I'm sick all the time. Literally. From a skin condition that causes golf ball sized abscesses (incurable, of course.) in my legs and smaller ones on pretty much every sensitive area of my skin. It's affected my life in so many ways, from the clothes I wear to the activities I can do. Sometimes they'll burst inwards and I'll get very sick for a while.

Not only that buy my tonsils are huge. My doctor felt the need to show all the nurses so they could gawk at them. They cause sore throats every time I breath in too much dirt or dust, plus I've had Streph throat so many times that I've developed a me specific strain that I don't even feel! At least, that's my best reason because I rarely realize I have streph until my tonsils are halfway covered with the crud. Nasty, I know. I also have ear issues. I had one ear infection for over seven years once.

On top of all this I have joint pains, a hip injury, and have difficulties getting around. No matter how much I work out I can never lose my extra weight (talking about 2 hours a day every day and nothing but veggies to eat).

Ontop of all this I'm just as mentally screwed up. Depression, PTSD, and paranoia being the worst of it. I feel like I'm being watched by cameras everytime I leave my home. Which sucks because I KNOW I can't be being followed. It's impractical for someone to be monitoring cameras all the time.

Through all this I'm miserable. Finding a job right for me is nigh impossible, I'm in pain every day, and I can't do the things I love. At one point I had to take ten pills a day, twice a day. I hated taking them and eventually stopped. Every time they send me to get my tonsils out they tell me how much pain I'll suffer through and I get scared. I'm miserable every day, but the pills never help. I hate taking them and I hate the thought that my entire life is dependent on those blasted pills that never seem to work.

I'm so sick of being sick, but I hate the medicine they give me. Is it normal?

    Honestly, I don't personally like pills at all. I haven't taken an asprin in years. I've had better luck with home remedies. But that's just me. But yeah, I think it's normal.

    I understand how you feel, albeit to a lesser degree. I have struggled with severe anxiety, depression and OCD, along with some psychotic tendencies, for most of my life. I started taking psychiatric medication and vitamins at the age of 14, and I've been on it ever since (I'm 21 now).

    I really resent the fact that I have to take 7 pills a day in order for me to function like a normal person, when so many other people are able to function just fine without any medication at all.

    I feel u, I'm sick allllllllll the time, with colds and flus and strep throat and bladder infections and aches and pains and carpool tunnel and other issues I'd rather not list...and I hate taking meds! Absolutely hate it! I feel it in my kidneys and so many meds make me sick! I feel like I live sick more than I live healthy and now when I feel normal (not sick) I just sit there and appreciate the feeling of not being in discomfort. After years of fighting w/ my immune system I've kind of given up. Now I'll do anything or take anything to feel better. U should have ur tonsils removed, it'll hurt A LOT less once they're out. Ur just being immature about it, get over it and make urself feel better! Gl ^^
