party hat! Next....

B...that has severe drops in blood sugar AND it'll make me fatter? Lovely. What it DOESNT cause severe drops in sugar, are you sure doc? The tv ad says so

C. I can live without farting all day, so let's not even discuss this.

D. yeah it's only about 150$ a month. Let's go with that. See you in 6 weeks. Sob.

[aaronlisa.livejournal.com]

[purple-smurf.livejournal.com]

Oh joy. Thinking of you.

You always make your misery sound so funny. *pats you*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm disappointed in the lizard spit missage

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I know. That could be so cool.

"What's that?"

"Toxic venom from a Gila monster. Fortunately, I, being the type of person I am, am immune. Almost as if I'd been eating a little iocane powder, so Sicillians can't poison me."

Snort way to work in the Princess Bride. Like today I'm looking at Shoneni manga and listening to the boyz in the back room have a geek-off trivial fest. It's like coming home

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I was proud of myself for working that in. *grin*

Oooo, coming home to geek trivia. *happy li'l sigh*

Gila Monsters? Really?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Gila Monsters. Really. though it's all chem lab synthesized now

[psychic-warrior.livejournal.com]

Synthesized Gila Monster Spit? -blink-

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

amazing huh?

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I think you're better with the one that has no secondary effects, I'd be suspicious of how the first one is making you loose weight and what it's doing to you long term, especially if it's just on the market.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah THAT crossed my mind too

[demonicamills.livejournal.com]

Wow, medication that makes you fat and farty. Yay modern medicine

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't it grand?

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Ugh. No easy decisions there.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not at all

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

Choice D would be the most wise choice. I'm thinking of you. *hugs*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah that was my choice. Thanks. How are you feeling now?

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

Still sick. Coughing is the crappiest. Yeah, Ive decided i hate coughing. *nod nod*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah it leaves a lot to be desired

[sita-137.livejournal.com]
