• ...sleep sleep...

  So...the doctor says I have bronchitis.  Whether it's viral or not, she doesn't know.  But since she can't determine whether it is viral or not, she will not prescribe antibiotics.  Reasoning: a virus is poison in the system...antibiotics is another form of poison in your system...combining all that can only make you feel worst (which is very true- alot of times, antibiotics have made me feel crappier before feeling better).  Actually, i'd rather her not prescribe antibiotics right from the get go anyways.  Instead, I have a prescription for a nasal spray (which would be very good considering I also have slight sinus infection) and an asthma inhaler.  I'm not quite fond of the inhaler...that's like 60 dollars right there...ergs.  I'm wondering if my mother already has this specific puffer (i remember her having this round one)....so I could just use hers.  

  Her reasoning for this prescription was 1, the nasal spray clears out your airways from your nasal cavity down to your throat.  2, The inhaler helps your throat and your lungs.  Since it's a respiratory issue, that's the most direct way to treat it.  

  Also...she noted that I had an ulcer on my tonsils.  She also realized that I haven't gotten my tonsils removed (is that abnormal not to have them removed?).  She said that the ulcer is probably due to coughing so much (that why I tasted a little blood when I coughed this morning).   

  also, she told me to take tylenol or advil for the fever/chills and chest pains.  Since I have a gastro-intestinal issue, I can't take advil because it's harsher in the system....so my choice, tylenol.  although I went to the doctor and I didn't have a fever, she told me that I probably only have spikes of temperatures causing me to have chills.  

  So....bronchitis...you fiend.  how dare you make me cough till i feel like i'm dying! grrrrrrr....

  time for bed...hehehe. snuggle time with my stuffies  

  weeeeee
