Taz's diary - Need to do this!

[Taz]

Thanks guys, I went to the docs this morning and she said I have a crackle on the left side and I have a chest infection. I now have antibiotics to take for 7 days which will hopefully resolve it. She said if they are going to zap it I will know in 48 hours so I am off work til Monday

That'll give you some time to rest Taz and hopefully you can shake it off. Sorry didn't get time to text today - too manic in school! I'm home tomorrow so will catch up properly x

 

[Taz]

Morning all, had a very early night last night and woke up coughing too early this morning so now I am up and got porridge ready to go for breakfast. Have a few things to do today but I will be mostly resting!

Morning Taz.

 

[Gemstone]

Morning Taz - I hope you are feeling a bit better this morning x

 

[Taz]

Not much Gem, hoping the antibiotics will kick in tomorrow

 

[Gemstone]

Make sure you get some bio yogurt to stop the anti-biotics destroying the protective "bugs" in the gut x

 

[Taz]

Well I thought about that Gem but you aren't supposed to have dairy with a cold

 

[Jim]

That's a myth Taz, I used to believe that but it's not true love. I'll see if I can find where I read it.

Myth #6: "Avoid dairy products when you have a cold."

This is such a common myth that a number of scientific studies have been done to test this. The myth is that dairy products have been thought to promote mucus production, and thus should be avoided with colds and other upper respiratory problems, including asthma.

There is no consistent effect of dairy products on mucus production. It cannot be demonstrated that this is a problem. If you feel that you are affected, then don't do it, but don't avoid needlessly. It is possible to have this sensation, since milk can have a filmy residue in the mouth after drinking, but this has nothing to do with mucus.

Answer? Myth!

and here is where it's from

[Gemstone]

Good morning Taz - how are you this morning?

 

[Taz]

Morning Gem, I still have the cough but it's not as bad as it was. Back to work today and on lates

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz.

 

[Gemstone]

I hope today went well x

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz, how are you today and how did it go?

 

[Taz]

Morning all, I seem to have a worse cough again now but that might have something to do with the only train I worked yesterday was smoking badly and wasn't very nice. I am on lates this week but i am getting side effects from the antibiotics in the form of a very bad belly at 6pm for the last 2 days so I am going to have to ask today if they can swap me for an earlier shift tomorrow
