I went to a local walk-in clinic at 8pm last night with a fever of 102.9.
I was there 2 weeks ago with fever, chills, muscle aches, congestion, etc.
They drew a blood sample, and determined it was a bacterial infection.
Prescribed erythromycin. Three times a day for 10 days.
And I took them religiously.
I started feeling better after the 2nd day.
But after I was finished, I started getting cold-like symptoms again.
Then the fever hit me yesterday like a ton of bricks.
Different doc at the clinic asked if I didn't have prescription covered insurance,
because he didn't understand why the first doc prescribed an "inferior" antibiotic.
$11 for the erythromycin, compared to $115 for the Biaxin they put me on this time.
With my insurance, I only had to pay $25.
I'm still running a fever, still achy, missed out on Christmas with the in-laws which was today.
(so I guess it wasn't all bad)
