Medical

The past two months have been quite trying on me. February started off with the flu.  The fever and achiness finally went away, but that cough just lingered. And lingered. And still lingers.  Two doctor visits (GP and finally, ENT), two antibiotics, and one celestone shot later, I'm still coughing a bit, but I think I see the light. I've got a small wheeze, it's a little work to get a deep breath (which makes running unenjoyable), and now this...



I've broken out with some rash. I called the doctor thinking it was due to my antibiotic, but they said it's more likely from my celestone shot, and it should take 2-3 days to go away. What makes it worse is that it popped up in my sunburn that I got Saturday (I got the shot Tuesday morning and the rash Wednesday morning at work).  It's bothersome, gross to look at, and even more gross to touch.  It feels (and looks like) blisters. In fact, I first thought it was my sunburn blistering, but it wouldn't have taken that long to blister.  I should have it covered up, but I don't like anything touching it, including fabric.  I just keep lathering it with hydrocortisone cream. 

I'm ready for all of this to be over and for me to be back to normal.
