[tri-med] Re: Cysts

Way to go Therese!! ... keep it all in perspective!
Sometimes I think parents want things fixed and don't realize what the
real sacrafice is... it is good that they told you in advance what the
negatives could be.

I remember my son sneezing every morning, several times and often
having to go change his shirt (big gunky sneezes).
He has since outgrown it, but way back when, I took him to an
allergist.  After those painful 'pin pricks', I realized the h*ll he
was going through... and for what?  For sneezing!!!   To top it off,
the **&^% allergist/doctor wanted him on a steroid.. and for what?=20
sneezing!  He didn't tell me it was a steroid that he was prescribing,
I had to ask because the name sounded something like on, AND my sister
is a nut about NEVER taking one for any reason at all!!  I tore up the
prescription when I got home... and threw away the free sample.  geez.

Allergist/dr. said he was allergic to bayberry... and dust mites (who
isn't??)...  after all that.  ... didn't mention he could outgrow it
without the family having to be a nutcase about cleaning (and I'm not
and probably will never be)... he also recommended a very expensive
air cleaner for his room... we opted to keep the sneezing.  I told my
son if he ever wanted an allergy test again, he'd be driving himself
since I'd NEVER put him through that again... and definitely not at
THAT dr's office.  >:O(|

In hindsight, a lesson was learned that day... it is better to look at
what the problem is and compare to the solution, rather than just
always fixing everything.  Took me a while to realize all this... that
the sneezing was just a small thing in comparison to the   @*&^   dr's
solutions.

Let's keep that sweet smile of hers!!
