In my twenties, I had a doctor everyone called " Three Shot Thompson". One of them was a B12, but the other two would vary depending on your affliction. Would bounce up fast, one of two days is all. Now, what a nightmare! What helps me is hot water and a healthy squirt of lemon juice, and NOTHING else to drink unless swallowing meds. Feel better soon🙏♥️
The last time I was sick like that I was taking Mucinex. The urgent care doctor told me that was what was causing me to continue being sick. I never took mucinex again. The sinus one. They said was making it worse
See if you can find a store or someone who sales or makes black elderberry with cinnamon, raw local honey in it with ginger and cloves That’s what I’m taking every day now for a week I was so sick Now I’m not coughing and feeling better Still having stopped up nose I have covid
LOL!! That's right they don't give us those penicillin shots like that used to. Those things were the absolute best. I think you're right it's about the pharmaceutical companies. I know about Cedarhust too. That's where my primary doctor was too. Now that I am in Delaware, I had to find someone else. The urgent care around here won't give you anything for this congestion thing we have. I hope you feel better.
@@glendasully Every winter!! That’s terrible. Do you get bronchitis every winter because of the beginning stages of COPD? And you have COPD because of your parents and John smoking (2nd hand smoke)?
I had rsv, i think you might have it, get tested also for strep throat. Flu is going around also, but get checked for pneumonia. This is dixie from texas.
Whatever you were doing probably kept you out of the hospital. Just remember what works for you and make a list for when you go to the doctor. That Augmentin probably was not good for that strain of germ, the Z-Pak probably was the one for that germ. Take your VitD, at least 5,000 units daily with food, (It needs fat to be absorbed) also VitC, maybe 2,000mg daily to start with your multi vitamin and plenty of fluids as you have been doing! When getting over the counter medicines, try to avoid ones that treat multiple symptoms. Better to get something that treats one symptom at a time. Hope you feel better after the Z-Pak! God Bless!
I’m so sorry to hear you’re sick. Sleep upright but when you heal 🙏 from your horrible virus/bronchitis, sleep flat on a flat pillow or no pillow for your neck pain. At our age we have to watch everything we do or don’t do….not easy but we will get through with Gods help
Have you seen an endocrinologist? I had my d levels checked and my thyroid years and years ago by an endocrinologist and I had no D so he put me on vitamin D3 and he said I needed to be on B12 sublingual. I was feeling horrible at that time. I am not saying you don't have a respiratory problem. you may have more going on than just one thing.
So sorry your feeling so unwell Glenda I’ve had similar symptoms ( not as bad as yours ) since 22nd of last month after this virus throwing my asthma out of controll things are slowly getting better for me hoping the prednisone will improve your symptoms in a day or two😊 David Young Brisbane Australia
I had this 2 1/2 months ago. It was awful. I took an antibiotic and prednisone. It did not help I was so congested. I started drinking mint tea and taking Vitamin C, D, Magnesium and zinc. I put vicks on my chest and the bottom of my feet with socks on after. I got rid of it.
No. It's because people think it's over and don't wear a mask. They get sick and pass it on. The virus is too smart for us. It keeps evolving to keep living. That's why we now have x.🤦🏼♀️
Hi Angel girl and everyone else 😇 I'm in the nursing home for a while now. My cat's are in a rescue place 😭. I haven't been able to text you, until now. I have to give up this phone. I'm not able to pay for it. But I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing okay 👍. I do get to watch you. Love you sweetie 😘🙏🙏
That’s crazy for thyroid medicine. Don’t you just have a copay with your supplement? Hope you get to feeling better. Winter is hard on us older people. I’ve pretty much stayed in this winter.
Are there any senior apartments closer to Jill? You go so much back and forth it would save you time, mileage and gas. It's only going to get harder as you age. Hope you feel better soon.
I applied for 2 different Senior Apts about 7 yrs ago & my name has not moved much on the list. I'm only about 17 miles from her. It's the NY traffic that's the issue.
Hope you feel better soon Glenda. Mucus is awful , I suffer from it a lot too and I'm in my 30s. The Lamonia story always makes me laugh. Chris - Scotland.
Yes a double shot always worked for me when I had tonsilitis years ago. Did your doctor give you like flonase to use so you don't get sick. My daughter always gets like you get and doc gave her flonaze and it keeps her from getting sick like you.
Awww so sorry to hear you are so sick Miss Glenda. I’m not sure how it works over in the USA however here in Australia we have nebulisers. A nebuliser is a machine used to change liquid medication into a vapour that you can inhale. It works by pumping pressurised air through the liquid to form a fine mist, which can then be breathed in through a mask or mouthpiece. So you put nebules of Salbutamol in it. This very much assists with asthma & bronchitis xo
Yes, I have a Nebulizer & use it faithfully. It didn't help. The Dr prescribed a cortisone ampule & it is helping so much already. I got up during the night & used it again
Feel better try & build your Immune system up. Try and say out this Weather. Are you still Babysitting for your daughter I hope she brings the Children to you because you keep getting Sick 2-17-2024❤
You need to rest dear. Let the meds get into your system. If your body wants to rest during the day, listen to it. You definitely need to find a closer doctor and pharmacy. Just rest. Time, decaf tea and toast. Urgent Care is very good. You should ask some of your same age neighbors at your complex who they see. You need a geriatrics doctor.
I had the sinus crap for over a month. Finally got to the doctor and within a few days I was so much better. Like you, I tried to fight it on my own for weeks. I should have gone to the doctor sooner. My cat died of pneumonia the same week. I came home that week and fell into my husband's arms and cried, I said" I'm sick and I'm sad". I was whiney and quite pitiful. I hope whatever they put you on works as fast as what my doctor put me on.
I’ve been suffering with sinus still, my doctor appointment isn’t till march, so I’m using Afrin nasal spray, & my arthritis pain medicine. Sorry you’re not feeling well, as a we she, it seems sickness lingers on & on. I’ve had breathing methane fumes since Christmas, thought it was a gas leak, had my septic pumped out on 2/2 but I’m still smelling fumes now and then? Don’t know if breathing that can cause sickness or not but I sure been coughing & lots of mucus. Fingers crossed you feel better soon.
@@glendasully thank you! My appointment for furnace cleaning is 3/27 & it’s a new furnace, could be down draft? I’m not sure, but I have a sensitive nose.
Afran is the worst thing you could do.. I had a stuffed up nose years ago and I started using that It got worse and worse It was a rebound effect finally I just threw it in the garbage can suffered for a few days and then it was gone never never again
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. I’ve been sick myself, for some time. However I just made my medicinal soup, which helps to clear out my sinuses. I don’t think that doctors can do anything about my sinuses, they just want to keep shoving pills into me.
I'm so sorry that you're still not feeling better. Prayerfully, you will start feeling better soon my friend. I'm going my orthopedic surgeon next week on the 14th I'm gonna have to tell him that I'm having worsening trouble with my one and only bendable knee joint. Plus I've made an appointment w my new primary care doctor to see why my stomach has started back hurting so bad in two different critical areas whether I eat or not to the point of tears. Especially when my back and knee are already giving so much trouble. Anyway,I hope that you really get to feeling better soon my friend. 🙏🏽💖💖💖💖💖
I had Bronchitis a month ago for three weeks. I went to Urgent Care and asked them for a steroid shot and steroid dospak. Took a week but it got me better. I had to ask for it. Praying they will give you this and hoping you feel better soon. So sorry you're struggling with this.
I’m sorry that you don’t feel good. I hate that. I’m praying for you. Is there anything I can do to help you? I understand about the neck for sure . My neck hurts so bad. I’ve had previous neck injuries from car crashes as a teen so it almost always hurts. I hope you can find one doctor to take care of you.
Awww thank you for your kindness. I don't need anything but I appreciate your offer. Try rubbing VOLTAREN on your neck. It's what got me through the Shoulder Replacement Surgery
@samanthanofal9554 A little bit. I took my first dose of meds at about 5:30 pm yesterday. I woke up at 1:30 am soaking wet with sweat & I could actually get oxygen into my lungs. Today has been better
In my twenties, I had a doctor everyone called " Three Shot Thompson". One of them was a B12, but the other two would vary depending on your affliction. Would bounce up fast, one of two days is all.

Oh no!! So sorry you were sick with that bronchitis!!
It really takes a lot out of you!!
I get it every winter & it's horrible
@@glendasully Every winter!! That’s terrible. Do you get bronchitis every winter because of the beginning stages of COPD?
And you have COPD because of your parents and John smoking (2nd hand smoke)?
I'm sorry to hear you've been so sick. Bronchitis is terrible. Praying you're well soon.
Thank you so much, Mel
Good idea about the corned beef hash! My husband will get a surprise for breakfast! Thanks!
It's so good!

That's awesome 👍

I wear my mask all the time I go out.
So do I.
Me too since I heard about virus X

Thank you for your kindness. Has the heat let up any? I hope your asthma improves & you stay healthy
I hate that you’re so sick. I hope you get some relief. Please take care. Rest, rest, rest. Love you
Don't wait too long my husband just got over pneumonia.
You need peroxide in a humidifier . And breath clean air. clean that air in your apt. Maam
I've never heard of doing that. I'll definitely look into it. Thank you
@@glendasully maam its possible . It help us through that new strain of vid . And it kept our throats from hurting too
I had this 2 1/2 months ago. It was awful. I took an antibiotic and prednisone. It did not help I was so congested. I started drinking mint tea and taking Vitamin C, D, Magnesium and zinc. I put vicks on my chest and the bottom of my feet with socks on after. I got rid of it.
I haven't done the Vick's thing on my feet, but I should give it a try
They gave out too many of those shots back in the day and now so many people are resistant to them
That is exactly why I never ask a dr. For Antibiotics the less courses, I need a year the better!
No. It's because people think it's over and don't wear a mask. They get sick and pass it on. The virus is too smart for us. It keeps evolving to keep living. That's why we now have x.🤦🏼♀️

Z- pack does work well, especially with Prednisone. Only if the doctor orders those two together. I have Asthma.
I'm so sorry that you suffer with asthma
That’s crazy for thyroid medicine. Don’t you just have a copay with your supplement? Hope you get to feeling better. Winter is hard on us older people. I’ve pretty much stayed in this winter.
I can only take name brand Synthroid and my insurance only pays for generic
