hey all
I know there have been a few posts about people getting colds and ending up on IVs b/c it became an infection ('tis the season). My question is...how did you know you were feeling crappy from an infection and that the cold wasn't just taking it's time to go away? I just got a head cold, probably from someone at work (I have a feeling I know who). It's only my third day with it so I know it's still in its "could-get-worse" stage but I'm just SO short of breath...more so than usual. My sinuses are mildly stuffy so it's not b/c of that. I have a feeling though that if I call the cf doc, he'll tell me to wait it out and call him next week. Until then, I can't breathe and dread the thought of having to go in for IVs so close to the holidays.
