My God! These chills are BRUTAL tonight!!!

[paperbagqueen]

I mean, teeth chattering, bone knocking, muscle cramping, headache inducing chills!  The headache (I’m pretty sure) comes from clenching my jaw so tight to keep my teeth from chattering.  And the muscle cramping is coming from my tensing the muscles up so tightly to 1) stop the…..rather violent shaking  and 2) help generate some body warmth.

Try a hot/warm bath when the chills start?

I did that last night and today when the chills set in, and let me tell you, a hot bath is a god send for this situation! I was even to work a hot bath in this afternoon, once lunch was finished and I got the three youngest munchkins ( 2.5yrs, 18mths, 9mths) down for a nap & my 4yr old otherwise occupied. Considering I have that age range to look after all day, every day, I'm thankful that I was able to get that bath in, even if it was only ten minutes. lol

It's pretty brutal. Thankfully, I'm feeling a lot better today. Now it's just the same crushing rib pain that I'm used to day in and day out. *hugs*
