Oh, you sweet summer child. I am on eight daily medications, some of which are in multiple pill form, which means I swallow about fifteen pills daily. Then there are the as needed drugs, some of which are in injection forum (fun!). The best part is: I still feel like crap! But I'm trying, and I honestly believe medicine is the best medicine, so.
Please please stay on top of this lymph node thing. I'm sure it's nothing serious (although I 100% understand your mind's immediate jump to I'm gonna die!, because this is also how my mind works), but it's obviously causing you stress and discomfort, so I want it to go away. If it won't go away on its own, I will come up there and fight it. (Also, if the ENT guy is a dick, you're going to have to advocate for yourself. This is maybe the hardest thing I've learned re: adulting, esp. while ill: you have to assert yourself, take no shit, and be constantly aware of whether someone is acting in your best interests. Fucking fight, Holly. You have to, because no one else will do it for you. (Except me, I guess, as earlier stated. Heh.))
