I've been keeping up with your posts about that on facebook. I hope he feels better soon.

Wow, sounds like you're feeling pretty crappy! I hope you will get better soon! I'm not sick, and hopefully I won't get sick for awhile. I shouldn't because I recently had an extremely traumatic event happen to me and I had to take thousands of mg's of different antibiotics all at one time, so my immune system is in super good contition right now lol. I'm not sick but I am sitting inpatient in a hospital going on my 6th day..... figure that one out lol

Update if you go get fluids - I hope they make you feel better!


Rocephin... I think that was the antibiotic that really helped mess me up worse!

Actually, antibiotics don't necessarily keep you from getting sick. They do nothing against viruses and nothing against the bacteria resistant to whatever you've been taking - in fact it can make it easier for those resistant ones to hit you.

Please be very careful in the hospital as it can be a source for those bacteria. Some of the worst ones are not killed by the alcohol disinfectants.
