sick
Okay.
Turns out I do have neisseria meningitidis, it just hasn't reached my bloodstream yet.
I saw my plates today and was horrified at the microbial growth covering them...
My doctor is being stupid and wants me to come in and pay another co-payment after all I already went through this week alone..... treatment is now going to be delayed at least another 4 days.
This is fucking stupid.
all day at work, (yes I went to work) I was limping and stuff....my back is killing me and the nurse destroyed the veins in my hand....
"Neisseria meningitidis is an important cause of bacterial meningitis, an inflammation of the meninges of the brain and spinal cord. Other bacteria that cause meningitis include Haemophilus influenzae,Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Meningococcal meningitis differs from other causes in that it is often responsible for epidemics of meningitis. It occurs most often in children aged 6 to 11 months, but it also occurs in older children and in adults. Meningococcal meningitis can be a rapidly fatal disease, and untreated meningitis has a mortality rate near 50 percent. However, early intervention with antibiotics is highly effective, and with treatment most individuals recover without permanent damage to the nervous system."
So instead of getting annoyed at my doctor's office, I guess I should suck it up and hand over some money because I don't think I would like to be dead in a few months.
At least, not right now.
