I started strong this morning, lots of e-mail interaction with the lab and even a few hundred words on a blog post, but then had another setback.
Hence I offer you a photographic (iPhone cam) composition entitled, “Still Life.”
I am too young to feel this old.
(Special note to PalMD: No vomiting from the new clarithromycin but, damn, my pee smells funny.)
Ha! Good eye! I just couldn’t find any John Pearse strings in the house.
Just wait till you get the orange pee :p
I have pneomonia also. I’m squinting to read the labels on the things on the nightstand. Yesterday I finished five days of 750 mg per day Levaquin. As a test I stopped the benzonatate 3 times a day and Mucinex DM today. Don’t have the hacking cough that needs to be suppressed to conserve energy – yeah!
The Levaquin gave me a strange taste in my mouth and I could smell it in my urine the first few days.
Tough thing is deciding when to go back to work. I won’t know how much strength I do or don’t have until I try. I’ll probably go back Friday and if I’m exhausted by lunch will leave then.
This is my 2nd pneumonia in 2 years and I think I could write a book for patients on how to handle it. The first time I was in the hospital and they gave me nothing for my cough (unless you count the darvocet and dilaudid I was given for chest and back pain)! So I was exhausted by the hacking cough.
Don’t you love that extended release Mucinex? I don’t care that it costs more than the generic, only having to swallow that big pill twice a day is worth it.
