    So I dragged my sorry ass to the doctor's this morning, being feverish and perspiring all night I had no idea how cold it was outside so I dashed out with just a thin short-sleeved top and capris. After a few minutes of walking I started shivering. Oh well, I didn't want to be late plus I'll be hopping on a bus so not a big deal. Got my prescription for Penicillin and rushed back home, thinking I'll rest a bit, eat something, put on a jacket and go to the pharmacy.

    Guess what, I fell asleep. Which is good, I had a nice long 5 hour nap (first uninterrupted one over the past few days) followed by two short ones. But then when i got up it was past 7pm, and the pharmacy here closes at 7. Dammit. Now having some dinner so I'll have some energy to head out to city center (those pharmacies open till later, thanks Minna for checking!). Wish me luck, hope I make it back in one piece.

    Get some more rest, add fluids, and see the doc in the AM.

    Hope you find a pharmacy that's open Carol!

    As soon as I feel like I'm coming down with something, I force feed myself bucket-loads of water, until I'm peeing like a race-horse, trying to flush out the bug.

    I have absolutely no medical qualifications, but it usually helps me to feel better a bit quicker. It might just be a mental thing though.

    Get well soon!

    Bunny, take a taxi and ask it to wait! It costs a bit, but you save lot of time and driver looks after you!

    @matiasm: Keskustorin Apteekki closes already at 22 (yes, it has changed). Yliopiston Apteekki is open from 7 to 24.

    Thanks, i got to Keskustorin apteekki at 21:45 and was out of there at 21:50 and onto the next bus home. Round trip time around 1 hour, not too bad. It's open 8-22. I thought the one in Hervanta was open longer, but only 8:30-19.
