This is so swell!

I've started feeling swollen glands or lymph nodes behind my ears in two points on each side. This started two or so days ago. I read a few websites and think that's it a side effect of the MMR vaccine I took 1.5 weeks ago. The incubation period is usually 7-12 days. I told a few people about it including my parents. They told me that if it doesn't go away in one week, I should see a doctor. I agree. If I get more severe symptoms I'll do it earlier.

I know that yesterday I was feeling slight pain on my hands above the last two fingers, on each hand. I think it's related to the MMR too since one of them causes joint pain and aches. I've got pain near my right elbow too for a short while. I found out yesterday that my skip-level manager has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and had to wear something like splints to keep his wrists from moving too much. His both hands had that so I asked what was wrong. It seems there is no cure for CTS so I'd better be careful since I use the computer so much. Maybe he got it from typing reports and email so much over the last 10 years or something. ^^;;

I need to take care of my health. :/ Things like this add up. I should start going to the gym again next week. Also, I'll get to practice parking my larger car in the gym basement garage. ^^;; At least most parking spaces are diagonal so it's easier to slide the car in than a full 90-degree turn. \o/
