Thought I'd update my blog because I realise that the past 3 weeks have been nothing but complaints about my computer's absence. haha. how pathetic.
I went to a radiographer to get an OPG (orthopedic graph) i.e. wisdom teeth xray. Twas a sad day when the dentist told me that my nerves were too close to my wisdom teeth for her to pull it out so I now have to go to an oral surgeon. Great, I thought. My medical insurance doesn't cover dental and now I gotta see a specialist. AND I have to pull out 4. I thought I only had two.. ;.;
She also prescribed me some antibiotics about 2 weeks ago which I didn't take for several reasons:
1) My swelling seemed to be going away
2) antibiotics are bad for you when taken over a long period
3) the fact that I use Colgate Total may lead to multiple resistance and I could end up with something even weirder x.x
4) drugs = $$
but anyways, I totally lost the battle. It got infected again and I started getting fever and when you learn about these things and watch people die, you really dont want to be stubborn. So I got myself about a weeks worth of antibiotics. So expensive!! Its like a buck per pop. Man... If I have to take 1-2 months worth of this, I dread the hole its gonna burn into my pocket and heaven forbid what kind of microflora imbalances I'll have >.<
sigh. a series of unfortunate events. sometimes my life feels more like a soap opera. can you blame me for being the drama queen that i am? :/
and just when life got hectic too.
i havent washed my hair in 5 days o_o *scritch scritch*
saiyo . . .. . . . .

what hologram?????????
Get generics?....
Herron Ibeprofen = Neurofen
I'm pretty sure the standard antibiotic, Amoxilin(?) has a generic too.
That's the combo I took for my wisdom tooth infection/inflammation. It worked wonders!
OPG should be covered under Medicare, the others, depending on your cover will cost you an arm and a leg. It cost me $900 out of my pocket after all the Medicare and private health insurance covers but then, I had a cyst which had to be removed ($220) as well as a diagnostic test for the cyst ($195).
yeah im taking generic amoxycillin. but geez. its like $15 for 20 pills.
and yea cos im international ive only got overseas health cover i.e. Medibank. which doesnt cover dental. I cant even claim for my antibiotics D: im seeing a doctor next time i need more pills >(
