Update your newspost about this... actually, I hope the tummy part of your immune system can beat what's going on. But there's a certain amount of defenses that come from elsewhere. This is a sinus, fever kinda thing? Either way, do take care... maybe zinc supplements or lozenges as well?

I got sick for about 24 hours with a kidney stone, home alone, sweating, wracked with pain, this past Monday...

Oh no, I'm from the States, the midlands of New Jersey in fact! Since my Pop died in December, and my siblings have been acting their baby-boomer ages (badly), I've been suffering in ways I'm unaccustomed to... but knowing that now puts me in a better position to do something about it.

Notice any improvement yet? Hope there's no chills.. that's when you have to seriously consider antibiotics, and hope it (whatever 'it' is) can be beaten back in time, before you may need a course of IV antibiotics.

Oh it's a viral cold! Yeah, no need to take Tamiflu unless it's impacting your breathing or other critical systems. Sounds like what I'd be doing in your place, though I use honey daily for my morning tea... regular sugar isn't what it used to be, and does seem to eat my enamel :\

Not terribly sanguine about Obummercare, since doctors will have to do almost twice the volume (in patients) to get the amount of pay they earn now, and with cheaper prices comes reduced quality. As a Libra, I do hope for a future balance.

Usually with probiotics, you can taste the difference in your saliva and notice changes in stool... notice anything different? Weirdly, the ultimate probiotic, is a healthy persons poop O_O... glad time (and someone else's hard work) has vindicated my 20th century hypothesis.
