do you feel like you just get a break and things go backward?

 
or you find a med that works for you.... only to get repeated little infections?
 
I'm so frustrated.....
 
I postponed my shot last week due to an infected blister.. of all things.
 
I did my shot on Sunday... and now I have a sore throat..  I gargled salt water in the bathroom at work.. no relief....
 
this is crazy=making!!!!!!
 
ETA: I know this is small potatoes.. in the big picture.. but   *sigh*
 
 
babs102008-06-02 09:55:19I thought you really only had to stop meds for a respiratory infection.  Or if you get a little cough so that it doesn't turn into an infection.Yeah I know where you are coming from Babs, its so frustrating to stop and start meds when theres a risk of infection only to start again and end up with a sore throat. Have you tried gargling with TCP (not sure if its called something else there) it works wonders for me......I hope you feel better soon. HugsI called RD last week about the infected blister.. he said do not take shot...
 
so I waited til it cleared up and then waited two days... yesterday I took my shot.
 
today... I have a sore throat... and the damn blister is aggitated by my shoes/pant leg..
 
I want to crawl into a ball.. and hide.,...
 
I was so looking forward to swimming....  but I don't know if that's a good idea..
 
I feel neurotic (Am I neurotic?

I gargled w/ warm salt water.. It's all I have at my disposal now at work..
 
I'm incredibly thirsty but that's 24/7 anyway...
It's just that ALL the little things ADD UP!
 
Hang in there!
Babs, I think this makes all a little neurotic. [/QUOTE]
 
at least I'm in good company  I'm "keeping positive"  and hope that helps!!
 
Bodak.. "goodvibes" to you that you ward off what ever was knocking on your door!! 
 
Got antibiotic for this foul foot infection...  I have to be more careful of my shoes and where they rub causing blisters... since I don't feel it.
[QUOTE=Bodak]I had the sniffles last Saturday and did not know where it was headed so took all the shots Saturday night.
I'm still here without any worsening of the flu but feeling rather flat and a bit of the dizzies.
Hopefully it stays that way and I can fight it off completely.

Lots of rest, lots of fluids!!!!
