So last week i finished up my third antibiotic and was feeling pretty decent...not completely one hundred percent but i know antibiotics linger in the system for a least ten days. So i didnt worry.
Well a week later and im feel worse off and my cough is worse. No fever but i rarely run one... so im not making a big deal. I hope to god its a damned cold and not anything serious.
My RA is flaring as i missed 4 doses of my mtx, i took it last week as my doc said i could after i finished my antibiotics. I hate this.
I have a big school test thursday and so much work to catch up on from being sick the last month.
It sucks. I hate it. I feel like crud. I want to sleep all day/everyday. My parents dont get it. I feel like i pirate everytime i say it but Arrrghh.

are your oxygen SAT's in the normal range?
you were checked for RA nodules in the lung? and you were checked on a lung cat scan also to make sure that was clear since this has been so long?
maybe this one is a virus?
it wears you down doesn't it?
my pneumonias keep me off meds a minimum of 8 weeks from start to complete heal. you are so much younger so I hope it is quicker for you.
hang in there

I'm young but illnesses have been whooping my arse since i was little. if a lung infection clings i can be sick at least 8-10 weeks.
-.-
im honestly hoping its just stress of the last week and a small viral not a big deal thing.
I'm in!
I'm sorry sweetie, since my diagnosis takes forever to kick any respiratory.
I really hope you feel better sooner then later.
I'd hate to be in school feeling that nasty. Stress!
