cough, hack, pop, onward!

guh.. have had bronchitis for the last TWO WEEKS.. am determined not to take antibiotics.. not like i have to be back at work in two days but seriously.. healing naturally is a pain in the ass! this morning was the first morning in a fortnight that i didn't wake up with juice in my chest.. so the phlegm is on it's way out but now i have two ear infections and a gooey eye.. we are SO dependant on penicillin that our bodies have a really hard time healing without it.. i'm sick of being dependant on a medication that gives me thrush and stunts my immune system.. if i get sick from now on i'm going to try my hardest to just get better by myself.. it's hard when it goes from your nose to your throat to your lungs then back up into your ears and eyes and you know all you have to do is take some little white pills when you first get the sniffles and you can avoid it all but man those little white pills were overprescribed to me as a child.. i had bronchial asthma for many years and every few months would get a prescription for 1000mg penicillin tabs.. these days they're reluctant to give 500mg to an ADULT once a year.. antibiotics upset your gut (and cunt) flora resulting in irritable bowels and constantly recurring yeast infections.. i've only stopped getting them now and don't want to start the whole fucking evil cycle again by plunging back into the pill routine.. i have this theory that if i heal naturally once.. i'll be less susceptible to going under again.. so i'm experimenting.. cause i can! *winces in agony as sputum in ear gurgles and pops* i agree with my nan.. i reckon we're SUPPOSED to get sick and heal OURSELVES to build up a natural strength and general immunity to illness.. it's just a cunt that the average workplace has no time for more than two or three sick days in a row, and also frowns upon coming to work when you're ill.. so we take our little white pills and rejoin the chain gang and our bodies forget how to take care of business and become dependant on the bandaid cures and i reckon that's fucked so i guess i'm turning into a puritan whacko.. must be the lack of flouride in my drinking water.. i may have an infected head but atleast my genitalia isn't so itchy that i can't sleep.. the lesser of two evils if you think about it hehe.. sniffle
