To take or NOT to take--(was: gggrrr.I have Chicken Pox)

[Guest guest]

PHew! this is a lively group--lots to weed through.

can I make a suggetion?

Trim your posts. It's alot when on daily digest.

I just want to update you all on my doc visit today.

here is what we have:

I have headaches, fevers, fatigue, and spots

but just a few. they aren't too itchy and they aren't big or pussy,

they more like bug bites. my face however feels like it wants to

break out but hasn't

DS4--no spots, very sore throat, serious coughing, runny nose--

yellow, then white, now clear and headaches

so I went to the doc today just to confirm that i have it.

the nurse says that she has never seen an adult come in there with CP

in the 16 years that she's been there. When the doc came in he was

surprised too. saying that he suspected shingles but sure enough I do

have the CP. everyone was so surprised that I had it again since I

most likely had it as a child.

he gave me 2 prescriptions: (my attempt at his handwriting)

valtrex 1000z po TID(?)

and

meolrol dore ADx 1 lave

(Lol...or maybe it is this)

medrol dose ADx 1 lawe

does anyone know if I can take these while nursing? or if they are

worth taking??

I asked him--couldn't I just ride it out without taking anything.

he said you could, but with my history of serious pneumonia last

winter. he doesn't want to take any chances of this CP causing it to

cause pneumonia.

BTW I am 36 and somewhat healthy.

I eat right. no alcohol, no caffeine, don't smoke. I am a little

overweight and live a stressful life (homeschooling single momma to a

highschooler and a preschooler +work 3 jobs...among lots of other

colorful issues thrown in the mix)

I try to avoid anything prescribed nor over-the-counter unless I'm am

absolutly dying. I do use acetomin. for occasional headaches and i do

use some homeopatic store.

This CP thing isn't really causing any pain, im just tired alot and

trying to deal with my 4y.o. who is also sick.

soooo...the question of the day......

which risk should I take--the prescriptions or NOT taking the

prescriptions???

thanks for listening!

I would never in a million years take those drugs which include

steroids/cortisone.

We need to allow our bodies to deal with illness, not suppress

it. The will just keep you from having a good case and drive the

disturbance deeper and cause chronic illness in the long run

That's all the know - drugs, drugs, drugs.

I shared with you remedies that will help and other helpful natural

things such as oatmeal baths - none of which will suppress your symptoms.

>does anyone know if I can take these while nursing? or if they are

>worth taking??

See above AND NO YOU can't take them while nursing - jeeshhhhhhh

didn't they even ask you?

Well, its your choice, but if it were me, I would just do all I can

to help my body instead of hinder

Vitamin C in as high of doses as you can take - see the post I sent

on Vitamin C last week (actually I send it again)

Doesn't sound like you are almost dying

And I would avoid any pain relievers or itch relievers (drugs)

That's just what I said he would do! It's all they have to offer.

Don't use chemical drugs for CP. Don't use them while nursing. They will NOT

cure you. What proof does he have that you will get pneumonia if you don't take

these drugs? That's nonsense.

You are a very busy lady, with a new situation and a sick child You're tired.

Sleep. Put the little guy in bed with you and have your high schooler wait on

you hand and foot (haha--like that will happen). It'll be okay, but you need to

rest.
