I dunno what I managed to get

My boyfriend came to visit from Florida (for a little more than 2 weeks). He's never been to Canada, let alone Canada in the winter. You see where this one's going? Oh, and he's type 1 diabetic.

So he gets here, 2 wonderful days together, then bam, he's ill. Fever, shivers, etc. Coughing (dry cough) and feeling miserable.

So I baby him through the week, and I'm feeling just dandy. He improves (thankfully his fever broke quickly) and then I get what I have.

We both went to the doctor together. He was told his sinuses were to blame, put on the same antibiotic as I was, but I was told I have strep. He's still got his tonsils, so I don't get why he didn't get strep, I did... and our illnesses differed that much (I didn't have a fever at all).

Yeah, I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow. Supposed to go back to work (some vacation huh?) tomorrow but if I'm still in this condition I may have to haul butt back to the clinic again.

Erin, yup 10 day prescription amoxicillin. To be honest, I think I've been on this antibiotic so much in my 32 years that it literally doesn't do anything for me if I get whacked with something like this. This'll be yet another time I return to the clinic due to this drug not working if that turns out to be the case.
