Sick

[magnolia]

So glad you are feeling better I hate being sick too (but just about everyone does). If I start feeling cold or sinus symptoms coming on, I'll usually take NyQuil or something at night for a couple nights to "knock" it on out. If I get to the point where over the counter meds aren't working, I'll go to the doctor. Having worked in the medical field for over 13 years and seeing what I've seen, not to mention being a mom to 2 kids, I've gotten pretty good at "self diagnosing" what's wrong with me. So, when I go see my doctor - he knows I'm sick! He walks in and all he does is ask me what I think I have - I'll tell him and he'll say he's gonna make sure I'm right - I'm usually always right but have missed a couple of ear infections I didn't know I had! He'll then ask me if I want 250 or 500 which means do I want a shot of 250 Rocephin or 500 - depending on how I feel, I tell him which dose I want. I'm HORRIBLE at taking medication and I usually waste it - plus, a shot makes me feel better a lot sooner than oral meds do. My doctor tells me all the time he doesn't make any money off me cause I usually only go see him once a year - if that!
