Hello, Shawn.

And all this time I thought your hallucinating was normal...er, sorry to hear
that.  I'm constantly stopped up now because I can't take decongestants either,
rendering my CPAP machine damn near useless.

I just pop a Lortab and pass out. :P  It's amazing after 16 hours of sleep how
well you can feel!  I drink lots, lots and lots of water and have to keep a
very close eye on my blood sugar when I get sick.  I've had it rage into the
500+ range before when I get sick and when it gets that high, I have to head to
the hospital.

But it's been well over a year since my last illness, but come
December/January, I'll get what I have gotten for the past 15 years or so: I'll
get a head cold which will turn into a secondary (opportunistic) bacterial
infection in my lungs which will turn into bronchitis and if I don't go in to
the docs immediately, I'll catch pneumonia for the umpteenth time.  The VA docs
tell me that I'm playing Russian roulette with my health because I try to "sit
out" the bronchitis...but when I start coughing so hard I pass out (happened at
work once!), that's when I'm made to go to the docs.

They say since I've had pneumonia more than twice in one year, I have to be
treated with strong stuff, I guess.  Last time it was a Z-Pak (azithromycin)
and some cough syrup.

I hope you feel better soon.  My boss's son had H1N1 so I know it's around in
my area.  Some of the guys at work have the flu but for some odd reason I've
not caught it yet (knock on wood).  Maybe it's all of these drugs I'm on-the
poor flu can't survive in such a jacked up blood chemistry as mine. <G>

Later,
Sean
