Day 5 Of Death - Love Them And Hate Them

From what part of hell this came from I will not know, don`t want to know, I have lost this battle but I will never lose the war. This has got me and it has me big time. I felt a little better yesterday and I have began to eat , a little, beets and fruit is always better than just broth. What I have not disclosed was that when I was shuffled around to another doctor office on Friday, the new doctor gave me antibiotics I am allergic to and I caught it so I was not sent to the e.r. with my tongue swollen into my airway, however since they would not see Tony, I have been feeding those to him so he would not have to go to the e.r. due to this crud. But I still had 8 pills from last summer and I am using those to keep this at bay. Its Monday, My phone call day. This is different because I am chewing out a few doctors offices for their lack of ... of? Being a freakin doctor. I bet I sound good too, since I can barely talk and the coughing. First no one if answering the phones at the one office I was sent to, next I called my regular doctor and he is out for 2 days and I get someone else, I tell her the problem and she gets me someone wanting me to go sit all day at this same doctors office, I said " absolutely not! I sat there all day Friday sick as a dog and all this doctor had to do was read my medicine allergies listed, I want antibiotics called into the pharmacy so I can drive thur and pick them up because I cant even walk I am so sick, plus I got a sick man in the house too." She said she was on it, we will see. Next was Tony`s lung doctor, Doctor yum yum. He did not want to give him anything but he was also seeing him on day one of not feeling good, by Friday, yes the day you will NOT get a doctor there, he was sick as well. I called and told the ... the... person, cause to them its against some rule that you ever talk to a doctor, that he is now in full blow flu and that I have been feeding him the antibiotics that I received, They do not know I cannot take them but they may not be strong enough for Tony since he is 130 pounds heavier than me. So now its the waiting game, who if either of us will get medication? I really really hate doctors and the way the office works but I have to love them as well because once you get passed the front they can get you healed up, well with the one exception of me getting something that could have killed me deader than I feel at the moment. To pour salt into wounds, I could be in Florida at this moment with my toes in the sand and the ocean breeze of the gulf in my face. How is your day?

I'm at the tail end of that sickness, coughing until I peed my pants, a couple times:( Sorry, for the awful details, but it's the truth! I hope you and Tony can get a proper medication, so you can both start feeling a lot better! I will pray for you, Andria:)

That sounds really rough, I hope that you get to the bottom of things and get everything turned around. I had a good day today, crazy busy, but really good.

Bless your heart, I know you wonder "what next?" I'm so thankful you didn't take the med you're allergic to. I'm praying you'll get to see a real doctor soon and you and Tony will be well for Christmas.

Were you planning to go to Florida and had to cancel? That’s horrible the doctors office gave you a prescription for a medication you are allergic to and sounds like a lethal allergy! My family doctor did that twice once to my mother whose organs all started shutting down because of it and once to my daughter who got hives and her throat started closing off as she couldn’t breathe.

Sounds like you are slowly getting better. That was a big mistake giving you the wrong meds. Glad you spotted it.

Gosh, you are really doing it hard at the moment. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon - and that you get given what you need.

WTF? If Tony has the flu he DOES NOT NEED antibiotics! Antibiotics work by either disabling the ribosomes of bacteria or bursting the cell walls of bacteria. Guess what influenza is? A VIRUS! No ribosomes or cell wall. You are just depleting the good bacteria in his gut for no good reason.

stop trippin its sulfa based and was issued to me for the same problem. The doctor knows what to give but does not have sense to se I am allergic to that one.

@andriaperry Your doctor is a quack if he gave your antibiotics for the flu.

It was in the 50's all day, so it was good. I'll take wearing shorts in December anytime. It's cold as hell tonight, though.

I'm so glad you caught that prescription before taking it. They should be bending over backwards, because couldn't you file a lawsuit?

How awful that you have gone through all this. Was the medication something containing Cipro?
