I've snapped out of my funky mood
.I have this theory that my mood is somewhat determined by the weather. Yesterday it was grey & bleak & I was in one foul mood, yet today the sun is shining & I'm a relativity happy girl, with some minor discomfort...
Granted, yesterday I found it so hard to get out of bed it wasn't funny & I was really worried cause my left nipple hurt like hell. I went to the doctor this morning cause I had to get some test results too & was just a tad worried I was going to be diagnosed with breast cancer.... Slight overreaction ;)
I thought it would be a good thing to get checked for STD a few weeks ago, she just about killed me when she read out the results though, she's like
"HIV..... hmmm '30 second gap' ... Clear."
"Herpes.... hmmm '30 second gap' ... Clear."
"Names of 3 or 4 other STD's I don't know.... hmmm '30 second gap' ... Clear."
It drove me just a little crazy! Not that I actually thought they'd be positive but let's face it condoms aren't 100% & don't stop all STD's. Plus considering I only had the one partner, ever, then in the last year I've had 5, I thought it would be the sensible thing to do.
With the nipple thing she's like "was your 'boyfriend' there 'orally'?" (I could have done the 'well he's not really my boyfriend & confused the poor lady because lets face it, if I don't get the whole situation how the hell is some poor medical professional). My simple response: "umm Yes". Her: "when?" me: "ummm, Sunday". Her: "tell him to leave it alone for a little while" me: "ummm, OK". Her: "could just be a infection so I'll give you some antibiotics" me: "ummm, OK".
Must admit I'm not the most comfortable person around doctor's when they're either a) doing some sort of smear 'down there', which I must add is the most unpleasant thing I've ever experienced & it never gets any better or b) pushing my boobs around, compeering & checking for lumps & things... but what can you do, it's gotta be done.
It frustrates the hell out of me when doctors are like "well it 'could' be: insert proper medical description of something awful" we'll just pump you full of drugs & see if that makes you any better. The antibiotics will kill off all the good bacteria in your system too, give you thrush & probably do more harm than good but we'll give it a go anyway, if it doesn't work we'll try something else - nice.
