Blech ... sick

[avocado_wish]

Earlier this week I just thought I was a little more tired than usual. But now I have a full-blown case of ... something. Flu? Something worse? I'm not sure. Symptoms include persistent headache, sore back and neck, swollen glands, fever and chills, hives (Wednesday night), nausea, etc. I slept about 14 hours yesterday

Hope you feel better soon! Marian and I have both been dealing with something sinus-related, although it hasn't knocked either of us out completely (it came close yesterday, with the awful weather!) Drink your liquids and try to keep the temperature down. (I know, mom advice.) Rest.

Thanks! "Mom advice" is usually best in these cases. I'm a little hesitant to call my mom, though, as it might trigger a hotdish brigade.

I just want to be well before CONvergence. Oh, and BTW, I love your icon!

I always associate fever with the flu. Try to take things easy, and if you don't seem to be getting better please consider calling your doctor. *hugs*

Thank you. I'm watching this one, since I don't usually get feverish. Also, the hives and swollen glands were weird. Times like these, I wish I had better insurance, though.

The actual flu really sucks, and it sounds like you have caught it. *hugs*, seestur

*hugs back*

I've been pretty lucky the past few years, and have managed to stay well during all the vast epidemics that knocked out my co-workers. I guess it's just my time now. Needless to say, I won't be heading up to Scandia tomorrow.

If you start to really feel bad again, do go in to the doctor, and we'll all figure it out.
