Felt a bit crappy all week. I figured with my days off I'd be getting better. Usually, the creepy crud is turning around for me in about 3 days. This has been a week.  Not getting better today and having cold chills. Took my temp and it and it came in at 99.6°. Not crazy high, but enough to give me cold chills occasionally. Decided to go see the Doc. Got me some drugs and Doc says in about a day and a half I should be starting to feel a lot better. I can hardly wait. I'm off again tomorrow then back two new officers on Wednesday. I need this crud gone quick.  Edited to add: I am hitting the bed early, Hoping Ifeel a difference by morning. |

The crud is real this year. Our D-I-L is an ER Doc at a local hospital. She said the flu and RSV has been quite bad this year.
We (the whole family in the area) just came through the RSV. It was a brutal month!
Hope you’re feeling better soon!

let us know when you are feeling better. Though it's only been about ten ours since I took the meds ... I can feel a difference for the better already. I'm not well by a long shot, but I feel some improvement. |

Get well!
Those are the two meds I usually get for this kind of stuff.
I really don’t like prednisone! It works but leaves me feeling all edgy and keeps me from sleeping well!

I'm not well by a long shot, but I feel some improvement. Glad you are feeling better. I’m one of the people that prednisone is especially effective for. I usually feel better within hours or taking it, and after 2-3 doses, I feel fine. |

Prednisone is highly effective for most people and has worked well for my family and I over the years.

I can't take prednisone or prednisone. Hives, constricted breathing, tunnel vision.
So are you feeling better yet?

So are you feeling better yet? In general, yes, I am. The thing is I am also taking Mucinex (expectorant) which causes mucus to flow. I'll continue with that until I get through the other meds. All the soreness in the throat and sinus area is gone. Two more doses over two days ... to go. |

Azith hits some people hard, too. Hopefully that is going well for you.
Mucinex did weird things to me the last couple times I tried it, I don't remember what. I have bad luck with side effects of any med - I always seem to get it. Saves me money if I don't keep buying the stuff, I guess.
Lots of crud. I had something a couple weeks ago that left with me with some nasty sinus pressure and a fever around 100. Didn't bother testing for anything - didn't feel very covid-y, might have been something other than a head cold. Fever broke after a couple days, took more than a week for energy levels to return, though. I'd been dodging stuff a lot, so I guess I was overdue to get something.

Me too. Only two antibiotics I tolerate. Meds usually bother my stomach.
