Went on a 5 day bus trip.The minute I got back and stepped off the bus it really hit me!....All kinds of green phlegm from my lungs, more troubles breathing, headache, coughing. (The woman friend I roomed with in the hotel just told me her elderly mother has the same thing, for 3 weeks. I don't think my body will live through 3 weeks of this).
That was a Friday night. I began 5-day Azithromycin I had on hand for emergencies and last one taken Tuesday morning. I feel worse. My doctor's office said not to take another round of the antibiotics but I found that sometimes it wont work unless I do? Secretary said don't take one on top of another and that it stays in system for 10 days. But on box it does say keeps working 6-10 days.
I also have not needed oxygen for over 3 years and today I do as it goes to 87 and I still have troubles breathing.......
If it was not for my young dog, I would just go to the hospital. My son lives here and sometimes works for 12 hours gone. I have her crate trained but cannot leave her that long in a crate......She doesn't chew up too many things anymore. She is a Sheltie (if that matters).
I'm thinking of leaving her loose in the house but I am a bit scared of that too. I cannot have my elderly friends look after her.
Any suggestions? I feel worse after taking Airborne, Azithromycin, Tussin, Sodium Naproxen since day one......?
