Another whiny blog......LOL
Have been sick for quite some time. Last year it started around Thanksgiving and continued for months (thinking July). During that time I had x-rays, allergy tests, a lump was found on my thyroid, biopsied and found non-cancerous, they wanted me to have an MRI done, but I relented. Eventually I became healthy again and was able to go about my life.
This year it waited until February. By March, I finally relented and saw the doctor. Feeling extremely miserable was the final push. I went into the doctors office and I was running a fever (I had no idea) and determined to have an upper respiratory infection, sent home, lost 3 days of work and given a Zpack. In a few days I began to feel more human...my voice was gone...but I was feeling better. It has been almost a month and I still have a cough and that ran down feeling. I finally went back to see the doctor..I am stubborn..not a huge fan of seeing the doctor...so if I am going because I am sick...it's getting bad. She did not hear pneumonia, wheezing...but concerned about my complaint of heaviness and the chronic cough. I don't smoke, I don't inhale substances...... so, her answer we will try this time.......Prednisone. Let's hope it works.......
Dave told me...you realize one of the side efects is weight gain....well she is not too concerned as I have lost 6 pounds last time I saw her. The coughing, tiredness, being worn out...
