Being sick for the Holidays sucks..
I haven't been major sick in years.. get a flu shot every year (got the H1N1 vaccine too)...
About a week ago it started with just a sore throat, I attributed to the low humidity due to cold weather. I set up humidifiers in the house, upped my B12 and Vitamin C, and figured I'd be good to go. After a miserable week getting progressively worse I finally broke down and went to the doc yesterday..
walking pneumonia, asthma brought on bronchial irritation and sinusitis. I'm on an ceftin, prednisone, OTC cough medicines along with vicodin (doc says taking vicodin works better than cough medicine with codeine), OTC meds for my stuffed up nose, and an inhaler. I guess I've been throwing PVCs like crazy too (he did an EKG along with the chest xray) which explains why sometimes I really tight and fluttery in my chest.
Now all I can do is hope some of these meds have helped by Thursday night. I've got all the present bought, but I haven't had the energy to wrap a dang thing.
