Hi, Bit of an update on myself.
Had a stinking cold and a bloody awful chest 4 weeks ago or so, braved it out until last Tuesday and `phoned the doctors on weds morning.
Was seen by the doctor 20 mins later in isolation in the staff coffee room, given 1500 mgms of Amoxicillin for the week.
Went back on Tuesday of this week and was given another weeks worth of Amoxicillin and a weeks worth of Erythromycin. So, I`m taking 3500 mgms of antibiotics a day now for the next week and i`ve been told that i probably had swine flu to start with but, because i was not treated for it, its now turned into Pneumonia! Bloody smart, feel better than i did a week ago but can`t afford to take time off of work as i don`t get paid for sick leave.
