F*in Doctors!!

Uh!! I have been sick for 4 months!! months of earaches, swollen glands, blocked ears, severe post nasal drip, and feeling like someone has their hands around my throat! I had a physical 6 weeks ago and adressed it with my doctor. She told me it was my allergies, my apt. blah blah blah. She advised me to continue taking my allergy meds and call her in 6 weeks. Well, obviously i'm not better because nothing has changed and now I have to go back (pay the co-pay again) get a new prescription (that most likely won't work) and go to an allergist (which she could have sent me to 6 weeks ago and yet another co-pay! So now I have suffered for 6 more weeks, have to take more time off from work and dish out more $$. WTF!! Sorry. Had to vent  :)

    Careful with the allergist - I went to one a while back and he did all kinds of crazy tests and in the end told me I am allergic to Cats, Dogs, Mold and Dust (duh). Basically stuff you can't avoid and I don't want to be on meds for every little thing for the rest of my life. I spent about $500 on a new vaccum and some sleeves for my matress and pillows and didn't notice any difference.I am no doctor but it sounds like what you have was triggered by something - did you change soaps, detergents, perfumes, apartments, jobs, anything? From the sounds of your symptoms it would have to be something pretty dramatic (like a sick building) to make you that sick. When they renovated my workplace a few years ago I was sick for several weeks from all the carpet glue and paint fumes, not to mention all the dust that got kicked up.Good luck and keep us posted!
