This is getting ridiculous! I have been sick off and on since Thanksgiving. Sinus infection, cold, congestion, general chest, head crap.
I did 21 days of antibiotics and 4 days after I finished them, bam! This stuff is back again with a venegeance! My head hurts, my chest hurts, my rib cage hurts. I have a sort throat, congestion, practically no voice, coughing, my face hurts, my hair hurts! I know I have another sinus infection, or maybe the other one never got cleared up, but I think it's more than that this time. When do you know it's pneumonia? I just don't want to keep calling the doc...my regular doc is out on sabatical studying for his boards so I have to see the PA. He's good, but I just don't have the energy. I've been in bed for the last week. I went to my big shindig Saturday night, but other than that, I have been NO WHERE! And I didn't even stay that long! BTW, I looked great! I know I am whinning...

I had pneumonia years ago and i just remember my rib cage hurting and having trouble breathing. I am not foaming at the mouth! LOL!
I know I should call the doc. I just don't want to get dressed and go...I have no energy. Whooping cough? I haven't heard of any cases here. That's all I need. I am not coughing like that.

I do have a humidifier! And I am using a steam inhaler to keep the gook running. As for antibiotics, I am allergic to most of them, so I don't have much choice!

Just go to the doctor. If you have the energy to attend a blacktie gala, you have the energy to flop into a pair of sweats and go hork some phlegm for the doc. Just go.

I agree with Cindy. Get thee to a Doc or maybe even the ER is a good idea. I'm worried about you...enough is enough, already..

I agree with Sally, maybe the ER is the place to go. Just go in your pj's. If they are flannel and warm, why not. Can't look any worse then sweats. Besides it's not Ms America, you are sick, it's ok to look as sick as you feel.
 Please get your self well.
