Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Becky, I sincerely hope you can fight this without going to the hospital with all the flu there. I would think that your Dr. would prefer you be able to recover at home. Did you try to get samples of this new anti from his office - since it is new maybe they might have samples.............I hope the new anti does the trick. Becky where do you live?

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Becky....I read recently read an article concerning the flu that is going around, and it said that one of the symptoms with this flu virus is that it produces vomiting and coughing up yellow/green mucus. So perhaps you are not getting well is because this is viral not bacterial. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Oh Becki, you poor thing. Something has to be done about this illness. My husband and mom finally put their foot down and got a doctor to give me proper treatment. If no one else will be pushy for you, you have to be yourself. You are in a bad place right now. You really need to go to the ER. Can anyone go with you? If I were there I'd go with you (wearing a mask of course) but I'd do it. I know that doesn't really help any. Sorry. This really sucks! Please keep us posted if you can. My heart just aches for you and Norma because, God! I know how frustrated you are and how awful you feel. I know none of these words do any good, but I can help in the way of prayers. Everyone can. I'm going to have a Mass said for you as well. Hey, I think it helps.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Maggie, Thanks for your prayers. Just knowing that others care eases the burden. I have never found such thoughtful, caring people in my 69 years. God Bless, Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
