So damn confused *groan*
Jan. 13th, 2010 12:22 pmSo I got some kind of hellacious head cold, probably was a sinus infection with a side of Bronchitis. I asked my sister (who is 8 months pregnant) what I should take over the counter, because I get this shit every year and I'm not going to a dr. everytime it freakin happens. She says anything Tylenol makes is okay to take. So I start taking the super severe sinus decongestant. I tell my pharmacist friend what I'm taking and he says NO! don't take that it's got phenylephidrine or something like that in it, take Mucinex instead! So now I don't have any idea what to take. I ask the pharmacist at Walgreens, he says buy a netipot and wait it out. The pharmacist at Kroger says take Sudephed, which I thought was a big no no. My obgyn said the tylenol was okay but don't take the severe formula, take the normal strength...
I am still taking the severe formula because I am simply miserable and this has to end soon. I've been sleeping in a chair at night because I can't lay flat, and I don't want to keep my husband up with all this coughing. I have only been sleeping like an hour or so at a time, because I sleep then my lungs get full of crud then I spend 30 minutes coughing it up and then 30 minutes blowing my nose, and by then I'm not tired anymore... Last night I coughed so hard I threw up my dinner. I'm so damn miserable.... I had to cancel my birthday and I can't go to my sister's baby shower more than likely this weekend. And what's the deal with everyone saying to take different meds? shouldn't there be a definitive list that everyone gets? it seems like it's all guess work when it comes to OTC meds.
Sorry to whine I know you guys have your own problems. Hope the butthurt goes away, sometimes people are just asshats who don't have anything better to do than stir shit up.
OH! while at Walgreens bickering with the pharmacist, I picked up this pee test called Intelligender. It says it's 80% accurate, so we'll see if it's true or not, but according to that test, I'm having a girl. I really hope it's a girl. We should know in about 6 more weeks for sure what it is.
