My dear readers, I've had a shit day. (here's your fair warning: today's a blog is a whole rant and there is swearing. Enjoy!) How much do I want to go into details? I want to go into ALL of the details. but I probably shouldn't because reasons...let's just say I've had health issues this week. The least of which being my increasing severe cystic "maskne" which has now developed a small infection on my chin. (let's not forgot how I'm not taking my acne medication because I had to be hospitalized after what it did to me.) So I'm feeling like a little under the weather due to that. Yes, acne can make you feel sick if it gets infected enough. and then there's antibiotics...yadda yadda. I've also had some other health problems this week...and....bear with me but I'm just noticing lately that I keep getting talked out of going to the doctor by the advice nurses or receptionists. I get it. I know everyone's tired of everything. Me too. but I guess I need to be a little more direct with the staff when I'm calling my doctors instead of "ahhh oh..haha I don't know whyyyy I wanna come in....I mean *twirls hair* should I come in? what do you guys think?" because then I'm being talked to like I'm crazy for being concerned about my own health and well being. I thought the days were behind me of the medical professionals in my life making me feel like complete shit but we all just need to remember that we need to keep advocating for ourselves and the talented and amazing people on the other side of the phones are also just that...they are people too and they are tired and of course don't wanna play games with people like me who are anxious and can't decide what's wrong with them or what they need to do. So yes this is a rant, but I'm ranting to myself about myself about not being what my therapist would call "a grown ass woman" and saying, "Look, this is what's happening, I'm scared and I would like to schedule an appt with Dr. blahblahblah". Sometimes you need to take the initiative. I love my health care workers so fucking much because I require a lot of health care and I'm still alive and that's because of them.
I think I'm just going to leave it at that today and continue my review of the my most popular blog posts starting back again tomorrow. In the mean time, ladies who've been through the tragic haunted house experience that is infertility, and/or are a fellow PCOS cyster, please send me a message because I need advice <3
