Today I talked to Shannon (she's a nurse practitioner) to see if she had any ideas about getting my body off this vicious cycle of sinus infection->antibiotics->thrush + yeast infection->antibiotics don't work-> new opportunistic infections -> eventual new sinus infection.

I feel like my body is breaking down. I can't keep going through this. Aside from saying, "I hope you don't have pneumonia!" (gee, thanks, buddy), Shannon agreed with me that it's not good for my body to keep going through this.

I have allergy testing in two weeks. Shannon wants me to write down all my questions and concerns for the allergist then.

I've seen her once; Dr. Maeve O'Connor. I liked her okay, she was personable and funny; went to USC. I think they thought I was kind of an idiot; I was late cause I got really lost trying to find the office. Also when she saw the thrush she asked if I rinsed my mouth after using my inhaler. I didn't mention the continuous antibiotics. I didn't mention much at all.

I'd made my mind up not to let Dr. O'Connor in like I did Dr. Taylor, because of the overthinking thing. I guess I'll have to be- at least more honest now, than I planned.

The hope is, that allergy shots will make my allergies better, and therefore decrease the number of sinus infections. I don't know how fast they will work; if they can do the more rapid versions on me because I have a history of anaphylaxis.

Going back in to Dr. Taylor on Wednesday. At 4 when I have traffic court in Chester County at 2. Going to be tight. But Dr. Taylor herself approved putting me in so...I thought of talking to her nurse but 1) I want to make sure Dr. Taylor doesn't have any other ideas for stopping the cycle and 2) when I was communicating with Dr. Birdsong/her staff by phone, about this issue, communication really broke down by the time I stopped seeing her. I don't want that to happen with Dr. Taylor; I want my infections documented.

In other news I finally looked at cars! I like the Nissan Altima. I bumped my head getting in a Toyota Camry- clearly not made for tall people.

Also, if they put the wire payment through, I've made my first white label sale!
