Health Update
A few weeks ago I told yall about my unexpectant asthma attack. Well I finally saw a doctor about it. What I did was, I openned the phonebook and started requesting to speak to different doc's. He was the only one that called me back. Though he couldn't tell me about my condition until he could properly diagnose me. Something about legalities... blah blah blah! But he told me that his office would work with me financially. So I finally got to see him friday. And low and behold... he's young! And handsome. Immediately I was embarrassed. I smelled like chicken. Just got off of work at the store. I had flour all over me and my legs weren't shaved. UGH! I was totally a mess! Anywoo, he said I do have GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)and prescribed me the generic of zantac, prescription strength. He told me it isn't going to cure me but it turns the acid, before it reaches my throat, into water. There won't be anymore damage to my throat. I was lucky that infection hadn't set in, he says. But my throat is damaged. It'll take a few more weeks before I'm completely healed on that front. He also prescribed me prescription strenth clariton for my massive allergies.

Thank god for walmart and their $4 meds!!!
