COLD AND HEARTLESS. ...I wish...
Pink Eye
Yeah, that's right. I said "Pink Eye". As in .... sick.
I've been sick since Wednesday with a sore throat and a major fever and now I think I have pink eye.
It's easy to say "Go to the Doctor" but the thing is, I don't have insurance. I'm 21 and I live alone.
gonk
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, right? WRONG. Let you know how the *VERY EXPENSIVE* doctor's appointment goes. I'll list the prices, just so you get an idea. Ahahahahaha... crying
Prices: the visit was $75. The eye drops were $15. The Benzonatate was $24. The Amoxicillin was $13.
I will be heavily medicated for the next two weeks.

When I was a kid, I used to have pink eye ALL THE TIME, so I feel your pain <3

And when I was sick and I had to take Amoxicillin, I had an inflammation of the tissue in my ribs because I was coughing so much it messed my chest up D: So the amoxicillin was to keep the inflammation down.

I also had to take (count 'em) 6 other medications, because I had strep, and a fever, and a hideous cough all the while having the inflamed rib tissue.. I took about 10 pills per day D: I was heavily medicated too.

Drink lots of water and play video games. That usually helps <3
