Thread: Sittiing at home with the FLU but two new ones just arrived

  1. #1

    Sittiing at home with the FLU but two new ones just arrived

    had suspected swine flu but turns out to be the normal scottish flu , doing some paperwork
    have doped up on antibiotics having soup and watching the S""T on tv , but luckily these two new additions came today to cheer me up a wee bit and a zenith pic just for my mate cliff :D

    thanks to my good friend jed as usual for the superb orangina/ fanta watch with all the bits :)
    the orange hand is just awesome , it will have pride and place in my collection :)

    the speedy moon watch i bought for fun on monday when i was on the phone to a mate, dunno why !!! but thought id give it a go and first impressions are good , fully complete with all the bits , sticky bits are still on the back , quality is good , nice handwinding movement , plastic crystal just lovely and a nice size :)

    this omega will last longer than the last one which stayed for like a wk :D

    Enjoy the watches!

    Why are they giving you antibiotics for flu? They aren't good for viruses, they have undesirable side-effects with you (apparently), and it helps to make the antibiotics less useful in the future.

    In any case, I hope that you feel better soon.

    Best wishes,
    Bob

    +1 I always challenge my doctor when she attempts to prescribe antibiotics for me or my children. They have no effect on viruses, and I would rather save their effectiveness for the time when we (ie. humans in general) really need them. Losing your voice is a typical consequence of a throat infection, especially if you talk or sing a lot, and not a sign that the world is about to end. In any case, am wishing you a Speedy recovery. Just be sure to finish taking the whole of that course of penicillin, now that the doc has started you on it...

    Good news that it isn't swine flu, bad news that you still have that to look forward to like the rest of us. :roll:
    Nice watch selection.

    Re: Sittiing at home with the FLU but two new ones just arrived

    thanks guys :) and thanks for all the medical advice from the doctors we have amongst us :)
    and i have a good friend who has been doctor for over 15 yrs and was speaking to him the other day ,

    he has said its a common virus right now around scotland and lots of younger children have the same symptons as what i have.

    my family gp has looked after my brothers, sis , niece, nephew for umpteen yrs and this is only the 2nd time
    they have seen me in 2-3 yrs , so im sure she knows what she is doing / prescribing

    overprescribing antibiotics is a no no here and u only get it if you need it as they dont want you to build up an immunity
    to the drugs , but i guess you lot already knew that .

    Sorry to hear you're not well Alan, but is that a second exp you've got now or have you got rid of the first one from a while ago? I've been away from the forum for a while with holidays and exams, so I've a bit behind on your ever changing collection! Get well soon mate!
