Still sick.

Was feeling much better Friday - Sunday, but this morning, woke up with a killer headache, which did not go away until ~3:30, despite taking painkillers. >.Went to see GP, got medical certificate for work, also got prescription for antibiotics, as Doc thinks it might be a secondary infection. Time will tell

Good lords, boy. I wish they'd give you paid sick leave :/
I hope your birthday was at least quiet and comfy?
As for headaches, I have suffered through migraines that would make most people completely nonfunctional, and mostly when I was still at work (good times... really...) I have found, for myself at least, that a good dosing of painmeds, a dark room, minimal noise, and a damp cloth over my eyes seems to do wonders. Usually.

Well, currently I'm a casual, so no work, no pay.

Ironically, I'm due to have signed a new contract to change to part time instead last week, but even then, I wouldn't have had any sick leave accrued, so ti would have been unpaid regardless.

The headaches seem to be mostly light sensitivity, and they can often get bad at work, but I find a combo of dark glasses and/or wearing my hat helps immensely by keeping the overhead lighting out of my field of vision. As for the minimal noise, I work tech support, so that's not going to happen, unfortunately.

Birthday was fine, if a little dull. *shrug*

I feel your pain.... I did get sick after all, and have been off for 8 days now... :P I'm supposed to be going back tomorrow. I didn't go to the Doctor, but just did the bedrest and lots of liquids thing. I'm also not getting paid, sometimes being a casual sucks. :P

Hope you get all the way better soon. ^__^
