Always the Invalid.
I think I got the short end of some genetic stick. It seems like I am constantly sick or tired. My dad implies that I am just being a wuss, and that if I would just suck it up I would be fine. My mom treats each symptom and bout of sickness separately, as trained doctors do. I wonder, if there isn't some connection to all the problems, some overarching cause.
I don't know how many things I've missed because I was too sick to go. I don't know how many times I couldn't go out because I was just so tired. Is there something wrong with me? What if I have some strange disease or something? Or maybe my immune system is fucked up somehow, so it just doesn't fight things off very well. I'm allergic to a lot of medications, so really the only thing that seems to make me feel any better is sleeping all day, like I did today.
I don't really know what to do about it. Doctors seem to only be interested in prescribing some medication to treat a specific system, rather than looking at the body as a whole, connected machine - holistic health, I think they call it. I would like, just once, to have a doctor look at all my symptoms to make sure that I'm okay.
