Where did I find that saying?
I have multiple disease processes going on at once (anemia, CHF, GERD, trashed immune system, TB infected, Kidneys damaged, liver damaged, larynx damaged, multiple PE, multiple pneumonia). I have been told about 10 times that "you could die" (if you don't let us lock you up here in ICU for a week, poke you full of holes, pump you full of drugs, wake you up fifteen times a night to ask how you are sleeping, send you for multiple tests). I just got right tired of hearing it all. I flushed all the medications (major temper fit) and told them all (doctors) to eat manure.
I came to the conclusion that they don't have a clue and we all die anyway so I might as well just live MY life the way I want to. I discovered something interesting. A lot of the symptoms were coming from the medications. We had this proven to us in spades last week. Our 14 year old son was hurt at a hockey game. They put him on Naproxen for the swelling and pain. He now has a bleeding ulcer! The kid could eat just about anything (and I mean ANYTHING before). Now he gets pain if he eats MOST things.
