Looking for sympathy
I'm having a crap time... 
I've been sick for last two months. Firstly I came down with Impetigo (which was nasty), then I was diagnosed as having Acid Reflux (GERD) and have been having some really nasty side effects with the pills I've been taking.
This morning I've woke up with a bubble of liquid on my left eye ball, I can't see a damned thing, and have also just been told that I have vertigo/middle ear infection.
I've never been this sick in my entire life...

That's a fair point, Penguin! I know that things could always be worse.
The Dr said that the bubble "should" go down when I get the Acid Reflux medication out of my system.

They must really like me. I'm definitely making the most of my medical insurance.

Here's a question - about Acid Reflux disease. Why isnt it so high profile in the UK/ Europe as it is over here in the US? I never heard of it until I came over here. Now heartburn is a 'disease'. WTF?
Or am I just being an ignoramus...?
It really sounds like the drugs companies making a market for themselves - bunch of tossers!

Remember the ads - "Upset stomach? pains after eating? you MUST have acid reflux...." etc....
