IsItFridayYet?
I am so frustrated I could cry.
Sinus surgery went great, but I posted a question about white spots on my uvula and throat yesterday. I didn't figure surgeon would see me, so I went to GP. I have uvulitis, ulcers, and infection plus my ears are worse, still, than they have been to this point. She had hoped the sinus surgery would allow them to drain, and they have not. My follow-up with the surgeon isn't for another week, but she did not want me to wait that long, they are obviously infected and the gamant of antibiotics has not cured it. She would like to see tubes or tympanotomy(sp?) to get all infection cleaned out and start with a clean plate. To add to the mix, the antibiotic I've been on for the past 3 1/2 weeks is what is normally used to treat the infection I have. So she switched antibiotics and put me back on steroids and told me to call the surgeon asap.
So I called surgeon and he won't do anything until next Thursday.
Since December, I have been on Doxycycline twice, Medrol dose-pak twice, Biaxin, Avelox, Zithromax, and Augmentin, which I've been on for about 24 days. My ears have gotten progressively worse on all this.
I'm supposed to go back to work on next Friday. I'm off without pay right now, and only get 50% pay next week, and the flippin doctor wants to "wait and see" some more. I am so angry.
This is the biggest reason I had concerns about this doctor. He treats what statistically should be, not ME. As Star said, I'm weird, and he's working with what should be, not what is.
