Sick
10
Thu, 02-15-2007 - 12:00pm
I've been sick all week. I went running outside on Monday night while my kid was at soccer practice, and since then I've had a nagging cough, migraines and a raw throat. Yesterday I had a fever that varied from 99.5 to 101.4, while my usual temperature is around 95-96. I"ve been home for two days now, and I"m going stir-crazy. I hate being sick, and I hate going to the doctor. I know eventually I'm going to have to go, but I am so dragging my feet.

A good way to look at it though is I've lost 1/2 a pound since yesterday....

Thank you all for the well wishes. I am indeed feeling better, but I am going to the doctor this morning. My throat is still sore, and my body hurts so bad when I cough. According to WebMD, my symptoms are leading to pneumonia. Ouch. But if that is the case, the hubby is right on the nose. Again. I hate it when he is right. *lol*

Hopefully it won't be as serious as pneumonia...but you're definitely right to get yourself checked out! Best Wishes~

I hate the doctor too, but you should really go. I am just getting over an illness myself. I thought I just had the flu and refused to go to the doctor. I hate sitting in the waiting room with 20 other sick people and I'm not fond of taking medications either. But my husband finally did get me to go. I found out, that for almost a week I actually had a kidney infection. It started out as just achey back pain. But eventually it made me so sick I could hardly move or eat. I disregard alot of aches and pains by thinking that my body is made to heal itself and almost always get better on my own. But I was really wrong in this case.

I'm finally feeling a little better. I still have a nagging cough that gets worse when I have to laugh, so I've been trying to play serious. It's so freakin' hard too! But thank you for all the well wishes. They honestly did help!

Glad to hear you're feeling somewhat better-- those nagging coughs and colds really need to be taken care of!
