I am in so much agony right now. I have a blasted sinus infection and I'm trying to cough my lungs up as well. I cannot stop coughing and the meds the doc gave me really don't help. My back is so sore and I'm afraid that I'm going to jar something loose and have to go back to the hospital! I took some Delsym (strongest cough syrup there is btw) and it's helping somewhat, but you can't take more than 2 tsp. every 12 hours! And I'm STILL coughing! I can't take the prescription cough syrup because it has codiene in it and i'm allergic to that. Oh yeah...and to make matters even more complicated---I'm diabetic! Any suggestions?

I also started back to work on Monday--only working part time for another week then it gets bumped up to 6 hours for 2 weeks, then, I should be able to go full time. It's been a very tiring week, but I've run into a lot of old friends, gotten a lot of hugs and 'where the hell you been girl' lol.

AND! I may be getting custody of my niece and nephew who are in foster care. I can't remember who the foster mom is here....I have a lot of questions. It's been such a wierd week. My brother also bonded out of jail yesterday. He came to see me first. I was talking to the guy from family services and my brother just walked into my house like he owned it. I was stunned to say the least. I told him he couldn't be there right now. I know he was hurt, but information was being passed around that he couldn't know yet. He knows now because the social worker went over and talked to them about everything (they're cool about the kids coming to me btw). I went over and gave him a hug and told him I was sorry for doing that. At least he understood.

Is it possible to get some kind of antibiotic for the infection?? I dunno about what kind of medicine to take thats OTC, perhaps the pharmacist would have some ideas. (((HUGS)))

I got a prescripsion for Augmentin (gawd what a horse pill) and Tessalon for the cough. I feel a wee bit better--at least my head doesn't feel like it's in a vice now. SO still says I have a cold. They claim they are getting it now. I say they are full of hooey! This cough is so much fun! I wake up with it and go to bed with it. Ugh.

I know exactly how you feel. I have bronchitis and the antibiotics aren't working and I have also tried taking delsym and it isn't working either. I've had this stuff for two weeks and it isn't going away. The thing I hate the most is that I stay up all night from coughing and I have no energy because I am so tired.
