Ok, so I can take a hint... I need rest.. but I dont understand that word lol...

I have not been feeling well for a while now, but kept thinking it would go away..even a course of antibiotics didnt help. So this afternoon after a nap, Dave insisted he take me to the ER which is only a few blocks from here. Well lo and behold for the first time in my life I have bronchitis and a UTI infection to boot..so they gave me one antibiotic to tie me over till the pharmacy opens tomorrow..

So I told Dave he is right and I am wrong lol.. he said he is glad he got me concede to go and get checked out as it could have turned to pneumonia..arhhhhhhh..

I dont have time to be sick, but I do have today and thru till monday off so I guess I should rest...

Now our turkey roast is cooking again its going to be a late dinner now for us..

Ah...Aussiedeb that's awful but maybe you can get that infection cleared up and feel better soon!

I didn't have to go to the ER today but I am on antibotics plus two other medicines because I have an inner ear infection which makes me incredibly dizzy and so sick to my stomach I want to throw up. No way could I have prepared a whole meal in this condition. So, needless to say our Thanksgiving has been very simple.

My BF threw some steaks on the grill, made some stuffing (using a can of chicken broth) and a tossed salad and it tasted wonderful. And best of all he seemed to have a good time doing it. LOL He makes some good cornbread stuffing! His mother sent over 2 entire pies. wow I am thankful I have a few good hearted people in my life to make rough times easier and thank goodness for modern medicine.

Aussie, I also have bronchitis! It's been lingering for almost a week. The first few days were miserable. So, I understand how you feel. HUGS your way!

However, we are having a nice time with my family on this holiday. (I'm just not coughing around anyone..LOL)

sickcat <==Aussiedeb, please get well soon!! It's miserable being sick, but even worse to be sick on a holiday, I always think.

greeneggs <==Willsfan, your steak dinner sounds delicious. Who says Thanksgiving has to mean turkey? With your being sick, anything would do, so long as someone else cooks it!!

Twiggyish, ain't it a pain in the behind having bronchitis? That bites!! Sorry you're not well.

Everyone, rest and recuperate; the Clubhouse needs you all!!

Could someone tell me the symptoms of Bronchitis. The last couple of weeks I have been having spells where all of a sudden my heart seems to be beating a tad faster than normal and I start wheezing and I feel dizzy and sorta lousy for about 5 minutes. That is all the spell, as I call it, lasts but I have felt kind of tired lately and don't have much energy. I am calling my Dr. tomorrow but I am curious about the symptoms since so many people seem to be suffering from this lately.

Kristy: Any coughing? Any history of allergies/asthma?

From WebMD on Bronchitis:

The symptoms of bronchitis are often similar to those of other lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia.

Symptoms of bronchitis usually begin 3 to 4 days after an upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or the flu (influenza). Symptoms that are usually present include:

A cough, which is dry at first (does not produce mucus). After a few days, the cough may bring up mucus from the lungs (productive cough). The mucus may be clear, yellow, or green. Occasionally small streaks of blood may be present.
A mild fever, usually less than 101°F (38.33°C).
A general feeling of tiredness (malaise).
A sensation of tightness, burning, or dull pain in the chest under the breastbone that usually is worse when breathing deeply or coughing.
Whistling noises (wheezing) when breathing, especially during physical exertion.
A feeling of breathlessness (sometimes present).

Why, thank you, Babyruth!! Have I ever told you that we have a miniature Australian shepherd? I don't think I have any pics of him on disk, but he is cute--just really jumpy and antsy. We need to have him neutered; I hope that will make him a calmer dog!!

Let me second what Whoami just wrote..

Hope you all are feeling better ASAP.. I used to get bronchitis almost every year when I was working. Miserable sickness. Sometimes the antibiotics don't work the first round either.. so be persistant with your DOC if you're not feeling any better after your pills are gone.
