definitely wait it out if you fit in on that list somewhere. without insurance, you'll have to pay a shit-storm of money and regret it. just go if you think your in dire need of medical attention.
my insurance picks up in a month from now and i thought i had strep throat two weeks ago. im so glad i didn't go to a doctor, i feel fine now.

Thanks, girl. I'm going to see how it looks tomorrow. If it's still really swollen, I'm going to go in. I was so anxious about it all day today that I really just want to get it fixed. But my fear is that going to a doctor won't fix it and that they'll just look at it, cluck their death, perhaps give me a pill, and send me home. So hopefully it'll take care of itself...
I'm sure having a regular routine of food consumption would probably help. I'm trying the raw thing again for now. Raw fruits and vegetables are the only things I can put inside that don't cause an emotional and physical reaction.

Definitely just try to eat healthy. I know you were fasting for a while and lost lots of weight - and maybe that could be some sort of underlying cause? I just want you to be ok! Please call me if you decide you need to go in tonight or something. Tomorrow we will be out until about noon or so, but home after that.

i dont have insurance either, i had to pay $75 to go see a doctor without it, another 20 bucks for the penicilin, who knows if i really needed it though, but 2 days later i felt just fine..but I was sick for almost 2 weeks, that is why I went in to go see a doc. But 2 days later after the visit, I got some weed so it helped a lot, I was not eating enough either.

just give them a fake name and address and 0ther info, they can't not treat you.
also i don't know if it applies to your state, but in most places you can pay like 5-20$ a month on a hospital bill and they're not allowed to hassle you about it or ruin your credit.
