You need vitamin d supplements. Like 50,000 mg once a week tablet. I got those from my doctor and am way better. You should have called me ;)
Have you tried coughing/hocking loogeys on other people to rid your body of germs and pass them along? Maybe the little virus germs just need to be passed along to a new host.
Poor thing! I don't know how much medicine you're taking. . .if it's mostly a congestion problem I recommend Tussin or another cough syrup where the main ingredient is guaifanesin. Mike's been really sick for like a month and that's about the only thing that's helped loosen up the mucus. . .about 2T every 4 hours (even if it says every 6 on the box. . .I like to live on the edge like that) Otherwise if it's lots of different symptoms I really like Tylenol Blue, same amounts. Massive amounts of medicine is the only thing that ever makes me feel better.
Good grief! You paid $120 for a follow up visit with a strep test??? I paid $100 for a first visit and a strep test and that's with no insurance.
Then again, I do live in BV.
Yes vitamin D.

I hear you're going to L.A. Maybe the smog-infested air will choke out the toxins in your body. :-) Get well soon.
