it just amazes me that women get told so much more than men "its psychological". there have been several studies done where women and men will go to a doctor for the same thing and women will be told at alarming rates that its psychological and men will get physical treatemnet on the spot. just drives me crazy. its very hard to live in america if you have any ethics or common sense ive noticed lol

a while back my bf and i went to the same doctor...he had a cold and this was when i first started to check out these lumps....mind you everyone had this cold...it went around...i had it at the same time..he went because he missed a day of work and needed a note....i didnt miss any because i had three days off and used that to get better...we went ...i was told that i was just fine and dont worry about it....my boyfriend had testing done and antibotics....for a sore throat!!! And the doctor gave him another two weeks off!!! TWO WEEKS....i was using my days off to get better....and using lots of cough drops....mind you when i was sick everyone pushed me to eat chinese and go out and when he got sick people made soup and stayed in ....its like just because im not so ....open about being sick ...doesnt mean im not....grrrr
