Hi all
Wanted to post here for traffic. I've just had to call my doctors 132 dimes to even get through to speak to them.
I've been 'ill' since February. Went to doctors and saw the nurse who said she could hear some crackles & gave me Amoxicillin for 7 days. Took it and was still coughing after for a couple of weeks but felt a bit better. Then 6 weeks (ish) ago I started coughing again really chesty and phlegmy (tmi) - I went away for the weekend and whilst away my friends commented on my cough and how unfit I was as I was getting out of breath easily.
So I went to the Drs again and he asked lots of questions the heart issues in family & about lifestyle etc. Listened to chest and said had s bad chest infection - another 7 days of amoxicillin given. Also sent for ECG (normal) chest X-ray and bloods.
It's now almost a week since I've finished that course and I'm worse than ever, no appetite tired all the time and coughing loads.
WIBU to say I don't want more antibiotics I want something better?! I can't carry on like this...
