I’m sure that that scenario has been used by a novelist before now.
Tom Clancy, Executive Orders
Yes, this is a nasty, nasty virus. It lasts and lasts. I am also dizzy, head spins around - I think it’s more than jsut from the head congestion, it may be affecting the CNS, just as swine flu H1N1 also affected the CNS.
In some ways this is worse than when I had swine.
Trisham - if you have not had this, be careful and don’t be around anyone coughing, sneezing, hacking or otherwise looks sick. Most people around here also had vicious running nose, and often red/peeling/aggravated nose etc. So anyone who looks like that - run - run away~!!!
I got mine from the neighbor...didn’t think about ‘vertigo’ being contagious! She was past the sneezing, etc. My doctor insisted I start taking the Z pac antibiotics she prescribed, so I started them at noon today, then on the news tonight they say they are killing people....I have SUCH good timing! LOL...if I disappear one day soon, you’ll know why.
[snip]Azithromycin, a commonly-prescribed antibiotic, may trigger a potentially deadly irregular heart rhythm for some patients, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Tuesday.
The antibiotic that’s sold as Zithromax, Zmax or sometimes referred to as a “Z-Pack” is prescribed to treat bacterial infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or ear infections.

Do you have a secondary lung infection? I took Zithro because I determined I had a secondary bacterial lung infection. If I had not figured that, I would have avoided antibiotics since they don’t do anything for viruses.
I did have irregular and fast heart episodes but I attributed it to the pneumonia which can also cause that. THEN I read about the Zithro the other day.
I guess I won’t be getting any to have on hand!!! I did read that Zithro does that for people who have already slow heart rate (yup, me) and/or low potassium in the blood. So maybe get some potassium to take? Live on bananas? Or maybe there are potassium tablets or something?
I’m taking some extra potassium pills along with smart water that has electrolytes. I’m SO tired of trying to take care of this body, it gives me no break! lol
