Fever has come back down again but the ache in my back/side area is still worrisome so I’ve decided to use my standing lab orders tomorrow. This is the only real benefit of having monthly lab orders – avoiding the GP! I was tempted to take some antibiotics I have lying around from when my lymphocytes dropped over the summer, but decided against it since I’m pretty sure if the tests come back positive for anything that I will receive a note with a prescription from my doctor in short order anyway. I probably still would have started myself on a course but I’m not sure of the exact dosage and Dr. Google suggested that for the occassional UTI (which this BETTER be) the antibiotic that I have may not be the first thing to try.
If things are worse in the morning (please don’t be worse in the morning) then perhaps I’ll drop in on the Urgent Care Clinic instead of the lab. But the tylenol has been doing an ok job of keeping the fever down so far so it can’t be that bad right? And a hot shower did wonders for my aching joints. It was probably also good to wash away some of those germs and clamminess. I’m tempted to wash the sheets too even though I literally just washed them. I just feel like it can’t be healthy to sleep in the same environment I was sweating all over last night.
Side note, it’s seriously amazing to me that I’ve become that person. The one who lives in an immaculate house and gets excited about actually having time to do chores on the weekend.
