I’ve been sick with a sinus infection that has been going on for over a month now on and off. This time around, I was so sick that the doctor considered putting me in the hospital. I could hardly walk, was coughing non-stop and my head hurt so much that I had wanted to keep my eyes closed and stay in a dark room.
On top of all that, I was getting muscle spasms from coughing. One was so bad that the doctor could actually see it. Because of the diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis, there are many medications that I can’t take, including antibiotics and cough medicines. So it’s been hard for the doctor to come up with a real treatment plan that would work for me.
This time around, my doctor had to do something. So I got an injection of an antibiotic, one that I may have had a reaction to. I had to stay in the office for 20 minutes after to see if I was OK. Thankfully, I was. I was also given a prescription for another antibiotic and was told that if I felt worse, to go to the ER. If I had trouble breathing, to call 911.
Thankfully, I tolerated the medicine, the soup, the rest and the loving care from my family. I keep a box of tissues at hand at all times. I’m still not doing well but am much better than I was since Thursday. I hope to be catching up on my blog, Twitter and Facebook soon.
I miss you all.
Feel better soon and take care of yourself!
Sorry to hear things got so bad. Hope you feel better soon!!! Miss ya around the blogosphere and real life
