I hate doctors!
Scott has been feeling ill for the last four weeks. Just a lot of seemingly unrelated ailments that are really making him feel awful. When he says he needs to go to the ER, I take that very seriously as this is a man who normally will not even mention when he's sick. There have been several instances where I've not even known he was sick or had a migraine until after the fact. So when he asks to go, I freak. There they do lots of tests and can' t figure it out. They send him to his doctor. Who also can't figure out what it is, but gives him some meds to help with the symptoms. No idea the cause, but let's throw pills at it and see if it goes away. The only thing they all seem to agree on is that it's some kind of virus (apparently, the mother of all viruses since it can seemingly live over 4 weeks!), yet some of the symptoms don't seem virus-like. And I love the fact that they talk to us like we're idiots. I mean, I know that probably many of the ER patients are low on the clued-in scale, but give me a break! I KNOW that antibiotics won't cure a virus, but we don't KNOW it's a virus, do we?!
Anyway...I'm still highly frustrated and unsure what to do from here. I hate being totally not in control and just not knowing what to do. He's still feeling crappy, hardly able to work when these episodes start but he HAS to get to work. ugh.
