In the future when I come to your office complaining
of various symptoms that require you to place me on an antibiotic,
will you please
GIVE ME THE STRONGEST
antibiotic that you have access to?
For example, at the beginning of the year I came down with something.
I have no memory of what it was.
All I know is we went through 3 antibiotics before one finally worked.
And that meant I was sick for over two weeks.
Another example, 3 weeks ago I came down with something
and again, we went through 3 antibiotics before
FINALLY last Thursday
you prescribed a really strong antibiotic and guess what?
I'm feeling better.
That's right, no more coughing all night long.
So in the future when I come to your office,
please just give me the strong stuff first.
I'm tired of having to go through antibiotic after antibiotic after antibiotic
until we find the one that will work.
And no, I do not want another Z-pack ever again!
I thank you, my family thanks you
and I'm sure your office staff thanks you because
they no longer have to talk to me after 3 weeks in a row
calling and complaining how sick I am to them.
And if anyone is wondering,
I am feeling better.
Thank you Lord!

I'm so glad you are feeling better and if that office staff doesn't put in your request for the strongest stuff first I'm sure there are alot of us friends who would be more than happy to call the office too and put in a request for you-can't you just imagine?! LOL. I'm praying you get healthy and stay health Lois.
Hugs & prayers,

I am glad you are feeling better, just sorry that your Dr. has you on the "keep coming back" sort of schedule--more money in his pocket I'm guessing.
Hope you are feeling normal very soon!

I;m so sorry to hear you've been sick.. Just so ya know for future reference, they never give ya the strong stuff first becuase then you wouldnt have 4 more appointments plus the kick backs they get from hawking all the latest meds from the salesmen they spend more time with than they so with their patients.. Add to that the fact that they more they make- they more golf they can play:) those fees just keep going up and the money has to come from somewhere lol.. your pocket is their CC of choice.. In the meantime take some vitamin C and rub the soles of your feet with vicks vapor rub and see , YOU can make yourself better - faster- than they can....
Just my opinion of course:)
glad you're feeling better..

So glad you are feeling better - and sorry it took so long. I don't understand those z-paks either...I've really never known anybody who thought they were helpful. So with all those antibiotics, hopefully you are now antibodied against any germ out there:)
Treat yourself to some of that french toast - YUMMO!

I am so glad you finally got some relief! This has been a difficult Spring on many of us, with sore throats, bronchitis, congestion. I finally kicked mine too. Coughing in NO fun!
