That's the biggest problem with a country that turns its health-care service into a money-making venture.
It attracts too many people who treat it like any other business focusing on selling products instead of actually caring about making people better.

Hope you get one that knows what they're doing this time.
*hugs*

hopefully there will be money on my insurance so i can do that. swedish medical supposedly has an amazing urgent care system (though it was closed when i went there originally haha) gah i can't breath lol and yeah it's really sad that most clinics and hospitals are funded by prescription companies

Oh that's horrible. I'm sorry ur not not getting better. I hope too that u find a better doc 2nd time around. Though I am glad to hear that u many projects lined up and I wish u good luck with the volunteer program at the zoo. Get better soon. *hugs*

-hug- thanks :) i just need to hope that my insurance has money on it so i can go to swedish, apparently their urgent care ward is amazing. but i'm thinking about making a few plushies and plushy backpacks when i start making more suits and wind up with extra fabric. i'm also working (mentally, everytime i draw i get a headache) i really want to design something with Dran from dark cloud one and drawing some of the heartfelt moments in my monster rancher game (which could lead to a whole new series on top of the ref sheets i need to make for the funny farm series) like the birth of my first monster and his death. and the following parts after :)

I hope ur insurance will allow it so u can get right on all that awesome stuff.

wooooo :D this is dran i wanna make a suit/dress type of clothing of him and a plushie backpack of him

Cool

gahhhhhhhh my body is angry and freaking out. it's making me think i'm terrified because my lungs think they're drowning and my throat keeps getting clogged. I quit taking the cough syrup the doc gave me because it was one of my DOC's when I was using and the painkillers in it make me mean XD i need to track down the cough drops in this house lol

Ohh that's not good, I'm sorry

Ok then, time for the weird possibly not safe home remedy.

I suffered/suffer from seemingly endless sinus problems and because of that I had to find my own way to deal with it. Lack of insurance also played a role.

I start with a good ear cleaning, hydrogen peroxide works good for this. Lay on your side and with a dropper if you have one fill up your ear. Give it a good minute or so to really loosen up what ever is in there then drain it on a towel or into the sink. Using a squeeze bulb if you have one or a syringe without the needle blast some warm/hot water up into your ear while draining it face down. Follow with q-tips to mop up what is left. Expect some dizziness during and just after the process.

Move on to brushing your teeth three times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once before bed. A good gargle with a salt water solution/saline solution will help out and before a brushing is a good time to do it.

For the nose here is the really crappy part, a nasal rinse, once with hydrogen peroxide. It will foam, it will feel like it's burning a little and it'll make you gag as it works into your throat. You may even vomit however I find it's really good for cleaning out all the nasty that has been camping out in your nose. You'll still have some running and some dripping but that should clear up in a day or so.
Note: I don't like the neti pot, pouring fluid into your sinuses is a generally bad idea and the neti pot tends to cause more harm due to people not using it right or using it too much then it seems to help. A few drops of hydrogen peroxide is safer and more effective in my opinion.

For the fluid in the respiratory tract there isn't much you can do except hope it clears up now that you aren't adding to it. Try sleeping either on your face so that it drains out in the night or sleep propped upright so that you can drain out at night and not into your respiratory system. The worst thing that can happen is a build up of fluid in the lungs that can lead to infection which can only be cured with antibiotics. Avoiding the infection is important.

This is going to sound really odd but get yourself a decent vibrator. Those things put out some great vibrations and I have found that if you roll it around on your forehead (a sinus cavity is up there), on the bridge and down the front of your nose (sinus cavity), and the cheeks under your eyes (sinus cavity) it can loosen the build up of trapped fluids and help relieve pain and pressure and get things moving. I like the egg style vibrators for this the best but what ever you are comfortable with, I just didn't like the wand style ones.

I came up with the above after I had a terrible sinus infection that hurt so much I thought about just killing myself to escape it. It was beyond migraine pain for me. Nothing they gave me helped and aside from pain killers which only managed to take the edge off the symptoms didn't clear up.

I hope this helps.

thanks i'll keep that in mind :)
