Just a note on the hospital experience. I went to the emergency room at Amerimed, a private hospital in downtown Cancun. When we arrived there was one person in the waiting room. I filled out a couple of forms and within two minutes I was talking to the doctor in the consultation room. There was no one else in the ER. I asked the staff if it had been that calm all week and they said no, they had seen their fair share of people who were worried about having swine flu (H1N1 as we are supposed to call it now) but of course they were all psychosomatic or just cases of the plain old flu. It was kind of spooky it was so calm, I expected to see a swarm of people there. When we returned to the waiting room, it was completely empty, that's kind of odd even in normal times. Perhaps the beautiful sunny day had people going to Dr. Beach instead of the hospital.
Empty E.R. Waiting Room in CancunSo I am off to bed. I apologize for a lack of information today, as soon as I'm feeling better (and seeing more clearly), I'll start to dig through the news for anything relevant to the situation in Cancun and Quintana Roo. Thanks for your understanding!

Hope you feel better soon!
Take care of yourself chica. You don't want to be sick for very long. The beach is calling your name. Rest .. Rest .. Rest
So sorry to hear that. Take care of your eyes. We had a conjunctivitis outbreak a few years ago in Honduras. It can be very painful, I've heard. It's also very contagious so be careful about using the same towels as someone else, etc.
I've got the flu! and was just shutting off my computer when I saw your update and wondered if you did, too. Hope you feel better soon.
Take care of yourself Canuck, you need those eyes to watch your Max grow up. I think it is one of the joys of having a school age kid around, you catch every damn thing that exists! Little germs they are, except so cute you don't care.
Take care of yourself. I've had the 'red eye' several times from my old job, the medication works pretty quickly so you should be better soon.
Don't forget to throw out all your eye makeup! I am sorry that you feel yucky, get lots of rest, we depend upon you!
We were at the clinic the other day (non-flu related) and it was pretty empty too. I think people aren't out and about for any reason.

Glad you are safe, I've been a lurker for quite some time.
Ugh, nothing like a little pink eye to make you feel miserable. I don't know if someone ever told you to do this...put a little bit of baby shampoo and some water into a shot glass, then place it over your eye and roll it to clean it out. Just a suggestion...worked for me and my family lol. Hope you feel better soon!
I hope you feel better soon!
Hope you're feeling better by now. Thanks so much for all the info!
Get well soon. Then, go to Dr. Beach yourself, for a final checkup.
Thanks all, I am in desperate need of Dr. Beach! I'm feeling better, though having some very strong reactions to the medicine. I'll be honest, I skipped a dose this morning in order to get some work done, shh, don't tell my mom. The meds make my head spin, body shake and the pounding headache from them is unbearable. I suppose I should dose up now (sigh), no need for the original infection to come back.
I appreciate your comments, thanks!
