My leukemia's back.

So everyone in the house is now taking them?

One nice thing about everyone being sick at the same, you should then all be done with it at about the same time.. instead of it slowly making the rounds one by one and along cycle of reinfection.

Hope everyone feels better fast.

Dd #1 is the only one that is not sick. She better not get it later, and reinfect us.

Ew...

Yeah... highly likely.

I still remember with horror (and it was maybe 6 years back) how the kids and I swapped around a nasty lingering respiratory thing... so one person would be miserable for a week... then just as they were feeling better person 2 would start up....

Took over 6 weeks before we could return to the land of the living and reenter society.

That happened when I was growing up with chicken pox! Between the 4 kids in my family and the three next door neighbors, There was someone scratching for weeks!

When the girls were growing up, staggered illness happened, however, when 1 would come down with something, I'd take all 3 into the doctor. Even if the other 2 didn't have anything, their doctor would write prescriptions for all 3, and a refills on everything. It made it easier to deal with it more quickly, and easily.

Now, if 1 of the grands get sick, the doctor won't go ahead, and write something for the other 2. Dd has to take each one in, as they get sick. Having to go to the doctor two, or 3 times in the same week, because another child, or two are now showing symptoms, is ridiculous. Not to mention that treatment can be delayed, when they're booked solid, and can't get you in until a day, or two later. I've mentioned more than once, it's because there is a co-pay with the office visit, and they're greedy for the money.

Maybe, also the problem of over prescribing antibiotics to the point many are no longer effective.

Ha!

Actually.... none of my kids got chicken pox... I finally had to get them all vaccinated.

I think the no longer effective antibiotics is due to doctors not taking the time to make sure it is bacterial instead of viral.... and LOTS of people not taking the entire bottle of antibiotics.

I think doctors are getting better with making sure it is bacterial..... but if you know the first kid got a bacterial infection... well... easy to know the rest will get it too. I also think they are fleecing us.
