Its Thursday, I started to feel under the weather on Sunday.
I worked Fri-Sun 12-13 hour shifts (I am a dance teacher and cherographer). I was off Monday (Labor Day) and Tuesday and was in bed both days because I wasn't feeling well. I didn't keep myself well hydrated over the weekend and I was thinking I was exausted from working so much/so hard.
I returned to work Wednesday and started to get flu like body aches. My throat hurts and I need to take 1000mg of tylenol every 4 hours because I have a pounding sinus headache. I am off work today, which is Thursday, and I am considering going to the Walk In Clinic where I don't need an appointment. Its $70 a visit and money is tight. I need to feel better I have to work again all weekend, same amount of shifts.
Should I go to the doctor? Does it sound like I am getting the flu? I just feel sick. What do you think they will say or prescribe for me? Is there anything I should ask for? I am allergic to penicillin.
Thank you so much for your help :)
Blessed Be ...

If you've caught up on your rest and hydrated yourself again, I would definitely spend the 70.00 bucks. Your health and well being is worth far more than that!
Hoping you feel better soon.

It sounds like you need to go to the doctor. You work long hours so you need to be feeling better. It is better to go now then go later and have to be off work for a week. I did that once and push myself until I couldn't stand it anymore and then I ended up being off for a week and half and that made money even tighter so I say yes go to the doctor now before it gets any worse. Sounds like symptoms of the flu. Just make sure to tell them that you are allergic to penicillin! Good luck and take care OK.

If you are just getting the flu then there won't be any prescription for that. It's a virus. Now if you have strep throat then you need an antibiotic. Look in your throat and see if you have little white bumps. If you do, then go. Otherwise, try a couple days of rest and plenty of fluids.

It sounds like you definitely need some rest. Going to the doctor and getting drugs so that you can work all weekend isn't going to solve anything.
Call in sick!

if its not getting better, go in to see the doctor. they wont give any antibiotics, unless you have an infection. are you a wiccan? (wear blue -healing-, try some rituals)

When all else fails and you're not sure what to do - go to the doctor. There's no harm in going.
