Well, if you made a pro/con list, on the pro side would be that, ultimately, you'd have the medication, which would improve your health. So, MAJOR pro.

On the con side, though, is how much energy it will take to fight that fight, and the question is, do you have that energy? Or, maybe a better question is, *will* you have it, after you see your PCP today and get started on steroids? (I don't mean "will you have more energy at 1:00 today?"; I mean, "will you have more energy in a few days?" I think you will, so maybe you can take up the fight then.)

Exactly. I just wrote about this in my LJ, actually. For me, it's a quality of life issue. I cannot keep coming back to this place--especially when there is a freaking medication that has like a 98% chance of completely controlling my asthma.

I think this is a time where I have to find the energy. Also, this isn't a fight just for me. This is a fight for a lot of people. There were at least 3 other people in my same situation the last time I was fighting this.

vw, you're an amazing person to worry so much about others when you're dealing so much yourself. I hope that you can get the meds you need.

vw, please fight for yourself. You are a powerful friend, you deserve to have someone like you on your side. sj, I hope the pain lessens as the day goes on.

Thanks, Windsparrow.

I should go get my car inspected. I have until tomorrow to get it done.
