we both were hit about 14 days ago - coughing , sneezing , stuffy sinuses ... the works !
went to see our doc who said it was a "bacteruial infection" that's making the rounds ; so he put us on antibiotics for five days - it's a new kind : "azithromycin" . (it was the first time we ever saw him wearing a mask - very sensible , we thought ).
felt much better after five days but the doc was not satisfied ; so he put us on another five day 'course of action' . took the last tablet yesterday , have to see the doc tomorrow . still a bit of a cough left ; we'll see what the doc says .
we did not have any fever and felt reasonably well - but are quite tired - sleeping 8-9 hours !
i think we need really warm weater to shake of the cough - outdoor activities always seem to help .
cough , cough ... hbg


This sounds like the psycho flu that has got a hold of poor little me. I wonder if my doc will come out with a mask as well Laughing
If the docs are wearing masks, there must be something nasty floating around out there.

Montana, I've been slammed with the same flu some weeks back. So was our intern. Sounds like the same stuff. All you can do is sleep or stare into the wall. hope you're feeling better.

Montana,

Yep .... sounds like what I had about 3 weeks ago. Only I also had a sore throat to go along with it and no voice for a day. Was pretty bad.

Must not have gotten my immune system built back up cause for a couple of days now, I've had a cold and all I wanna do is sleep. Round 2 Rolling Eyes I think most of this cold is due to extreme lack of sleep for almost a week while I was at my Dad's. Between helping him and trying to keep up with work ... sleep was not much of an option. Run down immune system equals getting sick for me. Almost everytime!

Get well, (((((Montana)))))


No sore throat here, but I don't think I've ever slept this much in my life. lack of sleep is unavoidable at the shop at this time of year, so working 70 hour weeks runs me down and leaves me wide open for this stuff.
I hope you're taking care of yourself, Brooke because I know they won't see me at work for at least another week. Who knows, maybe doc will give me 2 weeks ;-)

thanks for the get well and you make sure you keep yourself well, girlfriend!

i think i read somewhere that one is not allowed to bring it into japan , since it's considered addictive ?!?

Awwwww, it was a beautiful day here and I would have loved to head out to the garden, but I'm still too weak to do anything <sigh>.
Looks like rain for the rest of the week, so I guess I can forget about getting anything done outside.

Glad you're feeling better and I can't wait to get there myself.

oh, and I never even heard of vick's vapor rub being addictive, but I can see how it would.
