SICK! - Page 8

I had to call in, too. Actually, I'm under doctor's orders to rest while recovering from the ridiculous side effects of birth control. (First time taking any pills in 15 years - almost half my life.) Eight days was enough to wreck my systems and require rest and plenty of water. But I'll be back tomorrow at about 75%. Maybe even 80.

I hope everyone else feels better soon.

Apparently I gave my bad head cold to my boss. He's been out all week and his wife said he was down for the count all weekend. I did have two meetings in his small, closed office in the morning before I started feeling sick. Oops. At least he knows I wasn't faking it!

This has to be a sinus infection, not allergies! I have a fever and I'm achey. I feel like crap.

I got food poisoning last night. It was freaking awful. No one else got sick, but I'm positive it was food poisoning.

I have been to the doctor for a third time in a month. BOOOO sinus infections.

Went to the doctor again, we're now thinking that I am having reactions to some new allergies, so they did a quick blood test. It would make sense that my body is reacting this way and my lymph nodes are out of control. I'd much rather take some pills and get allergy shots than keep worrying about cancer.

I also get to go to the hospital for a sleep study because I can sleep 3 hours and feel fine, or sleep 10 hours and feel like hell.

I am not sure if I have food poisoning or a stomach bug!

We had Fiesta Day at school and had a bunch of Mexican food donated for a fundraiser..... the next day 80% of the school was sick.

It two days since then and I am still sick....so I am not sure what I have....

I spoke too soon, maybe? I'm on antibiotics now though as I think it was a sinus infection. My whole face was swollen and painful in spots from the sinus infection. Yesterday was really bad. Today is still bad enough to be home from work. Tomorrow I should be good to go though. I've used a lot of sick days lately

I thought I had food poisoning this week. At 2am this morning I drove myself to ER because the pain, symptoms(no need to be tmi) were very bad. I was wrong. It turns out I have a severe bladder infection. Here's to meds, painkillers, and cranberry juice.

I have been vomiting for the past 30 hours. I was on my way to class yesterday morning and in the lobby of my apartment building, when I got really dizzy all of the sudden. I dashed to the bathroom in the lobby and spent the next 20 minutes with diarrhea and vomiting. Lovely.

I have an exam today and tomorrow and the MCAT on Saturday so this could not have come at a worse time..... I can't keep any food down: how am I supposed to concentrate on Physics?

This was me yesterday! I got sick during my 1st planning period, but the school was out of subs so I could not go home!

I called in sick today, and I am only able to keep some food down with the help of some RX nausea meds, but they make me so drowsy, I won't be able to take them tomorrow at school...ugh..

Have you tried ginger items? Like ginger tea and crystallized ginger? it is one thing that really helps me when I feel like puking, and for some reason COLD applesauce helps too.

I have gotten a migraine every day for the past two weeks, with the exception of three days. Seriously.

I've seen a neurologist, and I'm keeping an extremely detailed diary/log to try to identify the trigger(s). The meds relieve the pain and nausea, but they cause weird side-effects that are starting to really get on my nerves.

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to stand this.

Woke up this morning and my throat is on FIRE. I can hardly swallow, and my lymph nodes are swollen to the point that you can almost tell just by looking. What the heck, I was FINE yesterday!
