    Default Oh god I am sick AGAIN and BAD!

    I can't believe this. First I had an earache about a month ago. It went on for a couple weeks with no other real sypmtoms really so I finally went to the doctor. They had to give me two courses of antibiotics before I started feeling better. Then I got a cold. I start recovering from the cold that kept me in bed basically for five days and then my earache comes back. Last night I start getting these horrible body aches and a scratchy throat and have a little cough. Well this morning I am SOOOO miserable! I keep wheezing and coughing and I am sure I'm running a fever (I don't have a thermometer) and I am shivering and feel like I've been beaten with a baseball bat. I could hardly sleep last night and even took Nyquil! Now it's 7:30 a.m. and I have to work in court at 8:45. I do NOT like working in court as it is and now I have to work in court feeling like I'm dying and it's too early to find out if someone can cover for me. I kind of wish someone would come in there and shoot me so I don't have to suffer anymore.

    I don't know if I should go to the doctor again? I mean what are the going to do, give me MORE antibiotics? I've already taken more of them in the past month than I have in the past year and the last ones were so strong they made me really nauseated and have a nasty taste in my mouth. I feel like crying I'm so miserable. Please somebody shoot me.

    oh no! poor thing.....i hope you make it through court ok. definately go to the doc again...the initial antibiotics might not have worked properly, in which case you'll probably need more (maybe you have a resistant strain of something?). i know the side effects suck, but going untreated could be worse. i think i heard that some bad ear infections can puncture your eardrum and cause all sorts of other problems. this is, of course, if your ear is still hurting. otherwise, you could have picked up the flu and won't need more antibiotics...but you should check with the doc anyways. feel better!

    Don't mean to scare ya hun but that exactly how I felt when I had pneumonia.

    Call your doc to get an emergency appt after court. If your BP, pluse ox, and or fever is off then you will probably need x-rays to rule it out.

    Worst case scenario, you have it and spend a few days to a week or so in the hospital. Best case? He double doses you full of leviquin nd you get to chill at home!!

    Either way? I'm thinking of ya dear heart!

    I haven't been back to the doc since the first earache and luckily somebody relieved me at work today so I came home and rested. I have shitty insurance and don't really have a doctor so if I go it's going to be to the shitty walk-in clinic again. I had a great doctor and he left town, at least last I heard. I sure as hell can't afford a chest X-ray unless it's absolutely necessary. Somebody at work told me that there is something going around and she saw on the news that it can relapse which I guess is what's happening. I got off tomorrow so if I'm still this bad I'll go to the doctor I guess. I actually felt somewhat better today after taking an Ibuprofin. It seemed to really help the body aches.

    I had this great doctor that was recommended to me by a really sweet guy I worked with who is a defense attorney. The doctor was soooo nice and told me he'd do whatever he could to help me out since I was a friend of the guy who recommeded him. I tried to get an appt. with him about a month ago and his office said he was on a leave of absense because his mom was sick and he might not be back. I am so upset! He only charged me like $50 to see him and was realistic and didn't just throw a prescription for antibiotics at me if I didn't need it. I just decided to look him up on the AMA website and he's no longer listed And then I looked him up on the HCSO website and he's got an arrest on there from '04. His pic is funny as hell too but I'll be nice and won't post it on here. So maybe he ended up losing his license or something and I'm heartbroken. I really liked this doctor and he prescribed me my vicodin for migraines and would see me when I'm sick and charge me only $50 and give me whatever samples he could find.

    Anyone in Tampa know a good primary care doctor?
