I started getting sick two days ago. It started out with a sore throat. runny nose... I thought it was a cold.
By midday yesterday, I was hacking coughing nonstop, sinus headache off the scale, and chest hurt all the way through to my back. I just figured it would pass. My other half, however, went into his superprotective mode, insisting that I see a doctor, etc. (Well, I admit I do the same thing when he gets sick,)
No better today -- called in sick. I've gotten an appointment for this afternoon. My doc is on vacation, but another one had room.
Thing is (maybe just a nurse thing?) I feel like I shouldn't be wasting the doctor's time. I mean, I don't think I'm going to die from this, although I am beginning to think it might be pneumonia instead of just a bad cold or flu-bug. I also have asthma, so that could make it seem worse than it is.
Am I overreacting? Should I just wait it out? Opinions. please.
