How am I feeling? :/

I have a fever. My chest as torso hurt from coughing.

This is the third day on my 4th antibiotic. IF this all stems from an infection in my sinuses, I should be getting better right?

My mom says my face, neck and arms seem swollen. DH says he could cook eggs on me that I'm radiating so much heat. I'm still not eating much of anything - I just have no appetite.

If remarkable progress is not made by Monday, I'll go back to the doctor then. I just don't know. I'm open to ideas here. Right now I've already had an antibiotic shot and 3 types of antibiotics orally. I take probiotics daily anyway and have increased those. I'm alternating tylenol and ibuprofren to keep the fever low (it's been as high as 105.4*). As well as taking allergy meds and antinausea meds.

That is horrible I hope your fever breaks soon and you begin to mend

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, Em. I hope you feel better soon!

I'm so sorry Em!!!! I would think that the antibiotics would be helping by today for sinus infection...and never let your fever go that high again...it is dangerous!!!

This may sound pretty stupid...but do you happen to have a tooth bothering you...as in an upper back molar? I ask because after 2 rounds of antibiotics a few winters ago, my sinus infection was not getting better. Then an upper back molar on a perfectly good tooth started aching badly. Turns out the root of that molar had grown through up into my sinus cavity =inherited that from my Dad= and the sinus infection did not go away until I had that tooth removed. I'm probably just weird, but thought I'd mention it just in case.

Hope you get better soon!!!!

You're not weird bonbean. My mom actually had that problem too.

I don't have any teeth bothering me right now though. I wish it were that simple :/

Bon, if your weird I guess I am too. I used to get a horrible sinus infection about once a year. Then I managed to pull off an upper back crown and they couldn't save the tooth. I haven't had a sinus infection since (thank God!!).

I meant to post this last night but it slipped my fever brained mind.

Broody Chronicle update:

The EE broody has left her nest and it has been taken over by Dove who is broody again. But not to fear - the EE is still broody...she's just stolen every single one of Helga's guinea keets! So now Helga has no one to care for but seems ok with it.

Another EE, Chantilly, seems to be going broody. I'll just let her set an empty nest though. I figure if I need to shove late developing eggs or chicks under her then she could be useful that way.

Skeeter has gone broody again. And back to her favorite spot in the barn to do it. Since her nest is directly above where the goats sleep we'll just let her brood there again.

I hope you feel better soon. Hubby and I both have been under the weather this week but at least I can still get things done.

I hate to jinx myself but maybe I'm doing a little better today...lack of a fever...cough doesn't want to tear out my lungs anymore...
