Sniffle

So everyone around here's been sick lately - it's just what happens when you work at a University I think. Kids come back from the holidays, and the various hometown bugs start to spread around and intermingle, just as the college kids do during the weekend parties. Before you know it, everyone's got some sorta cold or flu bug or whatever. I had it a couple weeks ago, and have had lingering sinus/allergy issues before even that bug hit. I don't know if it's a sinus infection or what. I went to my doctor and she didn't think it was a sinus infection, and so recommended I try a neti pot for some nasal irrigation (totally fun. let me tell you - the best time of your life. I'll consider posting videos later...)

After two weeks of neti potting, I'm finding it's not really helping... So another call to my doctor's office, and I've been set up with the antibiotic Cefdinir. Try remembering that name to tell your pharmacist friend Randy when you're a bit tipsy while out on a Saturday nite birthday celebration for Dave this past weekend... LOL "Um, it had a lot of i's, and I think a c and n and d and r?" LOL (Seriously, I would've been that flaky about the name even if I hadn't had one draft beer! I'm lousy with medical names...)

So I've been taking the antibiotics for about 4 days now, and so far I'm not seeing any great results as far as the sinuses go. I HAVE, however, decided I need to start eating yogurt, which I'm honestly not very fond of (too tangy sour for me), but I know it's good for building up the beneficial stomach critters when something like an antibiotic might be killing them off and making you feel more like, well, um, here, I'll let this video show how I feel...
