TT Feeling Sickly Thread

“Bear is no longer a teen.
The older you are, the longer the body takes to heal itself.”

“Ugh. Sore throat, full body ache, stuffed nose, and somebody's playing some rap music with the bass turned up way too high. Oh, my mistake, that's actually inside my head....”

“I'm feeling a little better now.


Just in case anyone was wondering....”

“Cool.”

“And how are you feeling today? Better, I hope.

“Better still today, yes. At least nowslimmer cares....”

“Probably due to grief over the fact that your son at that wierd stuff at a FOOTBALL game...LOL...Seriously take care...”

“Of course we care, Bowlder! Did you get to stay home from school?”

“Yes, but now I have to catch up....”

“I'm sorry Bowlder. I'm being horribly selfish these days. I just woke up after sleeping for 14hours. Fatigue seems to be my biggest symptom. I may make it until 5 before I pass out for a few hours. My throat has been sore for @2 weeks, I gargle with salt water 2-3x/day and take a spray every 2hours that I'm awake. My fever still comes and goes and I take ibuprofen as often as allowed.

We have to move Oct 1st but I can't lift heavy objects, spleen/liver ruptures are a concern. Not that I have any energy too lift anything.

But in the end I would kill just to be able to swallow without pain.

I'm glad your feeling better.




:p”

“and i can't frikken keep hydrated. I wish they'd allow me to IV myself at home.”

“WTF I was feeling fine all morning.
I was feeling fine when I took my morning walk.
I was even feeling fine when I went grocery shopping.
Then it hit.....

I just spent 20 minutes puking uncontrollably....
My tummy hurts bad :(
I don't like this one bit.”

“Food poisoning?”

“ughh i'm under too. just a fever aches and chills. I'm pretending like i'm morphing into a new form and this is just a side effect. Or...maybe i'm halucinating. Do I even know you people?”

“john who are you talking to?
noone is here really!

fell better”

“I think it may be food poison...my hubby called from work with the same thing :( We both ate the same breakfest today :(”

“If you quit letting the cat lick out of the bowl before you use it, you probably won't get sick.

;-)”

“hahahaha very funny :)”

“I now have an itchy throat and a hacking cough that's slowly building in intensity, plus a slight (so far) fever. Not good. Time to pop more vitamins, or at least get more
Bolthouse farms C-boost smoothie. Good stuff.”

“Migraine here. Probably due to the impending weather change.... :(

Can't call off of work either. Stoopid people. I have to be on my death bed before they give me a day off at the beginning of the month.

I wonder if anyone would say anything if I turned the lights off? (I work in an office of only 100 people... they won't notice.)”

“I now itch from the back of my throat all the way down in to my lungs. Whatever it is, It's really going to suck. I'm off to the grocery for C-boost and something with oodles of zinc.”

“this daily nausia thing is getting old fast!”

“You've had your ears checked, right? Having an air bubble in your middle ear can trigger that like mad.”

“no, havent had them checked. Im waiting to see if thsi will blow over. If it lasts a couple more days I'm going to the doc.”

“I had a nasty series of ear infections when I moved to FLorida (wisdom teeth, and Florida environment) and they kept causing severe nausea and dizziness, plus occasionally making my eardrums flutter/ spasm, which sometimes felt like they'd knock me over.”

“tb, I'm thinking my head cold has something to do with it, but the nausia just seemed worse today then yesterday. ah well, it will pass, im sure.”

“Is SC preggers AGAIN???????? ;-)

Sorry you are still feeling bad, sweetheart.”

“I was going to feel sorry for myself but you are worse off SC so I will feel sorry for you instead”

“mary go ahead, whats wrong with ya?

I dont feel bad except for the bouts of nausia so if I dont eat anything again all day I will be ok.”

“Feel better SC and Maryphyl!”

“I've got the beginnings of an itchy, bumpy, swollen hands and feet allergic reaction. Just took some benedryl for it, so I'll be asleep soon.

I had a terrible reaction this summer to an antibiotic that was very similar. I have no idea what's triggered this one.

I am scheduled for a sub job tomorrow. What happens when the sub calls in sick????”

“Hey SC, if you have a head cold the nausea could be drainage of mucus to your stomach.”

“Call the subsub? Hope you feel better!

WHINE: I've been trying to move beyond dayhiking and get into backpacking...BUT...after I saved up & bought a nice pack & better boots, a series of unfortunate events unfolds...
Last fall: whacked knee, resulting in months of bursitis.
winter: severe plantar fascitis (could barely walk for a couple of months)
summer: forget it, too hot, no money to travel to hike somewhere cool
autumn: beautiful! but busy.
winter: influenza, bronchitis (asthma makes the flu last 2 months for me)

WHINE! Somebody pass the cheese, please.

Reading about all these fun trips is killing me. I'm hoping to head out for a few days after Christmas. If you come to south Texas to get a break from the cold and pass a woman hacking and wheezing as she creeps up a hill, that'll be me.

“Having an air bubble in your middle ear can trigger that like mad

having a giant air bubble BETWEEN your ears doesnt help either

:-P”

“"winter: severe plantar fascitis (could barely walk for a couple of months)"

What is this Bess??? My feet have been sore every morning for months now... just getting ready to schedule an appt. this week.”

“my nipples are sore and my erection wont go away

what does that mean?”

Oops, I misspelled it:
Plantar Fasciitis
http://www.webmd.com/hw/foot_problems/hw114460.asp

It was miserable - I have high arches & they started falling b/c my shoes & boots weren't supportive enough. Thankfully some hard arch support shoe inserts solved the problem.

I hope you find a good solution for you, graska.

“crashbang, you've been taking to much Levitra. Don't you listen to the side effects in the commercials before you take stuff you see advertised on TV?”

“Thanks tons Bess. Did you go to a regular Dr. or a podiatrist?”

“Well, I'm home from work with a rash. WHen I woke up this morning, I didn't have any rash, but it came back in full force after I got out of the shower!

Dr. office opens in 5 minutes....I'll be putting a call into him.

Until then, I'll be struggling not to scratch...”

“yw :)
I just went to my regular doc. He told me to rest, ice my feet, and wear good supportive shoes. I just ended up buying hard plastic insoles at Target.

If you think you might have plantar fasciitis, I found this site that has a lot of info: http://heelspurs.com/index.html

Good luck!

Smiley, are you allergic to soap?”

“Bess, thanks again, I ordered some of their insoles on that site... the WebMD upset me though when I read.... "Plantar fasciitis is common among middle-aged adults." ; ) I KNOW they're not talking about me!!”

“Bess, I'm not allergic to anything like that, as far as I know. We haven't changed soaps, lotions, detergents, etc. I am racking my brain over this.

I did start using my "winter" moisturizer last week, but I've used it before without any problems. I'm wondering if that's it. Its Neutrogena stuff, so it shouldn't cause any allergies, I don't think.

I slept most of the day, and as soon as 4 hours goes by, the hives start to come back. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to work tomorow.”

“Yikes SG, hope it goes away soon! did you eat anything unusual?”

“The only other thing that was different was that I used the laminator at school yesterday. I ate leftovers for lunch with my usual diet coke.

I had two huge welts on my feet this morning. One was on the bottom of my foot, and I could feel the lump as I was walking.”

“No more hives. Yea!

My aunt is a nurse, and told me to take a zantac with the benedryl. I don't know why it works, but it seems to have helped me get over the allergic reaction quicker. They gave me one in the hospital too last time I had a reaction like this.”

“SG, is your water softened and are there any additional chemicals in the salt used? One of those might do it. Also ,you can suddenly develop an allergy to something you've used or eaten for years. Case in point, HPM is suddenly allergic to pistachios (unless they're cooked into something else), and his dad can't have shellfish or anything derived from them anymore.”

“I have yet another cold. I went through about a 6-year period when I was catching a cold every 6 weeks or so. Docs couldn't figure out why - I do everything "right", like eat healthy, get plenty of sleep, exercise, wash hands frequently, etc. So my doc at the time suggested I take a Claritin every day, guessing that maybe my mild allergies were just enough to weaken my immune system so I caught every bug instead of fighting most of them off like most people.

Whether it was the Claritin or not, over the next 205 weeks (according to my records!), I caught only 7 colds, or an average of less than 2 per year, one every 29 weeks. But starting in March, I have caught 5 colds, 3 in the past 16 weeks. Arrrgh!!! I am sick of being sick!”

“Obviously, the last thing to blame is your job. You should quit it immediatly. :)




I'm sick of having hives. They were back in full force about dinnertime last night. Today is Day 9....they're better, but what gives???”

“Re: my job, I do intend to make an announcement when everybody gets back in after the first of the year to keep their frickin' germs at home if they get sick.”
