I'm now entering the third week of getting my ass kicked by hoards of invaders I'd need a decent microscope to see. 11 days ago I saw a Dr. (or at least someone that had convinced other people she was a Dr.) and she diagnosed me with sinus and ear infections, as well as bronchitis. Gave me a common anti-biotic with a ten day course. After about two days, the Sinus infection seemed gone. little drainage, and no discomfort. The bronchitis never faded.

This weekend (spent at one of NC's many beautiful beaches) the sinus infection seemed to be coming back. By Monday night, it was in full force again. Tuesday was miserable. Wednesday was awful (I even took the afternoon off sick).

So yesterday I decided to go back to the (fake?) Dr. and try another course of meds. Enter Levaquin. A member of the quinolone family of anti-bitocs, it is a narcotic. That means it will dull my pain. Which is something I support. It's also addictive, which is something I don't support. (Mountain Dew excepted). And it should kick the living shit out of these infections.

So enjoy your first victory, you fucking microbial bastards. It will be your last.
