  Save your sick days for when you are really sick. Don&apos;t come to work sick, Don&apos;t come to work sick and finally. DON&apos;T COME TO WORK SICK. That goes double for kids and school. <br>Your&apos;s truly a retired paramedic.<br>Also, Benadryl making you sleepy is not a allergic reaction.

  Doctor explaining about new research, look things up and such.<br><br>I have fabry disease and the doctor testing me for it had no idea about it. I was his first case.<br><br>Uncle died, medical research discovered it. X linked disease (gran must have had it) mum got tested, she has it. I got tested, I have it.<br><br>Doctor was so excited.<br><br>Moved to new area, new doctor. Doctor didn&apos;t kniw about it either.<br><br>I have studied it and spend a lot of time in hospital and with specialists. Even basic information can help. I have a card with the disease name, the medical code, description of disease and possible symptoms. I also know my mutation.<br><br>Saves a huge amount of time as the doctor doesn&apos;t have to Google it.
