Sick ...

leatha_g · January 18, 2005

:cry :cry OMG I am SOOO So sick!! Sunday night, I suddenly started to lose my voice and got a fever out of nowhere and now my head is stopped up, my ears are stopped up, my nose is stopped up, my bones hurt, I had 102.6 fever last night, my throat feels like raw meat. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh....

I did go to the doc today and asked her to give me an injection, which she did, so maybe it'll help. We'll see.

I guess it was just my turn. I haven't had even a cold for at least 2 years now.

Just wanted to let someone in on my misery... lol.

I'm so sorry you're sick Leatha! I've had the nasty bug for over 2 weeks. On antibiotics now, but it even affected my knees....feeling like I had an infection on top of the knee caps making it painful to move. You take care lady!

Awww.. Sorry Leatha you are feeling so miserable. I hope that shot does the trick and you are feeling better soon!

Oh, Leatha, that sounds like what Betty had a few weeks ago! No fun! Please take care of yourself! Do you have any hot teas? Add some honey and lemon, that's soothing to a sore throat. Hopefully, you won't have the nausea part. (((Hugs))) Sis!

Leatha - You sound like you have the flu, it sounds just like what I had. The doctor did a test on me, and it showed full blown flu. I ran 103 fever with mine and caughed, raw throat, chest hurt, nose ran and I thought I would freeze to death. He gave me some caugh Syrup (it worked good) and some meds to take that are made for the flu. You need to get a lot of rest, and drink lots of fluids. He told me to expect it to last 5-7 days, and it did last 7 days. It took a good week after to get back all my energy.

Hugs to you! I know you feel really lousy!

Yup. I think that's what it is. The doc just put Upper Respiratory Infection on my diagnosis, but this isn't your run of the mill URI. lol. This morning, just getting out of bed and trying to sit in my desk chair I became so faint I nearly passed smooth out and had lay right back down. No nausea thus far, thank goodness, but I am one sick puppy..

Leatha I am so sorry. We have all had the crud. I still dont have much energy. One nice thing I have is a daughter who is a Doctor. I use her too much to call prescriptions in for us. I hope you feel much better really soon. Rest and take care of your self. I have found that Soup with chicken stock really helps...Janie :straight

Leatha - I only got sick to my stomach once, he told me to drink orange juice and it make me sick. It came right back up. Other than that, I was like you had to stay in bed, I was dizzy and weak. It hit me all of a sudden too.

(((leatha)))

Maybe that trip last week drained you - made you more venerable for this crud. ???

I sure hope that "bug" does not decide to crawl THIS way!

leatha_g · January 18, 2005

Actually, one of my co-workers had it and found it acceptable to pass it around. lol.

Thanks everyone. I stopped by Boston Market on my way home from the docs and got me some of their Tortilla Soup. I'll get over it, I just hate to be so miserable.
