I feel as though I'm a fairly even-keeled gal. I don't lose my cool all that often and have pretty good grip on my emotions spinning wildly out of control. All that to say . . . I find it highly insulting to get rashes and eye twitches which are beyond my control and come to find out . . due to stress. Honestly . . . how am I to get a handle on my "stress levels" when my neck itches and my eye is bugging out on itself.
To make matters more interesting . . . I went to the doctor today for my "girly exam". Since I will be quitting my job soon, it means that I have to get different health insurance WHICH MEANS a high deductible. My frugal-responsible-self won over my doctor-phobia-self. SO . . . I nervously showed up and waited 20 minutes before someone told me my doctor wasn't even there. *sigh*.
They wanted me to reschedule. I know my faults - - at least a healthy portion of them -- and therefore knew that if I walked out of the building without an exam, I would wait at least 5 years before venturing in to a doctor's office again. They ended up finding someone who had a "window of time" available and could help me. I decided to just assume that the woman performing my exam was an actual medical practitioner and not the janitor in scrubs. BUT FOR MY SANITY'S SAKE - - I didn't ask.
When I asked the doctor/janitor about my rash all she did was acknowledge that - - yes, indeed, I did have a rash. I think she even laughed a little bit. Ummm . . . NOT HELPFUL. Does it appear to be alarming? I don't get rashes - Why would I get one now? No, I didn't use different detergent. What's the worse case scenario this rash could mean?
AHHHHHHHHH . . . . .Calm down. Breathe. Breathe. Is it spreading?! I'm not sure . Maybe if I stress out about it a little more, it will stop.
