sinus infection, bronchitis, and the flu

[rayzor]

yep, that's me. i worked two full nights with that going on, but thought i just needed to tough it out. finally went to the doctor thinking that maybe i just had a sinus infection and a cold (which i get about once a year from allergies, but i usually catch early) and got told all of that.

the cough was new, but despite it burning every time i cough i didn't think it was a big deal. i was only going to work two days this next week (sunday night and monday night) but i don't think that's gonna happen.

I've got layers of clothes and blankets on and a heater running in my bedroom and i still can't get warm. my chest just burns and when i cough it really hurts. I've got a ringing in my ears and i just ache all over. i haven't been sick like this in years, probably 5, and before that it had been maybe a decade.

the last time i got sick like this i didn't go to the doctor for over a week and the doctor gave me levaquin, which made my heart feel like i was getting beat on by a drum line and when i went off of it i had to go to the emergency room in an ambulance because i had all the symptoms of. heart attack, but it was really just the side effects of the levaquin. moral of that story...levaquin is some bad poo.

I rarely get sick but this year I had a major cold that lasted a week, strep throat and scabies.

Here's hoping 2015 is a healthier year!

Now my daughter's school is being hit hard. Flu shots today for me and the kid.

Everyone around me seems to be getting sick right now.  Nasty stuff too.

 

 

Make sure you drink as much water/pedalite/gatorade as possible.

 

And IPA's don't forget those.

If you have the flu you should get a tamiflu prescription and take lots of ibuprofen

The urgent cares are flooded these last few weeks. Wash your hands!

Both my boys have the flu, I don't have it yet but I suspect it's just a matter of time.

OD'ing on Airborne and making sure to wash hands and trying to keep things disinfected...

I just went through something during the past two days and it sucked. I was traveling for work and ended up getting sick in the hotel room. I had a fever last night when I got home, but I woke up feeling a lot better this morning. Let me tell you what's not fun... Driving two hours when you're feeling like crap.

Guess who had a flu shot in October and feels fine?

 

Sorry you're going through so much at once. Maybe add a humidfier to your room. Heaters dry out the air which can cause further irritation in your throat.
