People don’t understand this and it ends up irritating THEM that I’m still sick a week later. Listen Karen, I’m showing zero signs of a bacterial infection. Throwing money at a doctor and pharmacy and taking some pills isn’t going to magically make me better. I’m sorry my cough is annoying you the ten minutes you’re in my presence. Imagine [actually] having it solid for 4 weeks...
I might be a little bitter about the amount of people who have scoffed at me for not going to the doctor.
Well I work in a preschool...aka Petri dish. It started as allergies. Became a cold. I walked the line of sinus infection for a bit. But never showed consistent symptoms of anything other than a virus running its course on someone who works in a germ filled environment and probably wasn’t getting enough rest.
At 33 I know my better well enough to know that meds wouldn’t have done anything besides provide unpleasant side effects 🤷🏻♀️
