Self-treatment
So, since Lexi’s been sick recently, I’ve been trying to get the jump on any germs that might be trying to get me. I started taking Vitamin C tablets and drinking a lot of rooibos tea to help bump up my immune system and for a while it was working really well. But, once my dad got sick, it was pretty much only a matter of time. Yesterday I felt a low-grade nausea all day at work and then just got worse (terrible headache, progressive body aches, and throat problems) as the day went on. I let my boss know I might have to call out today so that doing so wouldn’t count against me and then lay down once I was home and fed.
This morning I actually felt a lot better, thankfully, but I thought that the extra eight hours laying down and resting would help me to beat it completely. This, again thankfully, seems to have done the trick as I’m back up to nearly 100 percent again. I’m just hoping tomorrow doesn’t stick me back in the hole. (I don’t know why laying down helps the healing process so much as it does, but as long as it does I also don’t really need the reason.)
