I'm glad they gave you the megadose antibiotics. When you said they gave you amoxicillin, I said to my self, "Amoxicillin's for pussys." But I didn't want to worry you.
It was for pussies!
Thanks all. This time it seems to be for real. My energy level is back up, no infection effects even after a full day's work. So, I'll just be trying to NOT get sick again this week.
<big>
Breathes sigh of relief...
Still can't hear! What?!?!
Someone recently here said it came back...
Keep up with the doc as to how it is going.
good news!
just stay away from this guy and you should be fine...
It's kind of hard to tell what's going on. As of last weekend I felt the ear infection was gone. The ears were clearing out over the course of the week until about thursday when they started to get a little cloggy again. I still don't feel ear infectiony. I also had a runny nose, sneezing, scratchy throat. So, I think I caught a fresh cold at the end of last week (I'm confusing even my self).
Lessee.
~ March 10-11 started to feel the cold come on while at my class.
~ that cold lasted 2 weeks and was fairly mild, started to feel better and had 2 drinks on the 23rd
~ 24th the ear infection started
~ 25th started first round of antibiotics
~ 31st started new round of antibiotics
~ April 2nd, feeling much better in re ear infection, but developing sneezing and runny nose
~ April 4, ears started to feel plugged up again, but not like it was during the ear infection
Looks like I ran into Region's cartoon, except mine was almost definitely a much smaller and younger version.
The crazy rollercoaster weather hasn't been helping anything I don't think. Seems like more people are sick than usual, for longer.

Probably. I had one illness after another when my kids first started going to school and catching this bug and that one. You're getting exposed to new things now that you're in a school with small kids.
I hope you feel better again soon.
I'll echo JPB. When I first started teaching, I was sick all the time. Eventually you become immune to everything.
Yes, that's what I hear. I got sick a lot when the kids I cared for started school. Then I thought I'd built up an immunity. This is my first year in the schools myself. And I do think that has something to do with it. But many teachers are sick at my school. Really sick. Even the veterans. I think it's just a bad year. And, I'm not sure I buy the weather related cold/flu thing either.
I got a flu shot this year and I haven't has so much as a sniffle. It might be a coincidence, but I usually get one doozy cold each winter. <knocks>
Flu shots? That's how the government gets the nanochips in you.

Beats having the guys in trench coats following me.
That's true -- there is a certain amount of freedom to be had.
Until the aliens come, of course.
Life where the aliens live might be better than life in the U.S. right now. Who knows?

I approve of nanochips that keep the flu away.
