Six Months

May 30th I broke out in a rash that responded neither to benadryl nor steroids. Eventually I found a doctor who did not just treat the symptoms but would dig deep to find the cause.

Here I am, six months later with neither an answer nor hope of one soon. Today I went to the lab. They sucked me dry of all types of fluids and money.

I want to be done. I want to quit taking the meds. I want to quit going to the doctor. Some days it seems that it would be easier to live with the symptoms of this unnamed culprit than to keep spending money on time sitting in various doctor offices or getting stuck with needles or having to pee in bottles.

I know this is not anything outside of what everyone else has to go through. I am just tired. Frustrated. Done.

Doctors don't care anymore. Maybe they never did. I just rarely had to go before May. And now it seems that this is becoming my new normal.

I know it is only for a season. Just wondering how long this season has to last.
