[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 330181, member: 84"] I love you guys, you know that? :) I forced husband to spend the very last of our money to go out and buy a "real" cough medication that lasts more than 3 hrs. Not really that expensive but when you are broke it's expensive. Didn't care. Still don't. The liquid cough medication I was using.......wasn't worth snot. (no pun intended) Not sure what it is for cuz I can't read the print on the bottle. All I know is it wasn't cutting it. I caught a 3-4 hr nap this morning after taking the new cough medication. Most sleep I've had since like sat or sun. My fever broke during the nap. Between the non-stop coughing, fever, and lack of sleep I just was overwhelmed. I feel better. Weak as a newborn kitten, but better. easy child chased down the fam doctor at the hospital today while at work. He knows I'm both broke and stubborn. And the thought of going to an ER full of sick people when my immune system is in the toilet....is like asking me to walk thru hot coals. So asked him for a cough medication with fenagrien (sp) so I can sleep and an antibiotic to help with the secondary infection. I'm pretty sure it's not pneumonia. been there done that 3 times and while this is horrid, it's different. Yes, I'm coughing up some mighty nasty stuff, but with pneumonia I either can't get it up or I feel like I'm drowing in mucus. This is a [B][I]really nasty[/I][/B] bug that knocked my legs out cuz I could. not. sleep. period. Without rest my body was loosing the fight. I wasn't remembering to take my normal medications and with them my critical medication foltex which is a seriously concentrated vitamin my body has to have to function normally due to the CRF. Once I got up from my nap I took them and made myself something nutritious to eat. I can actually have a coherrent thought today. :) h1n1? Dunno. Possbile. Might be. Could be something else equally nasty. Guess it doesn't matter. I think I picked it up when I went to see mother in law at the nursing home. Of course after the visit they called and told us all residents are quarintined to their rooms due to some really nasty viruses brought in by visitors over the holiday.ugh easy child should arrive in about an hour with the medications from the fam doctor and to check me out for herself.
