It started out as what I thought was a small cold last Saturday. Sunday my head was throbbing and I had a low grade fever all day long. I just could not shake it. Monday, I called in to work. I felt slow and dopy all day long. My eyes hurt and teeth startted to ache. Tuesday I went to work and it was rough. I came home beat and hot. Wendsday. I know I had a sinus infection again. I was spitting up green snot and blood. My eyes and teeth ached more. I went in to work because I had a late appointment. I called in to the doc to have him send a standard amoxcillian perscription to the walgreens. It was all set up when he called in to say he needed to see me. - Ahhhh. My head feels like its going to pop off. Im crying in my sleep and I can not sleep well. 930 am I have a walk in appt with my doc. I tell him that last night was a very hard night for me. I have a 102 fever that wont break. My neck, back throat, ear, teeth and face hurt. The nurse says its the flu. I correct her and say - I know my body and its not the flu. Wrong type of body achs and no cough or lung issues. The doc confirs w/ me and says my lungs are mostly clear. Again 875 mg amox.... folks thats a horse pill. Not quite 1 gram of pure meds 2x a day for ten days + all the tramidol cocktails I have been making to stop feeling pain and to slow fever every 4 hours.1 tramidol and 3 gel caps or tylenol..... thats allot of pills...
---------------------------
Well its 2 days on pills after 2 days pure bed rest and soup. the days blur together with a small run out to walgreens to buy real coke and not diet soda. of course i shoveled a but because in chicago when your sick it will snow 8 inched and drop in temp. ... I'm no where near 100% maby 65-70 % but I feel much better. I still spit up green snot and blood, but its less green ans less bloody. and the strep I caught early enough not to get too bad.... at one point I woke up at 3 am had coffee a coke a chocolate pie and watched the weather channel for an hour before going back to bed.... my clothes were sweaty even in the cold.....

folks please listen to your body and go see a doc when you can .....
