[QUOTE="Shari, post: 140682, member: 1848"] NOW I'm gettin' worried. Part of what worries me is that other than being tired, I don't feel anything but "normal". Again, I have resigned myself to accepting THIS??? Wow. I went to doctor again today for yet another follow-up. She's trying to kick the infection before surgery. Not only is it not gone, its worse. I now have ear infections to go with the sinus infection. And that's after 10 days on Avelox, or something to that affect, which cost me $7.55 PER PILL. Ugh. She put me on yet another antibiotic. I'm to stay on it til surgery, and, of course, call in ASAP if I feel worse. [I]WORSE? What's "worse"? [/I]Considering I don't technically feel bad now...just feel the same as I have for going on 4 or 5 months now...Guess I've gotten used to it. I have gained 15 pounds this winter when I usually don't worry about weight. I am usually the queen of hyper, yet I have napped after work more times this winter than I have in the history of my life. I force myself out of bed in the mornings. I was beginning to think depression, but if I don't go to work, I spend my day looking forward to something, so I don't think that's it...after today, I think I'm chronically infected and worn to the bone. This is antibiotic round 5 for this particular infection. Potentially round 7-9 (I've lost count how many I've been on in the past 5 months). Hurry up, April 14. PS. Here's a kicker. Four years ago I was severely allergic to a few things. If I got near them, it was instant mucas-festival. One year ago I was retested and was allergic to 85% of what I was tested for. Over 60 things, plus food allergies. I haven't had an allergy attack since before December. I live in the same house, same pets, same lifestyle, same everything. I even dusted my house and moved furniture last weekend and never so much as sneezed - something a year ago that would have nearly killed me. Wonder what's up with that...? [/QUOTE]
