RE: Viruses.......

[Guest guest]

Hi…. I hope this comes out okay because

when I clicked reply the font went to wingdings, and the words started way over

on the left. I had to adjust both, so I don’t know how it will end up. In

answer to you question Challis, I haven’t made the appt. yet. I’m

still debating whether to switch? My PCP I have now I like her, but she isn’t

very helpful with helping me manage all my stuff, and my hubby’s Dr. has

been very knowledgible , and more experience it seems with the chronically ill.

But………. I hate to give up on my present Dr, because she’s

good about prescribing whatever I need, and I don’t always have to go in,

and she’s somewhat tolerant of when I have to cancel appt., so I am going

to think this through. Maybe I’ll go for a consult first with hubby’s

Dr? I’ll let you know. Jackie

Whatever

it is, it settled in my lungs and at the beginning of the week I was wheezing,

and short of breath. No whooping sound though. So whatever virus is here,

attacks the sinuses, ears, and lungs. I should have gone to the Dr., but I have

a tendency to wait it out. Last week I did try an antibiotic for the ears, and

it seemed to help. I now take Claritin everyday too, and that has been a help

also.

Smiles,

p/s

I am in the process of getting my records from the Neurologist that dx’ed

me with MS, and make up a folder to take to a new PCP. I am a little nervous

about starting over with a new Dr., but the one I will be seeing is very

thorough, and is Steve’s Dr, and he highly recommends him. I have so many

illnesses, I hope it won’t overwhelm him! L

Around this household we thought we had

some kind of cold and then followed by a flu virus that all combined lasted for

6 weeks or more. Then we found out it was actually whooping cough....

Hello Jackie-

When I lived in

Oregon, it

was right off the coast in Astoria.

Beautiful little town, but it was a little too humid for me. I don't ever

remember the weather being in the 90's in the spring though. I do remember

alot of rain though.

As far as

viruses go. I've noticed alot of people having a hard time with them. Last

Christmas I had a virus hit the nerves in my face, causing me to have Bell's

Palsy. What a trip! I thought I had had a stroke or something. The whole left

side of my face was paralyzed for a few weeks.

My daughter has

been catching some viruses here and there as well. Mostly in her sinuses and

ears.

God bless...
