THE HYPOCHONDRIAL PRIMITIVE
Original message
do you think that you experience things about your body negatively that other people would not notice at all?
iow- it's all in your head. ok. buhbye.
ya know i made the mistake of looking back over the year at how much bcbs has shelled out on my behalf, and how much of my time has been spent with appts, tests, and procedures.
if you count my youngest in the mix- i averaged something a little less than once a week. several were 2 day or all day events. just for me, bc shelled out $46K. kiddo- $44K. don't know about scripts, except that i had $2k in co-pays.
and ya know what? i still feel like shit, and so does the kiddo. she is grateful the tonsils are gone, and i am grateful that the teenie weenie polyp is gone from my colon. other than that, we both spent a lot of time and pain and bs to find out a bunch of nothing.
then they look at you like you are some sort of parasite.
argh.

1. my first neurologist treated me like that-handed me ativan and antidepressants
...now,on my third-come to find out...there really IS something wrong with me-yes,it cost 200K to get here.I will have neurosurgery soon.What if I had accepted what the first doc said?I'd be a benzodiazepine junkie drooling in a corner.Your instincts are usually correct.Don't let them intimidate you.

2. i would love to drop my rheumie but i think that rheumie #5 is gonna think you are a hypochondriac if you crawl in on your hands and knees. current one thinks job one is to keep me from becoming "a head case". he's ok about treating pain, but has no desire whatsoever to find out what the underlying problem is.
gonna go back to pcp in a couple weeks, and try to tie the whole mess together.
she's ok.

Quick, my DU friends! The toilet paper roll has gone empty and I don't know what to do! Any help you can provide would be most appreciated!!!!!!!

I am betting that every primitive if they could would have close to that much spent on them in a year desperately trying to find "something" that would disqualify them from employment.

The hypochondrial primitive is a sort of paler version of the C-pig primitive, without the ego-need to post her photograph sixty times a week. She's from an upper middle-class section of Chicago, and an "artist." In her 50s, apparently.
She's had a life of relative ease and security, but instead of appreciating it, feels a compulsion to "suffer" along with the rest of humanity--and in fact, to "suffer" more than most. I'm not kidding when I say she alleges to have had just about every disease and ailment known in medical history, a disproportionate part of them being problems associated with the lower intestines.
We all know what Sigmund Freud said about that phenomenon.
I first noticed the hypochondrial primitive during the "lousy" Bush economy, when she decided to replace the front door of her house. There seemed nothing wrong, nothing at all, with the then-current door (she posted photographs), but despite it being the worst economy since the Israelites were in bondage in Egypt, she needed a new door.
She's the sort who's always afraid of being cheated by the other guy, and so tries to cheat the other guy first; despite that she was paying under-the-table-illegal-alien cash wages for installation of the door, she demanded Old World Craftsmanship, and whined when she didn't get it.
One wonders how the hypochondrial primitive would react, when confronted with a real crisis in life.
