Health

I am usually a pretty healthy person. I don't have any chronic health issues and I am not taking any medications, prescribed or over the counter, on any regular basis. I will get the occasional cold and once in awhile get a stomach bug but most of the time I am "as I should be". The last two weeks have changed things. The cold/flu that we got two weeks ago and that lasted a long time just hasn't completely gone. I have had ear pain (I actually can't even hear out of that ear) and sinus pressure in one cheek accompanied by headaches and lots of nose blowing. I have been taking all sorts of over the counter stuff over the last two weeks and nothing seems to be helping me.

So I emailed my doctor with my symptoms and she prescribed me some antibiotics. (Hurray! I didn't have to actually go in and see the doctor) I went to pick them up today and took the first pill. Within hours my cold symptoms have changed into stomach virus type symptoms. Not actually changed because I still can't hear and my head still aches. I just have added on the lovely trips to the bathroom to relieve my bowl or my belly of anything and everything that is inside. (Sorry about the "overshare") I called the ask a nurse to see if I should continue with the antibiotic. The papers the pharmacy gave me say that v. and d. are side effects. The nurse says it is just a coinsidence, that the drug wouldn't have cause this kind of reaction so quickly. What luck! I seem to have two sicknesses at the same time!?

I really hope I return to my normal state of affairs soon. I am sure my husband and kids would like to have the non-cranky and more available me back. This version of me isn't as fun..... for anyone!
