ATTN : MOM Attendees

[tugon (imported)]

Mine flared up again last night and has bothered me through today. I bought a bottle of B complex + C and that seems to help. I learned about the importance of B at the MoM. Thanks P. Tomorrow I expect to be healthy but if not it was still worth it.

I also got a prescription for Chantex, to stop smoking. It's gonna be a while before I can get that one filled, though.

My mom, roommate, and manager-i-dont-like managed to all quit using Chantex. My roomie mentioned that it gave him interesting dreams... abnormal dreaming is a listed side effect.

If you use chantex, good luck to you.

You may want to check in your area for financial assistance available for chantex. Mom got some prescription assistance for the drugs -- unsure how. I'll have to get details next time I talk to her. My roomie, If I recall, had work pick up the entire tab for the cost of the drug. He didn't have to even pay his drug copay.

Went to the Dr. this morning.

By then, all the Sudafed, etc., had worn off overnight.

I nearly went to sleep waiting, too.

My vitals were BP 90/60

Temp. 95.4

Pulse 88

Weight - 150 (at 5'8.5")

Respiration - normal but wheezing - some bronchitis on left side.

He then asked me if I felt dead, since I was statically going into shock.

Then I blew out some stuff from my nose as a sample and spit up a hairball for him. He immediately wrote up a prescription for a Z-pac and Albuterol and said, "Yeah, it's bacterial, next time I'll take your word for it. I didn't want to see that."

For those that have it installed, it was the color of a Limewire icon for PC. Or you could blend the gold stars here with the green boxes, and toss in a bit of blood.

Then we moved onto my ears, where he rinsed out a nice pile of bloody black stuff that looked like potting soil mixed with grease and informed me I had a major ear infection and that my throat was a mess. (I once had this done when I was 4, and had to be sedated after being chased down and hauled back in kicking and screaming!)

The good news is my blood sugar isn't at all high and I was told not to lose any more weight...hehe

So much for that 5 lbs. I gained at the MOM! Sorry, Bobbie and Riverwind...not that you're not excellent cooks! I just don't maintain weight.

He then offered me a sample of Cialis. I politely declined, stating that I didn't much need or want that. (I didn't mention B.O.B.)

But I did get a sample of allergy/nasal spray that'll last a while, and pretty much all the albuterol and sugar testing strips I can ever use.

I also got a prescription for Chantex, to stop smoking. It's gonna be a while before I can get that one filled, though.

The good news is that it seems that I'm gonna live.

Glad to hear you are well taken care of by your doc. My crud came back last night and today. I see my doctor a week from today and if I still have it I will cough up something for him. Anything to make his day special, want some sputum doc?

Glad to hear about the help to stop smoking. I look forward to seing you at MoM's as a cranky old evil overlord. I bought a patch to help me stop overeating. Instructions were 1. remove backing to expose adhesive. 2. press upper lip against lower lip. 3. apply patch over lips. I will let you know how it works.

Abnormal dreams would be nice, IF I sleep, that is.

With all the stress lately, though, I don't know that it's going to work.

Get Well Everyone!! I only had a bit of congestion with a little cough, but I am fine. Tugon, (LOL) love that new patch you mentioned.

Take Care and Big Hugs, Lilac

Hope you are better soon, tugon. You and Paolo are talented. I don't think I've ever been able to cough up something on demand!

Hugs,

Getting there, slow but sure!

I haven't been able to breath the last few days. I blame Metro Breathing Syndrome though, not the MoM.
