Went to the rapid med for a second time in five days. They started me on amoxicillin for the next 10 days and gave me two steroid shots in the buttocks. Appropriate location as this flu has been kicking me in the buttocks for the past eight days.
I looked this up. Yes, you can drink alcohol while taking amoxicillin. The alcohol will stop amoxicillin from working. Moderation is the key. Might help you go to sleep. The alcohol wears off relatively quickly, but you are asleep, which is good when you’re sick, and the antibiotic is still there to fight off the infection. Not recommending it, but that’s probably what I would do too. Sleeping is always difficult when I’m sick.Take your hat off and hang it on the bedpost, lay down and start drinking whiskey. Continue drinking whiskey until you see two hats.
Go to sleep. When you wake up you will be well!

Brian, I'm so sorry to hear about your back pain! I've had a little of that, but nothing like you've described. I can't imagine the pain. My wife had two fused in her neck ten years ago, with many months of her sleeping in the recliner just like you describe. It was miserable for her, just as I suspect it is with you. Sending my best thoughts and prayers for your speedy recovery friend!!!!!..... Then a week later I wake up with a pinched nerve in my back and it has been the most debilitating thing I have ever encountered. The pain radiates from my back around my left hip and down the front of my thigh to my knee. ......Have an MRI scheduled for 4/1 and a neurosurgeon visit on 4/9. Orthopedic docs said it ain't bone related so I am likely looking at an issue with a disc in the L2/L3 area of my lower spine. ...
Amen Mel but make might as well make it a really good BourbonTake your hat off and hang it on the bedpost, lay down and start drinking whiskey. Continue drinking whiskey until you see two hats.

I hear you WRT a pinched nerve. I woke up Christmas morning two years ago with a pinched nerve in my neck.Doug, hoping you get some relief soon. About 5 weeks ago I came down with the flu and it was rough. Then a week later I wake up with a pinched nerve in my back and it has been the most debilitating thing I have ever encountered. The pain radiates from my back around my left hip and down the front of my thigh to my knee. My left leg is numb on the surface down to my knee. Walking has been the hardest because the pain manifest itself deep in my thigh. For the first three weeks I could not sleep in a bed. Had to sleep in a recliner. Have an MRI scheduled for 4/1 and a neurosurgeon visit on 4/9. Orthopedic docs said it ain't bone related so I am likely looking at an issue with a disc in the L2/L3 area of my lower spine. Sucks being in so much pain and having to work! On the bright side, it makes waiting on my finish kit easier to tolerate!
