ruttinbuc Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I finally went to the doctor and needless to say she was very upset with me. I have had this cold for 10 days and there is seemingingly no getting rid of it. All of the over the counter stuff including Zicam did little to break it up. She read me the riot act on the complications of not getting to see her sooner. She wrote me out a couple prescriptions and wants to see me in 8 days.... She also said a man my age should know better...she is right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hey Mike...A man your age should know better. That's what ya get for being a man...eh...LOL:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hmmmm. Shame on you Mike. lol. Seriously though sometimes you are better off giving your body a chance to shake the crud on its own rather than running to an md and getting a script for antibiotics. How long to let the crud linger I guess depends on how bad it is and whether or not you are miserable enough. Typically I am guilty too of not going in when I probably need to.

She said the same thing, but was wielding a whip when she said it! :whip: Hope you get better soon Mike. Gonna give ya a call. I'll be here, Anthony. I went to the doctor and probably had my worst day yet as far as a cough goes. Hope these pills kick in soon. I'll send you a PM with my home number. My cell phone is missing in action on vibrate yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkV Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Mike I am fighting the same thing right now and probably will let it run it's course also. I typically wait a week or so and if there is no relief in sight I will go to a doc. Hope you feel better, Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I've had kinda the same thing. Been coughing a lot, had some congestion head aches and a plugged up nose for about 2 weeks. i don't really feel all that bad, but if it makes it through the weekend I'll probably go see the doc.

Turkeygirl Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Take some Mucinex...that stuff works...sinus decongestants, eat some fresh oranges...take some whole garlic gloves...and drink lots of fluids...fluids help thin the congestion in your chest...

ruttinbuc Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks, TG! With the Rx and getting some good rest I am feeling somewhat better. I will keep your remedies in mind when I get to the store. I can't remember a cold this bad hanging on so long....and yes, Kirk and MUDRUNNER, going to the doctor turned this thing around. The next time I think I will get there sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Mike...having a female DR, and her asking you to cough can't be a bad thing.... Get better soon pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
