Sick Sick Sick!!!!

[BrothaBob]

Ok, I am officially tired of being sick. I have had the f-ing cold now for two weeks to the day and it is getting no better. Originally, the Dr. told me that it should only take 2-3 days to get rid of it and to use OTC medicines to help with the symptoms. Well DAY 14 is today and I am still dying over here. Congestions, stuffy nose, head ache, tooth ache, body ache, neck ache.....if its above my shoulders it really hurts.

The Dr. is finally going to see me and only because I happened to mention that I dropped 15 pounds in two weeks and still have no appetite.

So, how is everyone else feeling?

I am right there with ya Brotha, I have been sick now for 8 days straight and the soonest I can get a doctors appt. is tommorow. Been taking everything OTC and nothing works. Really sucks being sick in the summer time.

so sorry you have the bug. Get a bottle of morgan, warm shots up, and finish it off, then call me and we will work on the head ache

You've got the disease. The only cure is to get your butt out on the water and fish till you feel better.

You guys will probally think i am full of s#it.....But here it goes anyway. BrothaBob.....Take 4 adivll twice a day, and drink as much water as your bladder can hold. I am not kidding. Try it I promise you will feel much better. Alot of my friends dont believe...then they try it...and become belivers.
You'll start feeling better by the morning...I promise. Tom

Well, I have been to the Dr. Apparently the "little summer cold" she thought I had while diagnosing me originally over the phone turned out to be a severe sinus and ear infection. (who knew....my ear didn't even hurt) She put me on 3 different medications. Lets just say....I went to bed at 7pm last night and only woke up once....felt a little better when I first woke up this morning but that hasn't lasted long. Starting to feel like poop again.

Tried fishing this past Saturday.....big mistake......nothing like having a sinus / ear problem messing with your equilibrium and then heading out on a boat. I made less than an hour before I came back in.

As for the (4) advil a day thing......I already take (2) 800mg Ibuprofens a day for arthritis in my knees......I don't think I could handle anymore without burning a hole in my stomach........LOL
