SICK! - Page 11

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!

I spent the night in the hospital's sleep lab/clinic last night. According to the tech I don't get enough REM sleep, noises wake me up, and it takes me forever to fall asleep, and get back to sleep if I wake up.

Hello white noise machine and Ambien?

woke up today with a sore throat and major head/chest congestion...hopefully I can get to the doctor today or tomorrow, because I don't have time to be sick...24 days until graduation

And now I'm running a fever. The lack of any other symptoms except for my RIDICULOUSLY sore throat means its probably strep. Too bad the campus health center is only good for free Mucinex. Looks like I'll be going to urgent care when I go home on Friday.

I'm taking Ambien CR tonight. I haven't been this excited about sleeping, ever.

I hate day care, or any area where children converge! I take my son to mothers day out so I can have some time to myslef to get things done or whatever and he gets sick, brings it to me and both of us are stuck at home feeling like crap! So now I have to take care of a sick baby, who doesn't realize he's sick and still wants to play... And try to get my own shit together while hopped up on dayquil and/or tylenol cold:nightime....

I think I have a freaking fever too! UGH!!

BUMP...for being home with strep!

HALF of my throat is noticeably swollen - it's bigger than my thyroid, and hurts.

Honeykiss1974 · #**160** 04-17-2009, 04:00 PM

OMG my strep is on the way out but I think I'm getting an ear infection. My ear is aching... OMG, now I know why babies fuss and cry....I want to fuss and cry!!!!!!!!!!!!

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'm sick, but it's not swine flu!! Haha! My voice sounded kind of funny on Sunday but I had been cheering a ton for powderpuff. Now my throat hurts. My eyeballs and lymph nodes hurt. I have formal tomorrow and Norway Day the day after, so I really don't wanna be sick right now!

I would swear I had mono, but I don't have any of the other symptoms. I have been so tired that I sleep for ten hours every night and still need a nap. This has been going for a week and my head ache has been coming and going for two weeks. I don't have time to be sick any more.

I hate the fluxuating weather. I've been so sick. I need to go take a nap.
