Agitating

It's been days of myself suffering from throat problem. I always blame it on the weather, especially here in Singapore, where I find it unpredictable. But I think I'll have to pin it on my age as well. I'm not getting any younger! (just like everyone else!). Ergo, taking care of health should be on top of my list. It should have been, a long time ago. I hope I can weather it.

I visited the doctor a couple of days ago, and as usual, it's like going to a pharmacy. I gathered my thoughts to c-l-e-a-r-l-y explain to him my health condition but he didn't give me even a single concrete diagnosis. Nothing! Now the medicines he prescribed leave me an agitating and draining feeling everytime I take it. As agitating and draining as him! But do I have a choice? No. Or maybe yes. I don't know. I have visited several clinics here and they are all the same bland banana.

When I had another TMJ attack last time, I went to this hospital, just on the OPD. I was explaining to them how I got that attack and trying to describe the pain and they ended up injecting me a high-dosage pain killer right in my butt! My lower body got paralyzed that time for almost an hour. What pissed me off that time was that they were asking me questions as if they were psychologists helping me to arrive to my own solution on how to combat pain. That was really absurd. Well, injection was the least thing I could thing of. Crazy.

I hope I can put myself back to normal. Work and other activities are coming up soon, and all I want to do up to now is sleep, eat, and take a vacation. Or maybe, something else.
