I had been feeling worse each day for about a week until it hit full force on Wednesday evening. It happened. I was sick. The big question was could this be a new sick? Would I heal faster? Would weaker antibiotics work on me now? I already had an appointment with Dr. Foxx about my eyes on Thursday. I was still having problems with periods of blurry vision. Instead of making an appointment with Dr. Greisner too, I just decided to let Dr. Foxx take care of my sickness too. When I arrived, Dr. Foxx wasn't there and they placed me with one of his partners, Dr. Hayslip. I was okay with that, but had to explain my entire history to her before should could treat me.
As far as my eyes, she ordered an MRI and diagnosed me with ocular migraines. She prescribed Topamax on an increasing taper. She said it should stop or at least significantly reduce the blurry vision.
For the sickness, she said I had bronchitis and a sinus infection. She felt like a weaker antibiotic would do the trick and prescribed Bactrim. She said I should feel much better by Friday afternoon. If not, I should return to the office Saturday morning.
Saturday morning I woke with a fever and my symptoms were worse. It was as if I had not been taking any medicine at all. I called the office and went back in as Dr. Hayslip had suggested. Of course, it was another different doctor who I had to explain my entire history to all over again. He switched my antibiotic and increased my steroids. I was hoping this would do the trick.
