I have went through hell this past weekend. At first(Friday) I had a simple sore throat, okay no problem right? The next day(Saturday) I woke up and I can barely breath and swallow and the there is pool of saliva in the back of my throat. What a fun day that was, went to the doctor and tested for strep and she came back and said it came out negative and she sent me home saying that I am simply sick with a common flu(right). Now(sunday) I have a nasty cough with a sore throat and can barely swallow. I just now got antibiotics today because the walmart pharmacy said they could not recognize the doctor. What a fun 4 day trip this has been for me. Anyone else sick?

Well I just went thru my first round of sinus surgery with getting my septum broke, chiseled, and stinted. I do believe I have hit my top threshold for pain. No sleep last night and going in for round 2 this morning, for the sinus cavity scape and replace some stitches. So yes, I have to agree with you on this one....

We just went through the sore throat thing over the last couple of weeks. Starts out as a sore throat then moves to your head and chest. Last about 2 weeks.

Hang in there.

I've heard so many bad things about Walmart's pharmacy that I won't ever go there or to Walgreen's. I'll gladly pay more to use a local pharmacy.

As for being sick, the wife got a nasty cold a couple weeks back. I packed on the vitamins as soon as she started showing symptoms. I got a little bit of a sniffle but that's about it.

yay, at least I am not alone. Whats funny is that I had to call twice to see if I could get my prescription. First time they told me that they had nothing there under my name, and the second time I called it magically popped up, go figure. This is after I tried to go pick it up. I've been sucking down ricola fruit flavored cough drops(got a 9 pack at costco for $7.95), niquil, and vitamins C & D. I think scott here has it the worst though.

I'm sick too.

Doc gave me azithromycin and prednisone.

Azithromycin is some heavy stuff, I am going to start it today.
