How to make the doc understand...

[Guest guest]

I have been sick for several months but most recently severe sinus/cold issues

for the past 8 weeks. In week three I finished one antibiotic, in week five I

finished two more antibiotics, the second of two bottles of cough medicine,

prednisone, and a script for decongestant pills.

Still not better, I returned to the doc last Thursday. He did a cat scan (the

first one was in March) and told me that I look worse than I did in March; as a

matter of fact he told me he has only seen one other scan look worse than

mine...ugh!

He looked puzzled and asked me if I have been exposed to anymore mold and I

told him that I had not, except for the shots I give myself every Sunday

night...that he prescribed (immunotherapy to desensitize my " allergy to mold " ).

Well, he put me back on two super-antibiotics, prednisone (again!), and a

nasal steroid. He wants to do surgery as soon as possible to remove the fungus

that is growing in the sinus cavity.

Weeks ago I gave him Dr. Shoemakers website and I took Mold Warriors in with

me. He wasn't interested. I am convinced that these shots make sick and keep

me sick and that prednisone is bad, bad, bad for someone like me.

He is my Workman's comp doctor so I can't really switch but what can I do to

make him understand and do the dang blood tests on me?? Will this surgery help

me? I am scared of surgery!

I am coughing like crazy now too and the cold weather just does me in! I

breathe it in and then I cough like mad and then I lose my voice! I am so

frustrated!! What does it take??? What have you tried with your docs? I am

not a fan of taking all these antibiotics and steroids but when I don't I am

miserable! I am at a loss here...what do you recommend?

It does not require a majority to prevail,

but rather an irate, tireless minority

keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
