Toward the end of 2011, I started getting really sickly.  I was trying to fight it off by taking lots of rest and self-medication.  However, they weren’t enough, because I got even sicker while working in the office or even on vacation.  I decided to visit the doctor finally, so I went to St. Luke’s [...]
