The one thing that you are playing with fire with is drinking while on the medications you are on. Please go see your Doctor(s) and get some help.

Love and hugs,
What I bolded - what you said about who is being affected is just what my shrink told me. I didn't believe him. I do have asthma so that adds to the scariness for me but I am not elderly. I do have the face masks I bought in 2005 before the avian flu scare, so I am set on that.
Yes, I am playing with fire to drink on the meds. It was a lapse of sorts and I know it's not the answer. I will call my regular Dr and see if I can get in to see him for a consultation. Thanks.
