Ladies, Ive been so sick...so miserable...my posts are short and I can barely keep my eyes open so thats why Ive been a bit out of it lately.
Yesterday, I actually had to go to the ER because my temperature sky rocketed and I freaked out. I was delirious all night and kept mumbling things...it was bad.
I am now taking Amoxicillin and Ibuprofen periodically throughout the day...its horrible. Ive never been this sick Aisha...never. Well, I had strep throat when I was 14 but thats about it. Next year, Im getting flu shots so this doesnt happen again, ever!
Pray that I get better...Im so tired of being sick this year...this is my 3rd or 4th flu of the season...now its a full blown infection...feel horrible.
I'm soooooooo sorry, Reha. I remember you posting that you haven't been well in recent days. But I had no idea what was causing you to be sick. I don't get sick very often, but when I do, I get hit soooo HARD. And the flu is one of those things where if u haven't had one in years....when you do get hit, it's pretty bad. I remember when I had the flu about 4 years ago.........I coulden't even walk, Reha. That's how sick I was. I could barely move to pick up the phone and call in sick for work. With every step, I felt so weak and nauseaus. And to make matters worse, I was so stressed out and was having these nervous heart palpitations that I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. When I finally got the strength to let my boss at work know I couldn't make it, she rudely hung up on me without wishing me well....and even accused me of lying about being sick so I wouldn't have to come to work. Reha.........I'm one of those people that is RARELY absent from work. I'm always there cuz I hate being absent, even as a student I hated being absent. And her rudeness over the phone brought on an anxiety attack which made me feel even worse.
And then about 2 years ago, I got hit with the flu about twice during the year. The first time brought me to tears because I had a fever and I couldn't even swallow my own spit because it felt as if needles were stuck in my throat causing me to stay awake all night. It was actually bronchitis and I got it during winter break. Man, I was so miserable. My doctor had prescribed Amoxicillin and it made the palms of my hand and soles of me feet extremely itchy. I'm allergic to it so I can't have it any more.
I sympathize with you and sincerely hope that you get better soon, Aameen:) It could also be that you're stressed out with wedding preparations. And stress makes us more succeptible to viruses. My cousin is a doctor and she recommends taking a multivitamin with antibiotics because antibiotics are very strong and use up a lot of your body's energy and can make you weak. So take a multivitamin. Also, keep yourself well-hydrated. Stay away from dairy products because dairy thickens the production of mucous/phlegm and delays healing. Hope you get well soon! GS isn't the same without u:)
