Sick of being sick

I know I have completely neglected my blog since starting it last month, but I just haven't really had time or I haven't felt like blogging. Since my last post, several health issues have occurred. First, the apparent cramps I was having was actually a nice little (read BIG) bladder infection which was so painful, almost as painful as the kidney stones I had several years ago. Almost. By Monday when I went to the doctor to get medicine for THAT, I had developed a cough, but since the Prometrium listed a cough as a side effect, I wasn't concerned. Since that time I have finished the Prometrium (and the antibiotic for the infection) and started the birth control pills. I've been on those for about 2 and 1/2 weeks, and I really don't see any difference in the problem I was having before and now. During this time however, I have developed an even worse cough and lots of head congestion. I went to the doctor concerning that last week and was prescribed Amoxicillin 500 mg. As of today, I am down to the final 3 doses and not feeling any better, so I called and asked for a strong prescription and some cough medicine for nighttime. Something stronger than the Robitussin Nighttime Cough & Cold I started taking Sunday night. The doctor prescribed Azithromycin 250 mg, which are the type of antibiotics you take 2 the first day and then one the following 4 days. I hope this stuff works. They would not give me any cough medicine though. They told the pharmacy they wanted me to take OTC cough medicine. Humph! Are they concerned with an addiction? I don't know why. The pharmacist was very nice and told me the Robitussin I had was fine. I'm looking forward to Saturday when I can rest all day since my husband will be at work, and people keep telling me I should be resting not working. Needless to say, (why do we say that, obviously we feel we do need to say it) since I've been sick I have not had a chance to check out a Weight Watchers meeting. Nor have I been able to try out my new dance DVD my mom gave me for my birthday. Hopefully this new medicine will begin to work soon!
