you need to cultivate friends who are doctors
they are much more useful than lawyers

You suggest cultivating in the midst of an epidemic? :shock: Are you a mole for the biological warfare division of the NIH or the CDC? :ninja:

If you have a homeschool supply store or medical supply store near you, you might be able to find the necessary equipment. If not, you could probably find a place to order it online.

You totally have my sympathy.

Ah strep... haven't had that in years (at least not that I am aware of...)

With me, even getting a cold is bad news. Because of my asthma, a cold could send me to the ER because it really brings on attacks and more often than normal. I am wondering if I should go to work tomorrow because I feel kinda icky... runny nose, icky cough, sore throat, and problems breathing. Plus I start at 9am.

Get better HSMom!

If you think it is an infection and you can stay home, please do stay home from work and make an appointment with the dr. of you need it. One of the number one goals of sick people should be to get better. It's also better than coming to work and letting one of your co-workers come down with the same thing.

Can I ask what you take for asthma? I have chronic asthma that is probably not as severe. I take albuterol and advair.

I didn't go to work... I called in and slept until about 2pm.

I also take abuterol and advair. I also take allegra for my allergies and singulair for when things get really bad.

I'm glad you didn't go to work. Are you feeling any better?

I still have a nice little cough and my nose is still a faucet... my throat is slightly irritated now and I have a slight wheeze and tightness in my lungs. I may do a nebulizer treatment before bed though. The longer I am up, the better I feel I think.

I wonder how HSmom is fairing... :unsure:

I think we're better. HSdad is still on penicillan... but the rest of us are done and feeling fine-- except for some coughing and basic kids in winter carp. Thanks for asking.
