I may have to break down and go to the doctor.

I am glad you are going to the doctor, not to be mean but you should not wait and get checked up regularly. Even if you dont want to you need to because your family depends on you. I hope it is just something simple antibiotics can fix and that you are feeling better soon. But PLEASE do not put it off ANY longer.

Thanks everyone, the kids just got in, so I am going to leave the littlest one with the oldest one and curl up with a blanket on the couch and try to get some rest before I strangle one of them!!

I don't know about the hospital there. But our hospital will see you and you can fill out paperwork for the free bed fund. It will cut your bill down depending on your income.

Im glad you made the appointment. Even if you start to feel better...GO IN!!! Do NOT cancel. I just came home from my dr...I am on my second round of antibiotics, Inhaler, and prednisone. My blood OX lever was 90%. He was NOT happy with that. Pneumonia.....its NOTHING to mess with. It will leav scars on your lungs, and make you suseptable for future lung infections. Nip this in the bud now. Please!!!

It may have already moved into your lungs. If you have fever and chills, you have an infection. They will need to check to see if it is bacterial or viral, and treat accordingly. Pneumonia can be very deadly if not treated. Don't mess around with it. I'm so glad you are going in. Borrow money from friends/family if you really need to, they would want you healthy.

 

[what was i thinking]

i thought it said, "i may have a break down".... i thought, i am right there with on that one. lol

I had a cold for just over three weeks recently - coughing till gagging, my ears were blocked, tight chest, sore throat... it was really nasty.

Good luck.

There is a lot of stuff going around that's for sure.
Yes, please get checked out. Is there a walk in care your way that you could go to if you don't want to go to the er?
If you ask your doctors office you bill you you can probably set up arrangements for payments.
Just wanted to add. If you are on a fixed income maybe you can qualify for some sort of aid.
Please take care of yourself.
