Ugh, I Hate Being Sick . . .
Okay, so normally I'm pretty good about not getting sick; I live around two kids who go to public school I was my hands regularly and try not to get to close when THEY get sick.
But, with my Crohn's, avoiding it is just a stop-gap measure and when that fails . . . Well then I'm absolutely miserable--I take Immunosuppressants so my immune system is shit. Adding to that, My period normally screws with my gut, which is where the Crohn's effects the most, so my normal mostly pain free day is filled with horrid cramping and pain--it's not fun.
Somehow, this time, my body decided to get my period and catch the flu all at once. My already compromised digestive system has been been hit with two other painful factors that are hard to deal with on a normal basis by themselves and now the only times I feel relatively normal are when I'm sleeping, which doesn't come easily to me either on a regular basis, or when I'm curled in a ball (i.e.: Fetal position). As you can imagine this is currently making life rather difficult to deal with.
Not to mention since my body currently isn't digesting things right, I'm even more anemic than normal and am easily out of breath and exhausted and ever time I stand up I get horribly dizzy and have little black spots in front of my eyes.
So, to summarize, I hate the flu, being female, and Crohn's (and being Anemic which is caused by the Crohn's).
Some one put me out of my misery? Please?
(Btw, if you don't know what Crohn's is feel free to ask me, I don't mind explaining it, I just hate living with it . . .Or feel free to look it up, whatever you feel will give ya the most answers.)
