Still Ill

No real improvement to report. The two doctors I've been (urgent care and my regular doctor) seem to be flummoxed by the combination of symptoms. I like to think that de-I isn't going to get just any run of the mill disease...needs to be something exotic...something that tests the system.

After my visit to regular doctor on Tuesday, I was sent for more tests (to see if it could be Mono) and I got a homeopathic remedy. (My doctor is an integrative physician meaning he is an MD with background in non-traditional remedies). I've seen no results from the remedy but discovered in reading the instructions for the fourth time today that I have been taking it totally incorrectly. Namely you're not supposed to take this with any fluid or in fact put anything in your mouth for 30 minutes.

I've been taking it with water so I probably have just flushed it through my system. Doh!

Anyway, I go back on Monday to get the test results. If nothing works, I get kicked upstairs to some sort of "infectious disease specialist". (Ominous music inserted here).

Not good, not good.

Take your remedy correctly. Drink plenty of fluids when you can. Get your butt in bed.

I'd bring you some chicken soup, but it would be cold by the time I get there.

Feel better...

Ugh. Still no better? :( Hopefully once you start taking your medicine correctly, things will improve. You'd think your doctor or pharmacist would've pointed out the fine print to you.

I thought, from the title, that you were still number three. Alas, that would be much better than being sick.

Well it only seems fair that since I CAME DOWN WITH THIS WHEN I WAS AT YOUR PLACE LAST, that I return it to you.
