Ugh, I hate antibiotics, especially when they’re not the right ones first time around.
When I had pneumonia (haha, great way to start a story), my doctor gave me antibiotics for the flu and I ended up getting horribly allergic. It was terrible.

Hi Lisa,
I’ve popped by your site because I picked up WordPress for Dummies and love it–thank you so much! (Now if only I actually had time to work on my blog.)

I noticed your interesting run-in with the pharmacist. That happened once when I bought Advil, believe it or not.

I am a huge fan of Sudafed PE; it doesn’t have pseudoephedrine in it, but phenylephrine. You shouldn’t get carded, and it _really_ works.

I wish we did that up here in Canada. They are leaving it to the Pharmacies up here and guess what? Not only are we the #1 supplier of pot to the USA but now we supply most of your Meth. I actually have no problem with the pot but I’ve seen what Meth can do to a neighbourhood and city in very little time. An exploding meth lab can destroy a city block while the meth itself can leave a neighbourhood soulless. Plus I hate dentists and anything that leads to them making more money is bad. Meth RUINS your teeth, which eventually puts more money in a dentist’s pocket.

Here in Ontario we have a voluntary program called meth watch. When you are buying these products, you could be asked to explain why you want more than 1 or 2 boxes. Since these products are easily bought everywhere tylenol is sold, including the corner store, I think it’s just a stupid afterthought. But our politicians haven’t really had to deal with the tweaker fallout, yet. They still seem to be operating under the illusion that meth is an American problem.

Lisa, I am sorry to read you are feeling poorly and I hope you improve soon, but I’m glad you were asked for i.d.

I’m sorry that you are feeling terrible. It’s that time of year again

I recently went through this with my Zyrtec-D when it went from prescription to over-the-counter. It was no problem to purchase it without ID for seven years and now I feel like I’m a potential meth-head.

Feel better soon.

Holy moly! In Canada we can buy it buy the bucketload. (Sadly, buckets are not provided. We live in a Bring Your Own Bucket society.) Then again, marijuana is legal in this province, so it’s hardly surprising.

Sending feel better vibes!!

Hey Lisa, so sorry to hear about your illness. This has been a year for crap infecting all my friends and myself.

I have been fighting sinusitis and laryngitis for three weeks. My right ear has been ringing for almost as long.

I was carded, and registered! for Sudafed. Crazy.

I pray you get better quickly. Mine is almost gone.

Tom..I never was any good at new years resolutions. I should know better. And who is ignoring symptoms? I actually made it to the doc’s office twice in less than a week.

I have an appt. about Ben in the city on Friday, I’m hoping to also see my specialist then, as well, if he has the availability. Planning on calling him in the morning, since, while the pain is gone - the hearing has not returned yet.

Not ignoring.. just procrastinating.

Jeane - thank you. I had heard of the huffing thing.. it was around when I was in school, too — seems to be a bigger problem these days, though.

Whatever happened to the serious New Year’s resolution of taking better care of yourself…and not ignoring the early warning signs of a serious illness. I always thought that nurses knew better.
