Yet Another Doctor's visit

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.

yah still that's a raw deal about the meds.

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.

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

[identity profile] dragonydreams.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh. No easy decisions there.

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
isn't it grand?

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah THAT crossed my mind too

[identity profile] druinsanity.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Choice D would be the most wise choice. I'm thinking of you. *hugs*

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah that was my choice. Thanks. How are you feeling now?

[identity profile] sita-137.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Lovely options....

Synthesized Gila Monster Spit? -blink-

[identity profile] druinsanity.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Still sick. Coughing is the crappiest. Yeah, Ive decided i hate coughing. *nod nod*

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah it leaves a lot to be desired

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
amazing huh?

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
i know

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
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

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2006-03-02 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I was proud of myself for working that in. *grin*

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