Hope you feel better soon @dragnlaw
For someone who rarely gets sick... it's horrid.
Maybe y'all know it as Bendryl?
Pass on the Bourbon as two shots would do me in. A bottle an a half of wine I can handle.
Good luck with the tooth extraction. I feel for you.
And Thanks all for the good wishes. It shouldn't last long, rarely lasts. Think I actually even have a fever! Wow!
which ever it is - LOL - and I'm not looking to submit my doctorate - was only trying to give it a name - saw a Ben in the title - just didn't want to use 'bennies'.
Last night was pretty bad up until about 2 or 3, then fell back to sleep until 5:30. Waiting on my coffee - so far, sinus' are still feeling funny, but no coughing yet. Not sure on the fever yet, probably hovering around 99. (for me, that's a fever, my average body temp is about 96.6 to 97)
Fingers crossed for Mom's good health.My sister stopped by my mom's place yesterday, and mom was showing some signs of a possible mild stroke or TIA. My sister is a retired hospital RN, so she called 911.
We should know a lot more today. It's nice that my sister has known the doctors who are treating mom for a long time.

I agree, that sucks. Sending positive vibes for the best possible outcome for your mother.That sucks casey. Hoping the best for your mom.
(((Hugs))) take care of yourself, eh.Well, sad story... I looked in the mirror the other day and discovered a big - huge - colossal loss... my ankles.
So... I know I can't/won't diet in the conventional ways - that ain't gonna happen, but I figure I can cut down at least on one of the carbs - my biggest downfall - bread.
Walking used to be my favourite exercise once I couldn't ride my horse anymore. But that also has been taken away from me due to neuropathy and now (argh) weight gain, which aggravates the neuropathy.
So I am now going to the YMCA and doing Aquafit. The small tiles on the bottom of the pool hurt my feet - but got some swim shoes and it is working - that problem solved. Just dealing with the leg cramps once in a while. But the weightlessness of the water is amazing on my joints, allowing the extra motion to my limbs. Yeah!!
Last couple of times I've gone early when they have open Lane swimming. LOL - actually manage 1 lap up and back with the breast stroke. Then a 1/2 lane and back with the crawl - that really whacked me out. Luckily there is always a 15 minute break before the aquafit class starts for me to get my breath back.
But I think one of the best parts is, I didn't get any cramps doing the laps - was one of my fears in the deep end. Although I will say I've always been pretty agile in the water and swimming with just my legs or just my arms has always been in my routines. But never in agonizing pain that doesn't go away - neuropathy cramps aren't just "charley horse cramps".
So hopefully folks, you will hear back from me and I haven't gone to a watery grave at the bottom of the YMCA pool.
In the past when I’ve had problems with Charlie horse leg cramps I’ve found keeping an unwrapped bar of ivory or similar soap under the covers helps. A couple of rubs on the bar with my feet seems to help prevent the cramps.@dragnlaw, I have found that a Magnesium tablet usually takes care of my leg cramps which are the Charlie horse variety. Maybe it would help with your leg cramps.
