Hi everyone - Wow lots of new faces on here which is great, welcome to all the newbies. I have been off for a while with a darn infection in my sinus's and throat and ears. I went to stay with a friend at the coast but was too ill to enjoy it and came home early. I am seeing my Rheumy next week with regards to the next step after the pain clinic.I dont think Humira is going to be an option anymore. I havent slept in 5 days for long as the infection has caused a bad cough and every time I lay down i start coughing. Please dont let this put anyone about to start humira off as it works wonders for some people with no side effects, I just have a low tolerence to meds
Did the doctor prescribe any strong cough medication? THe year I had bronchitis so bad and pulled the muscle in my back I had to stay dooped up for about three days straight on muscle relaxers, pain meds and really strong cough medication. The time while I was knocked out gave my body some much needed time to heal.
I hope you're feeling better soon. Take Care.
We're glad you're back. We missed you!
Lovie- I am on penicillin for the infection , co- codemol for pain and sudafed for the congestion. I have a linctus that my pharmacist made up himself for the cough but it wasnt helping much so my aunt gave me a recipe. Cut a spanish onion in half take a little bit of the middle out and pour brown sugar into the hole.Put a saucer over to cover it and wait 24 hours. The sugar turns into a thick liquid( which tastes disgusting) but it has eased the coughing. So I am taking "an old wives tale"
I missed everyone tooWe missed yooooouuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you seen the "anybody hear form Pin" thread? Nice to be missed, huh? Sorry your trip didn't go better. Hope your onion goop does the trick
Welcome back!!! I missed you!! I wish you felt better tho!!!!Oh honey, well, that just plain ole sucks! Sorry to hear you are sick, thats bad enough but to have it ruin your vacation, well now thats just rude!
I'm sorry you are still feeling cruddy. My grandma used to concoct weird rememdies when we were ill. One was fruit coctail with brandy poured over it. She let it set out for days and would give us a teaspoon full for our coughs. Grandmas are the best
