I’m Still Broken

Well, something is still wrong with me. I took my antibiotics, I took my Monistat to cure the resulting yeast infection and I still have the same problem I had a month ago. Damn, this is getting really old.

This wouldn't be so bad if I had health insurance, but I don't. Why can't these people just run the tests they need to, perscribe the right medicine and be done with it. "Well, your symptoms indicate it might be this...take this medicine and if you don't feel better, come back and we'll run another test." It's like mechanics that keep replacing parts until they stumble on the correct one instead of running diagnostic tests and replacing the broken part the first time.

I tried selling a bunch of stuff on eBay again to raise the money to go to the doctor. Sadly, nobody wants my stuff. Only two things that I listed this time sold and I raised a total of less than $15 (after fees). That won't even pay for an office visit. *sigh* eBay is definitely for buyers, not sellers. Unless you have something really rare or your business is based on something that people need alot like ink cartridges or computer parts, you're not going to become rich selling there. It also makes me feel bad that I own all of this stuff and it is basically worthless to anyone but me.
