What The Doctor Said

Went to the doctor again this week for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. She prescribed me an inhaler, Senega Ammonia (the vilest form of medicine known to man, but also the cheapest and most effective) and more Sudafed as I was coughing. What I didn’t know was the fact that I was also wheezing which made breathing a whole lot harder as I was coughing while I was trying to get oxygen into my lungs. As soon as I hit cold pockets of air, my coughing fits begin and I need to go to warmer areas so that I don’t wheeze.

She also told me the cough will last for about a month or so. I just needed to get all the phlegm out so that I’m not chesty anymore.

She also said, “I think you had the swine flu” -.-

Thanks for letting me know a week after I had got it. I think I could have also diagnosed myself from the symptoms I was displaying: fever, cough, runny nose, body aches and nausea. Good thing is, now I’m immune to it. Let’s just hope the virus doesn’t mutate and I’m all good :)

    1. Heh! The flu is just about the only thing you can’t get Good Stuff (TM) for. I’m always keen on the “slipped disc” angle (no pun intended).

      Get well soon!

    2. HB: Thanks! I’m almost better but still on antibiotics. Stupid bronchitis :( Well, the stupid Sudafed caused my blocked ear. I’m never going back to the Dr again unless its for MCs
