my intestines

[rm]

I talked to Megan's mom who is an NP. She strongly suspects I have dysentery. I'm now trying, with limited success to find a clinic that will take me tomorrow. The Internet is full of home remedy stuff, but I'm at a "fuck that give me Western medicine" stage with the whole fucking affair. I spoke to Kali about it too, and between those two conversations I'm not longer worried it's anything more serious than this, which is a relief. But I still want to cry. it's embarassing and frustrating, and I still don't know where or when I'll be able to see (or afford) a doctor tomorrow. Fucking hell. At least I know why I feel like crap.



There's Dr. Dave on the LES who is apparently cool with the uninsured. An LJ'er pointed me there, and we've been emailing. Although his email address is DrDave666 and that's just ridiculous!

The Callen-Lorde Center, which might not give me a price break because of my income, and also doesn't open until nearly 2. But it's nice, and well-known and for gay folk.

A dr. in Brooklyn that was recommended by a friend and seems to be highly affordable.

If I make 13K or more a year as an actor, which I haven't done yet.

I don't know how much you're making with writing, but check out the freelancers union to see if you qualify. That's how I have my health insurance. And good luck. Intenstines are a seriously poor systemic design. I did something to mine last year that had me flat on my back for a week needing to drop out of a show. You have my sympathy :)
