    H-I-! well, the chart says that's the dose for genital warts and gu stuff. You said it was your throat. Throats technical name is pharynx--inflammation of the throat is pharyngitis. sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses. Not sure what to say. other than what I have. Okay being pushy......still can't hurt to ask the person on call at the office that ordered the drug. If you say you'd rather not I'll respect your choice and leave the subject alone.  Hugs sassy

    Thanks so much Sassy.... It's just a relief to see you always here....  It's like I want to check with you, before I take anything....  I'll get a prescription from my Doc, and then I'll say "Hold on folks..... gotta check this out"..... Then I'll call you...Ha! 

    If you could just fix my ears!  And my car!....... just kidding about that one.....

    Hi1, well if you look at the box it is identified as the dose for genitourinary stuff. chlamydia(sic) is a std. You been foolin around girl LOL.  Sorry bad joke. they wouldn't test you for that unless you told them you were fooling around.  It's not something you look at visually and say that's chlymidea(sic). Would have to be done under microscope and possibly gram stain(not sure if it has to be stained). Be back dogs calling---schats ratted dini out for jumping the fence.

    Golf girl again just don't know what to say. Zithromax is a GREAT drug, but has to be used at the right dose. Just worried. Please, just look at the link find the box. Again if you say sassy "Im happy, just leave it be" Honest I will.

    H-I-1----laryngitis is inflammation of the laryrnx. The larynx is the voice box. it's in the area of the pharynx.  Pharynx connected to the larynx, larynx leads to the trachea, trachea leads to the lungs. Going way out on a limb. minimum dose should be 500 mg for 3 days or the standard zpak ---risk here at wrong dose is bronchitis or worst case scenario pneumonia.

    You haven't told me to shush yet :)

    absolutely not...we love & respect your knowledge, and your tenacity for the facts...

    But we can move on too something way more intriguing than my cough..who has the most unusual News Years plans ? A exotic restaurant or a night at the local bowling alley? I thought of bowling, because I was invited to go on New Years Day...So far, my plan is to save my energy & possibly bowl on 1/1/14 & attend a potluck afterwards. Someone in our sleepy group must be doing something fun, will not Enerva, no hog riding yet...do the still call them "hogs"?

    Golf Girl..... Sassy won't rest until she has fixed you, and all the rest of us....  It's just IN her, to finish a project.... and you are her latest project.  

    Cough?  You say cough?  You guys don't know cough!  I mean when I get sick, I scare even all the neighbors!  I think it is an inherited thing...  I coughed so hard with Bronchitis once, I broke my rib.... I had an under-wire bra on.   I have a hell of a time, trying to find something to quiet my cough!  Asthma is different....  It is maybe related, but even the Nebulizer doesn't stop the cough.... Nor that mucous reliev....  NyQuil helps the most.... 

    Also DH hitting me over the head with a rubber mallet......  then he can sleep.  Loopy  I've even tried sleeping outdoors on the swing, with blankets and a pillow....  I didn't sleep, but it was a beautiful starry night.....   I find, I just have to ride out a cough...... alone.... in the next county.

    So sorry for your loss April. May peace and love surround you and your family at this difficult time.

    I live in an area that has mailboxes at the corner where I walk down to and pick up my mail. It also has a mail slot where the neighborhood can mail out their outgoing mail, like bills, cards, and letters. Didn't realize my mail carrier was on vacation and the part time carrier never picked up the outgoing mail. So I spent the morning calling banks, phone co, and credit card company apologizing and explaining why payments were late...ugh! I am old school and would rather pay bills my mail and not online. Plus i want to save the postal service from modernization and privatization. But after this mistake by the carrier, which cost me late fees, I might  have to change my ways. Do most of you pays bills by mail or online? Some people don't even own a checkbook anymore....

    Chevy--yeah your right. LOL. I get way intense. Like I said, make Felix Unger seem normal.

    Pawprint, learned online banking from Dh before he passed away. Scared me at first. Now everything is on line. Even charities and family. Rarely write a check. Did keep one credit card strictly for mecical/pharmacy. That way it was easy to track for tax purposes. Easy to figure budget too cuz you can track better. A bill comes in, I sit and put amount and pay date in bill payor. The bank does the rest.

    I check, outgo and credit card charges every day or other day. Picked up stolen credit card number charges within one day about two years ago.

    DH is afraid of online anything....Loopy  But I pay "my" bills online.... Like the Water-bill, Sprint, and Qwest....  He still wants to send in the Comcast and Xcel Energy...  He is just old fashioned I guess.  But he FINALLY had his retirement check deposited directly in the bank, along with his SS check.... 

    I don't carry a check-book, and I only carry around my Debit/Credit card when I need to use it!  If you gals carry any cards like that, you should carry them in an aluminum case, or make your own with foil....

    I had my Card "read" while shopping in a mall!  That night MasterCard called me to ask if I had just authorized a charge for $1500 for an airline ticket!  THEN another one a few minutes later for $450, from FLORIDA! 

    They can "read" your cards, then charge whatever they want!  MasterCard cancelled my card, issued another one..... I had to call my Credit Union, because of Identity Theft, and then report it to the Police station, the IRS, and I had to report it online to the major credit reporting sites.   About 6 months after THAT, CapitalOne called, because "someone" was trying to open a line of credit in my name, WITH my address and SS#.

    So I carry a little cash.... and leave that card at home, unless I need to purchase something with it....  I now carry a letter from the Police Dept, showing my Identity was stolen...  I have a code, when we fill out our taxes....  It's really a mess, so just be careful...!

    Chevy I putmy credit cards in a used almond foil bag, had it out at the grocery. Absentmindedly put it on the line. Couldn't find my card-------DUH------Then realized what I'd done. (Blushing). Took it off the line pulled out the card and the checker refunded the cost of the almonds.

    Did the same as you ---put a fraud alert through Experian----one will notify the other two. Then each send you reports. It can be a 90 day fraud alert or permanent. Thanks, I have to recheck status on if I followed through on the permanent. Don't remember.

    I didn't know about re-newing anything....  The IRS just went me a new "pin" number for when we file our taxes...  My credit union also has a "fraud alert" if they ever get my new acct #.    I also check my Credit Union balances every few days, just to make sure I know if there are any changes.   

    If you "lose" your card, that is even worse.... Because you usually don't know for awhile...  But MasterCard called me that night.... even on a Holiday!  They just knew something was wrong, because of that activity....   I still had my Card in my purse...  Someone can walk by you, or be sitting down, and they can use that "reader" to steal all of your info!  Same with guys, who carry their cards in their back pockets....

    The fraud alert was for 90-120 days, if I read it right----who knows not my field. if I tried to make it permanent in that window it would show as a duplicate. So, I had to wait for the fraud alert to lapse and then redo as a permanent. Also, wanted to make a permanent alert on DH's record that he was deceased. Forget the difficulty now. It wasn't two years ago it was oct 2012.  Ran into flood period, then the basement----I didn't follow through.

    So - I shopped at Target during the "ID Theft" time and now I have to check my Visa statement every day. Grrrr

    I am THRILLED I just had a cold/flu. Usually it turns into bronchial asthma with a secondary infection, and off I go for a SoluMedrol shot in the butt, a round of Prednisone, a breathing treatment, and the famous Z-pack.

    But last summer, when I told my MO how bad I got (sounding like a barking seal when I cough, leaning over, gasping for air, trying to clear an airway) she was furious. She called it "tripodding" and said that my asthma was uncontrolled. Stupid PCP (the one I fired) had let me keep getting sick over the years and never changed my meds. After five years he finally prescribed a home nebulizer. She said that each time I got to that much distress I was doing permanent damage to my lungs, and now I could no longer afford to do that. 

    She put me on Dulera - and for the first time in YEARS I was just sick like normal people, if that makes sense. The cough I did have at night was quelled by good ol' Phenergan with codeine cough syrup.

    Interesting how she was so worried about my lungs... Wonder if that was just an asthma thing or a BC thing?

    I mostly have online, a few with checks. Did any of you get stuck the the Target mess?  I have 2 accounts getting new cards. The US needs to switch to the chip like Europe. NickyJ knows what I mean. 

    All my Xmas stuff is put away. Yeah! No special plans for New Year's Eve, have a fill that morning.

    Yikes!!  This is sure a busy thread!!  Don't know if I'll be able to keep up!!

    2nd, yeah, it gets pretty cold here sometimes.  Often below zero in the Winter.  Hmm, you may just be right about Boo.  I have recently noticed that he comes out of hiding much quicker than before after the UPS or Postwoman come.  I have started saying "It's OK Boo, it's all good, no one is here." over and over after the visit and instead of hours in hiding he is out in 10-15 minutes.  He also cringed at my hand coming toward him at first and was always hiding, but is much better now.  He still startles really easily and will lash out with claws sometimes.  He's curled in front of the fire right now, and when he tires of that will jump up in my lap.

    Hi Jazzy, yes, I see that.  I'm not sure I am going to be able to keep up with 3 busy threads!  I'll give it a try though.  Glad you got a good rest last night.

    Hi chabba, my regular UPS driver had a ride along assistant.  He dropped her off at the head of my drive way and she came to my door with package while he drove further down the road to deliver another.  He looped back and picked her up and went out to the road.

    blessings20, I have used those heat wraps on my back too.  They are wonderful!  Thanks, I know, I just feel like, yes I have bc and the trauma of that will always be with me, but I seemed to skate so easily through the whole process while others suffer so much more.

    Smaarty, Yes, one thing I absolutely knew was I didn't want to have the worry of it in the other breast so BMX was for me the best thing!

    I have to step away, posting so it doesn't disappear as post seem to do here a lot!  I don't know if I will ever catch up I'm only on page 203!

    Hugs!
