Politics in a Nutshell...

Hahaha...so true. Your thoughts?

Medicine 101

I'm too sick to blog. Blah. What have I learned in two weeks? My intuition of not trusting walk-in clinic doctors is right, they don't diangose you properly and give you antibiotics for no reason. And we all know what that leads to. Antibiotic resistance, so when you actually DO need antibiotics, they won't work. Here's a primer in medicine: DISCLAIMER- this is not meant to override any professional medical opinions!!! This is just me and my sickness talking.

- If you have a cold/flu, don't bother going to the doctor. It's viral and no medication of any sort will help. Unless you want a nasal spray to clear up your nose, that might help. The best thing: take an antihistamine. It'll clear up your nasal passages and dry out your runny nose. Well, it worked for me. Sort of. Just suck up the misery, it'll go away. The common cold lasts a few days and the flu lasts up to two weeks. Oh yeah, and wash your hands like crazy. Its the best way to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.

- Antibiotics are for bacterial infections. They are not cure-all miracle drugs. Be wary.

- Codeine is a good cough suppressant. (according to published literature) So pop those Tylenol 3's! (of course, under a doctor's supervision).

- No matter how much you dislike needles, get your flu shot. I'm learning that the hard way.

- And last but not least, the flu shot will NOT prevent the Avian flu.

'Tis the season to get sick, so good luck in your battle against whatever malady might befall you. I wish you all the best of health. I have a feeling some of you are going to need it.

Back to Blogging...

I'm sort of back! Only because my fans miss me so much. Hahaha its been exactly three months to the day that I haven't updated so now I'm doing something. But it's not really anything. It's just a "hi how are you" type of post. So please feel free to comment. I know the majority of the comments will be "you suck!" but it's still a comment. Let me know how you're doing. Me? I'm busy with work and work, most of you know that already. For those of you who didn't, well I am. And '24'. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the most awesomest show on TV right now. (Yes, awesomest is a word...well at least now it is) So yes, please drop by and leave a comment, I promise the next blog will be more current and less nonsensical, so stay tuned. =) In the meantime, cheers and enjoy!
