It got better but the next day it got worse. Now I'm in a hospital. I had to call an ambulance. First time.
I fucking hate hospitals. EMS doctors arrived in 5 minutes and before they were done ambulance arrived. Then I waited 8 fucking hours in the ER for them to properly process me and give me a bed and the antibiotics etc I need and am here for.

Not dead yet

Seems to be getting better

I'm home, but I'm not much in a better shape. Holy fuck this has been the worse hospital stay I've ever had.
They nurses couldn't even take a blood sample. "Can't take it due to skill issue? Don't need it LMAO"
I got to experience modern treatment of cough: Inhaling construction dust in 32C weather.
They found that after 5 days yeast infection grew up from my initial swab. It took them 3 days to give me medication for it and they didn't even fucking tell me, nurse just came one day with a new pill and asking the doctor was a huge nuisance.
They couldn't even write the correct information in the fucking release note.

Fuck this fucking shit. I either caught a new infection or the antibiotics they gave me in the hospital didn't fucking work and it's back.

3 different antibiotics in 3 weeks. Yay

I don't think the new antibiotics are working...

GP sent me to the hospital. Luckily they didn't keep me there but gave me additional "booster" antibiotics and booked a lung specialist appointment tomorrow.

It was getting quite better, but now it started getting worse after I finished the antibiotics

@hispanicweeb

@matrix you should've been there already nigga, what the fuck are you doing

@matrix dude! you need to get better! if it really is to the point where you think you might be at risk of DEATH please go to the hospital!

@beardalaxy Well, the reason is that I'm not in a state to go there normally and wait it out and frankly there's nothing they can do unless they have some mega OP mucolytic (without being invasive). Sorry, but I'm a doomer pussy so I'm overdramatizing. Perk of living close to a city is that EMS is actually really close, so death isn't actually a realistic possibility.

Thankfully, the antibiotic I had stashed away seems to be working, I got some sleep and I managed to properly caught a lot of phlegm so I think I'm gonna make it.

@matrix good to hear :)

@matrix Get better, dude

@matrix Get well soon!

@matrix 8 hours? That's crazy! I'm glad you're getting taken care of and I hope you have a swift recovery now! Keep us updated!

@matrix nope nope nope nope nurse

@matrix and they wonder why nobody wants to go to the hospital. I'm glad you're home now man, but damn I hope you get better that really sucks.

@matrix
Wow. you're speedrunning this shit now.

@matrix

@matrix So, you are fighting for 3 weeks now?

Man, I hope you get well soon.

@matrix so sorry you gotta go through this shit dude

@beardalaxy not my first time

@matrix wait, is this the 'vid? Or is it just a really bad infection?

If so, yeah it took me over a month before I felt better.

Anyways, get well soon!

@Aldo2 I've had it too. This is an infection

@matrix
1st post 36 days ago

That's so fucked up. I really hope you get well already.

@LukeAlmighty

@matrix
Do you know how all the murricans say, that we have the best healthcare in the world?

Somehow, they always miss the waiting times. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Stay strong

@hakui >inhale bleach
bruh

@matrix hypochlorous acid isn't sodium hypochlorite silly

@hakui @matrix peroxide isn't bleach lol

@icedquinn @hakui "Bleach is the generic name for any chemical product that is used industrially or domestically to remove colour (whitening) from fabric or fiber (in a process called bleaching) or to disinfect after cleaning"
yes it is

@matrix @icedquinn alright continue having your airway clogged then

@matrix @icedquinn @hakui Wikipedia is confusing, if you call hydrogen peroxide bleach people will get confused but not if you say you bleached something with hydrogen peroxide.

@sun @matrix @icedquinn bleach is a noun and people take it you are referring to hypochlorite

bleached is a verb and has nothing to do with the thing you use to bleach with

@hakui @icedquinn @matrix yes that is what I said.

@sun @matrix @hakui i used to use peroxide until my nebulizer's battery door died in a floor dive

@icedquinn @sun @matrix fellow peroxide huffer hifiev

@hakui I was referring to peroxide. hypochlorous acid is an interesting suggestion though

@matrix peroxide breaks down into water after oxidizing whatever is in your airways

hypochlorite on the other hand breaks down into chlorine. big difference

@hakui Chlorine causes a lot of irritation to mucous membrane. Not a great idea inhaling it imo.

@matrix yes that's why i huff peroxide instead of bleach
