doctor in 3 days
very cool
i hope i get tested for every possible disease under the sun and then i have like super cancer or some shit (its not cancer its just going to be something dumb thats untreatable and im gonna be told 29 times that i should just live with it)
(debilitating mystery issue i cannot explain, in my throat/ears thats become unbearably intense over the course of this year)

@lebronjames75 i found that doctors can only diagnose things like 'your heart is clogged' or 'you have a huge tumor', anything that's like "i have this rash that sometimes comes and goes, also when it comes i get a headache, but sometimes i don't have it for a year", they'll give you cortisol at best.

@lain i guess its not as bad as my friend who had a spine disc fuck up and the doc would refuse to do anything beyond "here's a prescription for gel foot-soles for your shoes"
"excuse me, did you look at the x-ray?"
"bad posture, you can fix it with shoe soles"

@lain it used to be a "it comes and goes" and my doctor prescribed me herbal tea with a discount every time, which of course, obviously never helped but the doc always refused to do anything else with it. honestly it probably made it worse since i hate the flavor of most herb teas, + menthol (the stuff in mint that gives a cooling sensation) is so fucking painful to me i hate it
it has now stopped being a comes and goes so i hope to get a billion tests

@lain @lebronjames75 For those things you need a really good clinic doctor, but you usually only get those by chance or because they've been the family doctor of your dad or your best friend for 20+ years

@nerthos @lebronjames75 i mean, for 90% of these kinds of issues the solution is 'stop being so fat and lazy', but i don't think this applies to lebron
