You thought I was finished?
Oh, and another thing. I am sick of having to deal with the fact that I am host to a treatment resistant strain of stapholoccocus bacteria. As much as this is causing me no REAL irritation at the moment aside from the occasional single pimple-looking thing, I'm feeling psychologically "dirty." Not to mention I would really like to:

-Be able to shave my armpits every day or even every OTHER day without worrying about it and "breaking out"
-Take a nice soak in the tub on a cold night. Did this the first week here and haven't been able to do it since because if the havok it wreaked on my skin.
-Wear ANTIPERSPERANT. I never wear this in the states and I've even found a spray deoderant that works for me here (hallelujah!) but with the stress that I'm under I CONSTANTLY sweat and I'm damn tired of it.
-Stop throwing my shirts in the wash after ONE WEAR regardness of whether or not they smell. I like my clothing to last a little while, thanks.
-Talk to an "English Speaking" medical professional who actually understands english MEDICAL TERMS.
-Convince said Medical "Professional" that the correct prescription for me is the universally-prescribed antibiotic confirmed by 100% of internet medical sites, my healthcare provider and my boyfriend's nurse-practitioner mother and NOT, in fact, some wussy, low-dose, half-assed Japanese "antibiotic." Thank you, Japan, for helping me develop an immuno-compromise.**
-Not have to consider having Bactroban and/or &^#$ing VANCOMYCIN (aaaaaaaaaaaagh!) shipped from the states to fix me completely for good. Not as if Vancomycin could get through customs. Not as if any of this stuff *legally* can.

Whatever. I'll just live with it if I have to. Like I said, physical symptoms are negligible at this point. The psychological and stress damages have already been done though. For good.

**NOTE: Aside from this and the communication barrier, I really have little problem with the Japanese health-care system. The National Health Insurance here costs me about $8.50 a month and covers 80% of medical costs. This means doctors visits and prescriptions come out to about $10 each and the rest of that is refunded to me by my institution. So the sh!++y medical care is free, at least.
