Minor Freakout For No Reason At All

Posted by bec on Mar 3, 2008 in Headspace |

Okay, let me preface this by saying - yes, I know I am crazy. Right, it’s out there.

Tomorrow I am going for my chest x-ray on the first step to diagnosing whatever the hell is going on with my lungs. I have had persistent purulent phlegm (as the doctor calls it) for about 2 years now, and it is really starting to grate. I am constantly having to clear my throat, and can’t sustain a note when I sing, breathing becomes an issue because the phlegm gets caught in said throat and I choke a little. Yeah, I’ve been ignoring it assuming it was just a constant cold or something. Google was no help with this one, just telling me I had flu or a cough…

Bad Google - you are supposed to be my doctor. Luckily, I’ve got a good real life one now. This real life doctor is the person I will be seeing in 2 weeks time for lots of results - further blood tests and the results of tomorrow’s little adventure.

I suppose the fact that I currently have a bad cold doesn’t help matters… the crap being expelled from my nose at the moment is grade A horror show. It’s a mini version of the Kraken in Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

In fact it and my eyes are starting to run again. Bed time people.

Isn’t Purulent Phlegm the name of a band?

I can’t begin to pronounce what it was your doctor says you have! Good Luck with all of this - 2 years is a hell of a long time to be dealing with illness, by anyone’s standards.

Hilly - One step closer to health!

Penelope - Neither can I! I am, as they say, really quite daft, but such was my hatred and fear of medical professionals!

Miss Britt - it was all in my head.
