They really don't give a shit about you suffering do they? [View all]

I was told over a year ago that my nose was almost completely closed by polyps. The doctor said he wanted to start with allergy shots because if he took them out right then, with my severe allergies they would just grow back. So I went through the allergy testing and started the shots and I can tell they are making a difference.

But in the beginning of December I got a terrible cold. And then it was in my sinuses and it just won't go away. I have used boxes and boxes of klenex and my nose is raw from blowing, (although at this point blowing isn't even much help)

I'm angry that it is taking this long to get the surgery. When I went to him about a month and a 1/2 ago after 2 rounds of antibiotics he said he wanted to try some special antibiotic, steroid up the nose with a atomier type thing first. Supposedly it was to come in the mail in about 2 days. 2 weeks later it arrived. And after using it for about a week I realized it wasn't helping at all so I called and said I just wanted the surgery.

So then they say something about how they changed their name, (the changed something on their bill) and it would take 2 weeks for my insurance to kick in so I would have to wait.

It is almost frigging March and I have been sick since December! I'm sure I would not be so irritated if I wasn't feeling so damn sick all the time! Most of the time now I have to shove a Klenex up my nose to make sure it won't just start draining down, (sorry for the gross description) and I don't want to go anywhere of course. My house is a mess because I can't really clean it since I feel like crap.

I just wanted to vent. If anyone else has had someone similar please share. I feel like I am all along in the world with this thing and I'd love to hear from someone else who has gone through it.
