I had ear pain by time I went so I knew it wasnt just a virus anymore. URI and ear infection. Yay me. Given 5 days of abx. They didn't work well enough so I end up sicker and back at doc now with URI still running rampant and infection in my other ear and an awful cough...
Given stronger abx and steroids (medrol dose pack) this time. I didn't notice any impact first day. I was hoping steroids would jump start my energy a little, day 2 still not feeling it, day 3 I wake up with a little energy, enough that I load dishwasher and start it, start a load of laundry AND change sheets on my bed to get rid of germs. Then I ran out of steam and crashed... Day 4 I woke up tired. I can feel that the daily dose of steroids is decreasing as the energy level isn't what it was but since I was feeling a little better, hubby decided to take me out to lunch since I haven't been out of the house (except for Doc appts and pharmacy pickups) and he's is going on travel for 3 weeks, so he wanted a date day. I enjoyed our lunch (PS: Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao in Cherry Hill, NJ is AWESOME, I highly recommend it) but I was so wiped when I got home that I couldn't sleep, my body was so achy, I couldn't get comfortable and as it was too early to take my nighttime meds so I have just rested in bed until now when I can take my meds and get the rest my body so desperately needs right now. 🙏🙏 for a restful, restorative sleep...
