I was really ill during the week I had off following Christmas with a mysterious throat infection that also affected my sinuses. So, I never felt like I ever had a break following the crazy work schedule leading up to the holidays.
My doctor couldn’t see anything in my throat to indicate that I had Strep again. But, I had other signs that confirmed I was suffering from a bacterial infection. Instead of the more common ten-day course of antibiotics I was prescribed a “Z Pack,” or a five-day course of Azithromycin antibiotics. It took me five days to deal with the side affects while I was on them. And, then another ten days after that to finally feel normal and healthy again.

If you ask me, I think common illnesses have gotten nastier over the years. It’s kinda scary knowing that a “cold” might knock you out as if it were the flu or something worse. Of course, stronger bacterial infections are not like the common cold, but the fact that they take a greater toll on our bodies and immune systems just makes me very nervous about where these things are headed.
I’m glad to hear you’ve recovered.
Thanks, Kris 🙂
