Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hey group, Good morning. Just touching base. Gotta work today. I have been on antibiotics and trying to fight this resp crap. I have had this for a good 2 weeks. I just don't understand why it is not going away???? Anyone else been battling this stuff? I wonder if it is my immune system..... it is debatable weather or not fibro makes our immune systems less effective. I am beginning to think it does. It just seems that everytime I turn around I have some bug that is either respiratory or stomach and intestinal. Like the fibro is not enough to wreak havoc on our body. I believe that the complications of fibro are far underestimated. I do not believe they really have gotten to the tip of the iceberg with this disease. I sure wish they would. How many other illnesses have taken so long to figure out???? I don't think many of them are as complicated and misunderstood as this one. Well, I am hanging in there. And I guess that with all the germs I work around everyday it is no wonder I am sick with something all the time. love and hugs, Debra V. --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I am sorry to hear yu are still fighting the yucky doodles. i hate it when it seems to hang on. I think our immune systems are weakened with fibro. I never have been so sick , so often. Feel better, wash those hands, disinfect your cell phone often or anything you touch. germs are evrywhere, lol. Hugs, debra van ness wrote: Hey group, Good morning. Just touching base.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Debra V - I'm sorry you have to go through this for so long. It seems when you have fibro, any type of illness is exacerbated. As if the respiratory stuff isn't enough, you've got to deal with everything else too. I know anytime I get a cold of any kind it's always worse and longer than normal. Hoping you feel better soon.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks Teri. It might be trying to let up some. I just took my 4th dose of Azithromycin this morning. It is a 5 day round of antibiotics. I hope it gets rid of this. hugs, Debra V. Teri Wallner wrote: Debra V - I'm sorry you have to go through this for so long.
