Diagnosis: sinusitis

I felt so absolutely rotten today that I dragged myself into the doctor's office, expecting the routine "you have a cold/virus/something icky" and "that will be $65, please." This time, we got a bit further than that, with an experience that would actually pass for an exam and a diagnosis of "acute sinusitis", accompanied by a prescription for 10 days' worth of antibiotics. Fun, fun, fun! But the good news is I shouldn't be contagious. I'll take my silver linings where I find them.
It sure is hard to manage wee ones while experiencing fever, congestion and general misery.
Oy.

Ah well, at least you are not contagious (like you said, take the silver linings where you can) and hopefully now that you have antibiotics you'll feel better in a few days. Now for my lecture to you...make sure you take all of your medicine, even if you feel better!! :) Ok, now that that's out of the way...;) I really do hope you feel better soon. It is hard to look after little ones when you are not feeling well. Hang in there! Sending hugs your way...

At least you had a full exam... Don't even get me started about my LACK of health options, and a $300 bill for a problem that still exists and now I have to find yet antoher doctor and shell out more money to hopefully get my issues resolved.... The fact that you got a complete diagnosis the first time around should be your silver lining......

I hope that you feel better sopn and the little ones will have some mercy on you during your recovery...

Take care...

I hope you're feeling better soon (((((hugs)))))
So sorry I'm too far away to help.... I'm still grateful for that day you looked after Amelia when I had that horrible sickness bug/ fever combined with morning sickness...
Hopefully the antibiotics will give you some relief
take care x
