My aunt became allergic to sunlight when she was 17. It’s really a thing. Or you could have, like, porphyria. So do go see a doc and get that ruled out, yeah?
It’s actually a surprisingly common “rare” thing in young women. I’m just. Not young. (I’m 37 now. I think. What year is it?)
Why did I google porphyria no, I definitely don’t have that.
I’m getting my car worked on today, which is historically something I’ve never been able to do in a timely fashion, because the dealership has an automated system for you to make appointments. You go through and you pick what applies to you from the drop-down, you fill in additional comments, and then it brings up the next available slot for that sort of service, and then gives you a list of alternative available openings after that date in a range of times. So I picked a soonish convenient time, and it’s all set, and they texted me to confirm yesterday.
If you could do that with doctors, I would have this taken care of. As it is, no. Also– you pay at the end. With my doctor’s office, you pay a co-pay, and then sometimes they send you an additional bill and sometimes they don’t, and I have such an inability to process my mail that I know there was a doctor bill I missed but it can’t have been much but I know there was something I missed, they’ve sent me repetitive mail about it, but I haven’t opened any because I can’t, so. I can’t call my doctor.
I will never get this checked out, let’s be real here, until something acute happens and I can’t function anymore. That’s just how this works. If they had an online site where I could log in and find out if I had an outstanding balance or not, and pay it, and find out when the next available time slots were, and figure out if I was going to get the Too Nice And Also Fatshamey nurse practitioner or not– I’d do that, but this, I’m just not going to do.
