I am telling you, rest is HUGE in overcoming sickness. Sleep at least 8hrs a night until its gone. Even if that means coming home from work, eating, and hitting the old dusty trail with no time for OSA.

I've had this since last Thursday and it's not showing any signs of letting up. I have a Dr. Appt, but the earliest I could get in was this coming Friday.
Make sure to thank your insurance company and lawmakers for that schedule your doctor has to keep.
What I mean is they've regulated it and legislated it to the point that doctors HAVE to overbook in order to make a good living. So they don't have the ability to leave open enough same-day appointments for people who are newly-sick with acute illnesses. This means they all end up going to the ER and getting crappy care from me. Which I'll admit. ER is crappy care, the doc there doesn't know you, your history, your preferences, your personality and you get the bare minimum necessary to get you patched up and out the door.
I know family doctors who regularly see 40-60 patients per day... on top of seeing patients in the hospital each morning as well.
Can you explain to me how these docs can POSSIBLY provide decent and adequate care to their patients? I don't think they can... period.
If I ever go back to office practice, it'll be cash-only up front with a timer in the room. You've got 15, 30 or 60 minutes of my time, depending on what you've paid for up-front. While I'm there... you have my undivided attention. But don't ask me to deal with your insurance company or paperwork, unless you're making an appointment to come in and do it.
I decided to switch doctors only to have the office help tell me they didn't "allow" patients to move from one doctor to the other inside the practice.
You might as well get out of medicine now, the patient will just find somebody else with less restrictions.
