Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 Morning All, I hope you are all doing much better today! It is like everyone is sick right now. Must be the weather. I sure have not been posting like I should but have been keeping up with the group. Gosh I don't know what I would do with out all of you. You are like a life preserver to me. As some of you know I have been fighting a few aches and pains and the typical stuff that goes with this darn ole RP. I think I have won one battle and lost a couple more since I last posted to let you know what was going on with me.LOL I will give you the winner first and the losers last! ) Winner is I went to the Dr. again yesterday. This makes 4 times since the 2nd of Nov. Boy what fun!NOT! Anyway when they took my BP it was 120/80! I was so tickled I had to tell my regular nurse when I left! She was tickled too! Yah for my side. I have even been able to survive the meds which was a feat in itself!LOL Now for the losers. Well kind of losers anyway. I came down with an eye infection a week ago and it has gotten better but on Saturday I came down with a cold. It has now went into sinuses and I now have an infection in my sinuses. I am on antibiotics now so hope it will not go any farther. Pretty bad when the Dr. checks you out and says you sound terrible!LOL I did all the stuff I normally do and tried not to get any sicker but it never works. I guess it is the hazards of a surpressed immune system. I used my humidifier religiously and was so good this time and it just didn't work. It sure went to an infection fast this time that is for sure. Sick on Sat. and the infection taking over on Wed. Wow I think that is a record for me!LOL I wonder how I would be if I hadn't been so careful!LOL Yes Heidi I have even been resting like I should. I have been sleeping 8 or 9 hours a night! Just ask .LOL She has had a time trying to catch me on line. The best news is the RP is in the silent mode and I hope it stays that way. It usually wants to get into the act when the sinuses get involved! Also I was able to get the Flu Shot at Albertson's here. The had an in store thingy so I got one there. I guess I have more winners than I though and less losers!LOL See there is always good even when you have loses! Take care all and know I think of you often! I will try to get back into the swing of things soon. Nursing this cold etc. has been lots of fun. Oh did I mention that Mike has been gone all this last week hunting so it has made it even more fun trying to work and keep up with the little one! Never a boring moment her.LOL Love you all Glenda ---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.295 / Virus Database: 159 - Release Date: 11/1/2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 Dear Glenda, well kiddo, I'm also on 875 mgs of augmentin for sinus and ear infections, also back on pred. Called doctor yesterday and surprisingly he called me back. I did tell him I thought I needed IV antibiotics but he felt we'll try this first. Does anyone happen to remember the drug criteria for RP??? My doc does the respritory criteria. 40 mgs for two days then 20 for 7 days and 10 for 7 days. I know we had a site that listed all the medications and how to administer them. Thank You...Sue M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
