And last night I took 2 naps and went to bed early and still slept until the alarm went off. I never sleep till the alarm goes off.

They gave me something other than a z-pac. I don't remember what it's called. But they said let them know if it doesn't work and then they'll get me something stronger. It already feels like it's working though. This doctor hates to over medicate. My mom went to him once after we moved here in 97 and didn't like him because he would not prescribe all the muscle relaxers, pain pills, and anti-inflamitories she liked to take. Well, for good reason I say. I know she was addicted to them since at least the 80s, maybe the 70s.

I tossed and turned all night it seemed. I had a dream I was downtown Minneapolis with my parents and my grandparents and River. River was growing a literal mouthful of teeth and was grinding them all - so I handed her off to my mother. There was then a drunk driver in a Older dodge ram driving back and forth the wrong way on the street next to my work. He yelled something at us and I shook up a baby bottle and shot formula at him.

wtf

Yeah, that would be. I've once dreamed of my mom since her passing. That was strange too.

you are 100% wrong with your entire statement.

it's azithromycin
it's an antibiotic

it kills bacteria, not viruses.

oh sorry, the one thing you were right about, is that it's a 5 day package. 2 pills on day 1, then one pill a day for the next 4.

I am sorry i missed this little gem.

I think you missed the point. zpacks dont work for sinus infections. they are given out to insistent patients to make them go away. they think they got something that will cure their cold (which is a viral infxn)what they got was a new packaging/formulation of a very old and safe and fairly worthless antibiotic. If people would accept the 'its viral, it will go away' on a personal level and not just on a population level this sort of marginal medicine wouldnt happen. It's getting so bad that the new midlevels i have to work with think its totally appropriate.

"everybody gets cold, but mine is f!ing ebola! I need drugs doc!" get over yourself.

probably augmentin

that's usually what I get for sinus infections...z-pac occasionally, but I typically need something that I can stay on for longer because I have some pretty terrible allergies, and this part of the country doesn't help because there's so much pollen all the time. just finished taking my last pill of it on Sunday too.

lol, yes every single sinus infection in the world is due to viruses... that's why there are no such things as bacteria that will invade a WARM WET PLACE THAT IS THE PERFECT PETRI DISH.
