OH NO!! :(( I really, really hope you don't have it - and am so glad you finally went to the doctor. That's nothing to be messing around with :(
I've always been of the opinion that anti-vax people are idiots, but I have a new RAGE!HATE against them now because I have a child who's too young to be vaccinated against most things - she's only had her first round of shots. So when we arrived at her daycare a couple weeks back and there was a sign on the door that said "one confirmed case of pertussis" and she happened to wake up the next morning with (what turned out to be) her very first cold, I COMPLETELY LOST MY SHIT. I have a new appreciation for the decisions parents make and try to cut people some slack, but I put on my JUDGING YOU hat when it comes to the anti-vax movement. Jenni McCarthy is not a doctor. She's an idiot, and if you listen to her, then you're an idiot too. And a bad parent. And have no sense of social responsibility. Etc. RAGE.
I'm sorry you have so many meds but I'm glad they were able to put you on something to help, and that you haven't had to be hospitalized. I assume you have to stay home from work?
*HUUUUUGS* Please take care of yourself. I'll say "get well soon!" even though it might be a long recovery road - because we can always hope for 4 weeks instead of the outside of 5, right?
