Woke up this morning and the cough seemed to have finally cleared out. About two hours later, right when I was getting ready to head to the doctor's office to get checked out and maybe finalize my sick leave, he called me. He said: "I'll come by tomorrow if you're actually feeling better today, so we can wrap up this medical leave." As soon as I hung up, it started again. But it’s different today—not like before where I was coughing every five minutes. Now, it's more like once every half hour, and without any phlegm (well, maybe twice or three times). 🙂 I think I'll still go in tomorrow anyway. They'll probably just give me a few more days off.
It’s been about ten days now since I came down with what feels like the flu—fever and a nasty cough. The fever only lasted one day, but this cough just won't quit, if you know what I mean. My doctor prescribed some Ibumetin for the fever or whatever it was. As for drops—Resyl with Codeine—nothing seems to be helping yet. When I cough, I feel like the whole apartment building can hear me, and I'm coughing up phlegm about the size of a small teaspoon.🤷 The coughing stops while I'm sleeping, though. Unfortunately, I'm a smoker. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance.
Ever wonder just how much medication you actually go through in a year? For some people, that's basically their whole identity—for me, I'm just known as the guy with epilepsy. My total intake: 1,368.75 mg per year. 😳
If you're dealing with hand pain, I had the same thing happening in my left hand. I went to see my uncle, who's a doctor, and he just laughed and asked if I used a computer. Everything cleared up once I stopped leaning on the desk like that.🙂
