For the past five months I have been suffering from severe allergies which resulted in a terrible sinus infection. In the mornings my head would feel like it was going to pop and sometimes I had to roll up tissues and use them as nose plugs so that I could sleep at night without having my nose run and mess my pillow.
Last Friday I had finally had enough and went to the doctor. They put me on a bunch of meds for my allergies and my infection and I can say that for the first time in MONTHS I actually slept last night with the ability to breath through my nose. And this morning as a set at my desk I haven't had to blow my nose or wipe it with a tissue (normally by now I would have already used three or four.)
This was seriously one of those conditions, for me, that I had been suffering for so long I forgot how it felt to not have them.
Does anyone else have any stories of medical liberation?

I get bad heart palpitations a lot and end up having trouble breathing and etc. You'd think this would cause me to step back and rethink a lot of the dumb shit I do, but nope.

I've never had anything more than some plastic stuff sprayed on to my teeth, never had any really bad illness, and my worst injury was a fractured little finger.
All of this just makes me think that I'm due for something terrible.
at first I guessed that he had previously only ever breathed through his mouth, and just made the discovery that you can actually both inhale and exhale through your nose.
one of my wisdom teeth broke in half a few months back
it keeps chipping away into sharp points every few weeks and cutting gouges in my cheek
I should go to a dentist but I'm broke and that shit be pricey
also I'm deathly afraid of them
yes, you should go to a dentist if you enjoy having any of your teeth at all, and that phobia needs to be dealt with, it's irrational and impedes your life
my dad's a dentist, CLEAN YOUR TEETH AND YOU WOULN'T HAVE TO SEE HIM WOULD YOU

Oh I also managed to completely fuck up my sleeping schedule to the point where I was sleeping maybe 2 hours a night and having to take naps during the day till finally I drank coffee all day, blasted music at myself so I couldn't go to sleep, and forced myself to stay awake all day so I could get back on a schedule.
Then I traveled to a different time zone, and had a fucked up schedule so had to do it all again.
i would post something about my situation but i know stale's going to be in here before long

My allergies and sinuses are horrible. Even after getting my tonsils and adenoids out my ears plug, my nose is always drippy, and I still hack and choke at night.
I'm thinking of hollowing out my sinuses with a spoon next. Perhaps some dynamite.

I feel like dentists are the sort of thing that if you've any measure of common sense and take care of your teeth, you really don't ever need to see one. I'm way too poor to go to the dentist on a regular basic, but when I go for my token yearly check-up, they're always sort of "oh hey you don't have any cavities, they're all yellowy 'cause you smoke but uh, when was the last time you came to the dentist?" like they're surprised that I manage to brush my teeth everyday.
plus I don't like candy, so that helps keep my teeth from rotting away from the inside out.
why do people like candy so much, it's not that great.

aren't phobias irrational by definition?
arachnaphobia is perfectly sensible
No it is not. Species of spider that are harmful to humans are in the staggeringly vast minority.

Yes, now that science has proven that and we are more rational, but on an evolutionary scale being afraid of a tiny little critter that can kill you with a bite is a good thing. Keep the fuckers away from you.
Same with fear of heights, snakes, the dark, etc. At one time we were food or lived in much more vulnerable times. The fears we developed were survival based.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I went to the doctor.
They gave me antibiotics.
Then I got the worst cold I have ever had.
Apparently the antibiotics weakened my immune system.
Imagine my surprise
but I've tried a few things and latex seems to be fine
I wonder what was up with my dick...
