LYC, now entering Day 5 in my persistant little undiagnosed illness . . .

Posted by call me Ishmael (aka pacrat) Dec 4 '14, 11:03

just spent 1 hour 45 minutes at a local health clinic just to spend 10 minutes in a patient room w/ a doc who suggesting, in as many words, "it could be flu, could be something else. it's hard to tell, and we don't have the means to test for flu here. just keep self-medicating with OTC stuff like you've been doing all week and stay hydrated."

wow, I could have charged myself some money for that information and gone on about my day . . .

      - Did you ever try flat sprite? Buy a bottle and shake all the fizz out of it. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 11:22 3
        
        Forgot to say, then drink it. Just shaking it and putting it down again won't make you feel better. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 11:22 2
        
        i was like . . . "Whaaa -- ?" . . . but seriously, flat Sprite helps? -- nm - call me Ishmael Dec 4, 11:23 1
        
        It will for intestinal and stomach discomfort. Don't ask me how. Stay on that for a day or two and see how you get on. - Loyola Dec 4, 11:25
