Cal, you're smart and you'll whip this thing with one elbow tied behind your back.

I think I will, almost literally, since I don't use my right arm for that much right now.

My mother-in-law had the exact same thing last June, but it hit her a lot harder because she thought that it was gout at first and didn't go to the emergency room immediately, but waited for a doctor's appointment with her regular doctor, who immediately sent her to the emergency room, saying , "Go straight to the emergency room right now, or you will die."  The emergency room had IV antibiotics waiting for her when she got there.

Since I knew soon after it woke me up that it was probably the same thing she had in June, I knew to go to the emergency room right away, and I think that getting antibiotics so quickly probably saved me a lot of pain and suffering that she had to go through.  She called me earlier today and scolded me for doing too much.  My husband is leaving for India on Friday and she doesn't think he should leave when I'm still sick.

Okay, here's the schedule:

Odeon will do the laundry
Lutra will cook
One of Eris' boys will clean house.


 And I will do the dishes, I'm semi-professional!   :multitask:

I'm going on 5 months of being completely med free as far as my daily meds.  As for the occassional meds (like Xanax for panic attacks), only needed 3 in the last 3 months. So far, so good *crosses her crossable parts*

Not the morning.

 I have been taking my Strattera every day, but have forgotten my multivitamin a few times
 recently because I am also taking aspirin some mornings for various middle-age aches and
 pains.   :prude:

I just took the evening ones, minus the multivitamin and calcium.

Forgot my own thought up plan of attack.

So, feeling raw, and looking flaky. 

Pasted a good layer of zinc ointment on my face, L-Lysine first thing in the morning tomorrow.

I took my evening meds a while ago and took the morning antibiotic this morning.

Picking up the regime of L-lysine, zinc ointment and rosewater is already having effect.

Works so much better on me than the anti-biotics. Lots of stuff suggested on the internet makes no sense at all, but, these suggestions did make sense, and, it indeed works, for me.

No to the morning (bad Queen) and just took the evening.
