CRAP!!!!

Man, I feel horrible! And it's because I'm either dumb or stubborn, probably both. Let me explain; I get ear infections on the drop of the dime. I'm not kidding, I get them all the time. I use to go to the doctor every time I got one, but I was in there every other month and I got sick of it. By then, I was to the point where I hardly noticed the pain and just felt as if I had shoved cotton into my ears, and so I just ignore it the best I can. Here's the problem; since I ignore them, they spread to the other ear and eventually develop into sinus infections. Do you think I go to the doc then? NOPE! I wait until it has traveled down my throat (literally the mucus goes down my throat and gives me a sore throat and nausea) and into my lungs. I'm usually at the point where I'm coughing up crap, can breath unless I'm completely upright, and I can barely function because of the pressure in my head (this is usually a month or two after I got the original ear infection). The reason I go to the doctor, though, isn't because I chose to, usually my mom drags me there after she figured out that I was sick again. The thing that sucks the most is that I always have the same prescription (a 3-pack), and it takes forever to recover.
PLUS, maybe a month after I have recovered, the process starts all over again.
Right now I'm at the sore throat nauseous stage and I can feel my lungs start to get congested. I really should go to the doctor, but ow I'm a poor college student and can't really afford too, even if I did somehow find the time! So I'm going to wait as usual, mainly because I'm a baka, but that's just my opinion.
