This may sound childish or stupid. First off I never had a pap smear. I choose not to get married, be intimate with a man or have children. I honestly can't deal with being in a romantic relationship. I have had boyfriends in the past but I just was so boy crazy. I have aspergers and a learning disability.I wonder about pap smears and IC. I read that for women with IC having a pap smear is so painful. Have any of you cried when a doctor or nurse inserted the speculum? I don't like to show myself without clothes to anyone. Is it ok to cry at doctors offices as adults? I'm 33. I'm fine with vaccines and blood tests though. I don't cry, scream or yell. I'm sure some adults do.
I also do acupuncture twice a week for the IC and acid reflux disease. Has it helped a lot of you? Or has the acupuncture made your IC worse? The acupuncture doctor told me how antibiotics are bad for the body. Acupuncture can cure a UTI. I don't know. Can needles actually cure a bacterial infection? I rather take antibiotic to completely get rid of the UTI. I take Duricef for UTIs. I can't tolerate Cipro, septra, sulfa, or any penicilin type drugs. Is it ok to take Duricef for example on a monthly basis? At times it gets me nauseous that I have to drink sprite or ginger ale with tons of ice.It does irritate me because of the acidity. Several days ago I did go get acupuncture done. I was in there crying, not yelling or screaming. He put the needles on my left wrist which is the anxiety point. Have you felt your funny bone? Well it was worse pain than that. I felt the pain radiate from the elbow down to tips of fingers. I couldn't even drive with my left hand. I couldn't turn a door knob. I cried so much because my left arm was hurting so bad. While I was crying in the office, his female assistant and the front desk young woman were laughing. What a coincidence! Laugh at the patient as soon as the patient is in tears! So rude and unprofessional. It was the perfect moment. There were no patients in the waiting area. The room I was in is by the waiting area. I don't care how old the patient is. Whether 5 years old, 15 years old, 80 years old, etc. Whenever a patient cries, it is rude for any doctor or nurse or admin staff to laugh at the patient. We have different tolerances of pain. I guess I won't be going back to this acupuncture. He didn't laugh at me but who knows if he laughed at me once I left the office. That's the problem I face. I can cry when I'm scared at the doctors or when the doctor or nurse did something to make me cry whether by words or when they check me. How do I know what happens once I leave? Doctors, nurses, admin staff can complain about so and so patient to their co workers, families or friends. But maybe the laughing wasn't about me crying at the acupuncture. I do understand Korean. I'm half Korean. Maybe the two women were laughing at something else, who knows. But what perfect timing! I cry, the two women laugh. Have any of you been through this if you are in yours 20s or older? Have any of you cried, then the doctors or nurses laugh at you? Or you just simply cried at the doctors?
