Yes, MY Chest IS Talking

I know you are going to say I have been inside way too long, but I am here to tell you, I can hear my chest talking..It rattles, it makes noises and that is not normal. I went to the doctor again on Friday because I was not getting any better and they upgraded my condition to bronchitis..Yes sir..I told them it was bronchitis the first time but nothing would do but for me to be diagnosed with sinusitis. They did a chest x-ray and it was fine. They assure me there is nothing talking in my chest ! Now, I need to add I have seen yet another doctor( not my regular) and her version was this. You have a fever, you are on antibiotics but since you are complaining I will give you an inhaler..which I might add when I take the doses of this and my cough syrup, my extremities turn bright red and burn and they start itching like I am on fire ! What up with that big doctor?I am just putting it down for the record, I am still coughing, still wheezing and still I can hear a noise coming from my chest! She went through this song and dance about having a normal amount of mucus in you body everyday , but ma'am....it is talking and I know this is not normal.I might have mucus but it usually goes in my stomach, not in my chest where it is TALKING!!!I don't know what to do. The red flag would have been at the doctor on Friday that I had a fever! A Fever and I have been on an antibiotic since Monday?! This one must not be working or do they want me to be sick all weekend only to return on Monday to find out that , guess what! The steroids in the cough med and inhaler you are allergic to! DUHH!!! I have not been to med school, but I am smart enough to know my own body and something ain't right..What's a paying patient to do? Sit and wait and waste seven days of your life ? Well, that about sums up my week. I hope your's has been better..

Now, that was some sure enough good football that the dogs played today in a sold out stadium full of wild people ! I wish we had been there but no..my chest is talking to loud. Loving you,even though I am down and out with the medical profession today. What on earth will they do without me to tell them what is wrong ? I know, I just can't shut up when I am ahead. Robin
