 I was at the hospital having my treatment today...
	I was at the hospital having my treatment today...... and I get a bit chatty to the nurses, they like me, I'm polite'n'stuff and make them lol. So I was in the hall asking one of them a question (wasn't just waffling) when this patient comes up, probably about 40s, in a super posh voice and what is probably an expensive dress, interupts me goes "Start my inflixinab.... now.", the nurse goes "We're just making it up" (it takes 30 minutes or soo to sort out or whatever.) and the rude-women turns to walk off so I say to the nurse "How rude ! I think the word she was looking for is 'please' followed by a 'thank you'" and the rude women gives me an evil-stair, so I look back at her, then turn to the nurse and go loudly "Aaannnny way.... blah blah blah", so the rude women goes "Hmpth" and walks off.
Then this other women who was sitting next to me was the most hard-work person i've come across, some women in her mid-50s. Kept on going on about "The worst thing that can happen to someone, my mum died, 3 years ago... that's the worst thing that can happen to someone, did you know that? and it happened to me !" and "They stole her german passport from the 30s" and kept on talking about her skin falling off and depression and wah wah wah wah. She was inflicting her OhWoeIsMe on me like a succubus of lolz, but I had an inpentirable shield of apathy. I wasn't rude, just wasn't interested.
Oh gee oh gosh oh my, I'm gonna marry a member of NHS staff one day. Or a vet. One of the kind ones though, not the hard-nosed ones. They're so swell.

	Keeping in mind that I don't really want to know the ins'n'outs of what my medication does*....... It knocks out a huge chunk of my immume system so my body doesn't attack itself, but doesn't damage it to the point of my imume system not growing back. It makes me really vulnrable for a few days while my body alters, so I know not to really go out for the first day or soo, and if I catch anything like a cough/cold in the first week, I should go straight to A&E.
I know it's a really expensive treatment, about £2500 a go (every 8 weeks), because getting funding was a complete and utter nightmare. They give you 3 doeses, and if it works, your doctors have to make a case to your PCT. In reality they'd rather I have it every 6 weeks, if money didn't matter.
But the stuff is good, I know I don't sound well on here, but where as before I'd get 2 good weeks out of 8, now I tend to get 2 bad weeks out of 8. It seems to be some kind of mircial cure being used for all sorts of things. Where as the idea was for Crohns & Colitis, every time I go now there are people getting it for other things, like some skin conditions.
* Not saying anyone who does is right/wrong, some people like to know, others would rather not. Both are alright ways of these things.

With the treatment
Looking at it coldly, and hopefully without revealing too much about my income or council tax, and I'm excluding how long I've been on the treatment and how long I've been paying "into the system", because I'm awfully tired and don't have the head for the maths.
The treatment allows for me to mantain full employment. I reckon, doing some quick-maths, I pay [ballparking] slightly over 1/2 of that back in directly, then there is the fact that where I work profits on my work and thus pay more into the system... and the clients profit from the company I work for's work...etc etc. Not saying that's all down to me, the company would run if I wasn't there, but I'm still a part of it in that respect.
Then excluding the fact that should I be mugged, I would like to use the police / if my house burns down, I'd like to use the fire brigade. And consultations from specalists, GP Visits, investigations; because I can't put a figure to that. Although I don't use schools, but thats not to say I don't gain from them eaither.
I'm also excluding my parent's contribution, because its also untangable, but should be considered.
I'm not sure how to calculate that I'm a home-owner too, who has 10 years living on a rent that I've essenchally paid myself (again, putting into the system indirectly) and a year of being a home-owner.
Although I have tried, I've never successfully gotten any 'benefits' in any guise its been over my adult life.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
without the treatment
Now let's say I didnt' get the treatment, and forgetting that my parents would step forward....I would be relient on The System completly. I would have :-
- The same GP appointments,
- probably more consultations as I'd need to be seen more reguarly.
- more hospital admissions
- housing benefit as I wouldn't be able to work.
- Whatever they're calling "sick pay" at the time
- I wouldn't be paying anything into The System that I'm paying now.
- I wouldn't be adding to the economy with frivilous spending.
- I would require more goverment services in the respect of admin of sorting out these benefits.
- The humanitarian point of view of letting someone get ill.

	I had some codine on sunday that I got from an out-of-hours, its the first time I've touched it in about 6 years.It had a minimal effect, I remember describing the feeling "Like getting a hug from your favorite childhood teddy bear that was also a hot water bottle." or "Those moments when you're a child and have just gotten out the bath and run into one of your parent's arms who is holding out a towel that has been put on the radiator as they hug you dry"..... but this time it just made me a bit tired.
Weed is, for me, very different. And I really don't like the phsycological effect. I remember it making me repeat actions and thoughts over and over, hated it. Opiates don't do that to me, and ones that are equal to your tollerance, you can still think properly.
