Position 8. One day I hope to have a system where we don't all have to rush to the phone at 8am to get a doctor appointment.

Appointment at 10:40. I'm hacking up phlegm and coughing until my lungs ache. I am often choking on thin air and struggling for breath. My throat is burning from the stomach acid last night.

Thanks, home remedies have done nothing and I'm getting worse. I fear I have been laid low by the grippe.

If I showed up late they would punish me and not let me do it

Couldn't you just have bought antibiotica

Well maybe from Pharmacy Geoff but then I'd have to wait a long time

Plus it could have been the gryppe or the dreaded lurgey

Sounds serious. The GP will see you in 6 weeks due to the severity of symptoms.

Day 1 update. The amoxillins have made me feel tired. However, the lansoprazole is doing a splendid job of combatting the nausea. I also bought some of those electrolyte drinks things because someone said it would be a good idea. They taste like lemons.

Soon comes the first test, which is to say bedtime. Will I sleep normally this night?

If you have a foreskin or are overweight, eat some yogurt or take a good bacteria supplement

You'll probably sleep normally if your stuffy nose and throat don't bother you too much

Drink some water and watch some relaxing videos

I slept okay, some discomfort but really not as bad as any other night so far. I have a night ritual of putting an audiobook on and I've Pavlov trained myself to fall asleep to them.

Why if I have a foreskin, though?

Maybe you should have spent less time on Minichan.

So an update on the Great Illness Saga.

I've finished my antibiotics and it's basically calmed down the worst. I do still cough a bit, but I've been doing that for months so it's nothing new.

I have had crazy insomnia, though. Last night I had no sleep, the night before I had 3 hours, the night before I had 4 hours, the night before I had no sleep, the night before I had 2 hours. So that's 9 hours in 5 days.

I think the antibiotics have disrupted my microbiome and it's causing strange behaviour. The days I've had no sleep are days I've ordered food, so I'll be stopping that for a while.
