Hi jnes1021 and thanks for your post. It’s a good question!

I always mention I might have to leave early and ask if there is a place I can put my coat so I can get to it without going through the coat pile. Ever since I knew someone who picked up lice from a coat pile, I have avoided my coat being in the pile. Never imagined the asthma factor too. I am pretty sensitive to animal dander, pollen and…

Like I won’t move from the Medical Centre that I am at cos there’s a number of Dr’s in that Medical Centre. I just won’t put up with landed up sick again.

Yes finally I got it all. It’s annoying that it had to be the 2 different Dr’s. I decided that if I have to keep going to two Dr’s just for one job then I will not be mucking round and that if I have to put up with this sort of thing then I will just be moving Dr’s to another Dr til I know that they’re right for me.

Hi ElizabethAnnie8444 and we appreciate your post. We’ve missed your presence here and hope that you are doing well. Since you had to see the physician twice, were you finally able to get the medications you needed?
