The mysteries continue

First of all, Carolyn and Craig are fine. Yay for that!

My fever continues, but still isn't usually bothersome. My blood work is back and shows iron-defieiency anemia, so that explains the fatigue. "Something" apparently showed up on my chest x-ray, so I am being treated for pneumonia. I really don't think I have pneumonia, though. I've had it twice before, and I felt like crap and obviously had a terrible cough and rattling lungs. I don't have any of that now, and my blood work doesn't indicate any kind of infection - my white blood cell count is actually a little below normal. But my doctor still wants be to proceed with my antibiotics and do another x-ray in three weeks. In the meantime I will be going in on Friday to deal with the anemia, and I will ask about the rest of the results of my labs. I have to admit that I feel a little uncomfortable with the antibiotics since overuse has led to more resistant bacteria, but I am trusting my doctor that this is the right course of action. So now I am taking azythromyscn (commonly called the z-pack) and doxycycline. Hopefully we'll see some results soon!
