I'm fighting for my health
🕑 Added 2017-08-12 04:51:25 +0000 UTC This is beginning to sound like a broken record. I woke up this morning with such a sore throats I couldn't swollen and have another eye infection. I went to a doctor for the 5th time on 15 days and they are concerned with how many infections I'm getting and how they seem to almost clear up and come back again. This time he put me on an anaerobic antibiotic in the hopes that one or more of the infections I have just were not covered by the broad spectrum antibiotic he put me on before. He also gave me new eye drops that are slightly different also.My doctor said if this doesn't clear up in a week they are going to start doing some blood work to determine what is going on with my immune system. He did however give me some good news! He said my right ear looks perfect now and is no longer infected and my left ear which I've still got some hearing loss doesn't look nearly as bad and my pain level is very low compared to the first 10 days which my pain level was extreme.
We are quarantining my house for the next 5 days so we don't risk exposing me to any new bugs while I finish this new round of antibiotics. I want to keep you all updated since your my bosses in this career path I've chosen and you need to know what is going on. The second I'm healthy again I'm getting my gym membership back and planning lots of trips outside of the house. Life is just too short and this last 2 weeks has felt like 6 months since I can't do much. The doctor also said I need to drink as much water as possible and sleep any time I can to give my immune system its best chance at beating this.
I love all you guys and thanks for the support, I'll keep you updated but I'm confident that things are improving since pain is down, I can hear much better and the latest symptoms are different with exception to the re-infected eye. So the end is in sight and unless I end up having immune system issues this should clear up now that the new antibiotic covers the rest of the spectrum. However if this doesn't work there really aren't any other antibiotic options that are any broader so I have to hope this is going to work!
I also spoke with another friend today that also has double ear infection right now and they also had to do 2 rounds of antibiotics to get it sorted so I'm hoping I just have the same thing with a respiratory virus on top. We also did some deep cleaning yesterday in the bedroom and bathroom to further minimize my contact with any more germs.
Please tell me some jokes down below to cheer me up because this is eating away at me not being the ball of energy I usually am. Also, tomorrow afternoon I'm going to see if I can get setup to live stream in my bedroom so we can maybe do some gaming if I'm feeling well enough. I have to find ways to keep working at least a little or I'm going to go insane.
Thanks everyone!

Rest up, get well soon. We'll be here when your healthy.
Thank you everyone for the great laughs! I'll be back again full time soon. I'm feeling much better, just need more rest so this second round of antibiotics can do their thing!
