Being Sick

[kezzer]

I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired!!!! For the whole month of October I was plagued with bronchitus which had triggered asthma in me making it twice as bad. And now just as I am starting to feel better I wake up with a sore throat and feel miserable! Am I just doomed to be constantly sick this year???

[blinc]

You Rant Kezzer!! {fire} Being sick for extended periods of time does rotten things to you emotionally as well as physically! It stinks!

*rant*
*rant*
*rant*

[kezzer]

Yeah that's for sure!! I just want to {smash} somethinG! I have actually been so stressed lately that my hands almost constantly shake as if I had too much caffeine. Every little thing the kids or hubby does wrong irritates me. I'm so drained. Physically and emotionally. I have nothing left. I couldn't even make any attempt to start unpacking the piles of boxes cluttering my new apartment. I didn't even send my daughter to school today because I didn't have the ambition to help her get dressed and then have to go out and put her on the bus. RAnt rant rant !!!!! {frusty}{blah}

Aww Kezzer my pal!
I made you some {chicken} soup in one of the other threads!
did you get it?
I'll bet someone else ate it....well, here...{chef} have some more!
hope ya feel better

Have you been getting enough sleep lately? I sure haven't, and that is when I start to get sick. It seems like I've been sick more this year than I have in the past five. I'm just hoping I can make it to January 1 without getting sick again. I fear the flu.

I wish thinking happy thoughts would help because right now I am thinking about the beach. {palmtree}{palmtree}{palmtree}

Kezzer -- I had laryngitis for a month about two years ago. Now every time I lose my voice I stop talking instantly and in a day I'm better. Maybe you need to take some time to rest too. Could someone else get dd off to school and maybe she could go over there in the afternoon too? I wish she went to ds's school because he really does better if he has a playmate. Take care of yourself. Christie

hubby just came back from the doctor and he has Bronchitis...yukko!
He'll be milking this one...he always wants me to cuddle him and wait on him, when he is sick. He drives me crazy! God love him.....and God Bless you Kezzer.....I hope you get better real fast.

[kezzer]

Thanks everyone. My sore throat is still going strong. I keep sneezing too. Either I'm getting a cold or that strep that's going around! I think I'm going to call in to work tomoorow so I can rest. I believe my lack of sleep is part of the reason I'm now in this mess. I've been trying to do so much lately that there's just been no time for sleep. I've been lucky if I've gotten 4 hours a night. But I usually don't get that much. I really need a vacation to finish up all this moving stuff but I took them all in the summer. :( Oh well, I'll make it throught this,(I hope!!!)
Karen, I hope your hubby gets well soon, It realllllllly stinks to have bronchitus.

[kezzer]

UGh! I feel so awful right now! My head hurts, I can't breath through my nose. But I guess it's better than hardly being able to breath at all! My eyes, nose and throat hurt. I should be in bed but I feel so icky I don't even have the energy to turn off the computer and move!

[jamesglewisf]

What is your time zone? Shouldn't you be in bed sleeping? {sleeping} Shame. Shame. Shame.

[kezzer]

I'm in Eastern time. It is now 1:57 am. I should be in bed sleeping but I can't sleep now.{bawling} In a few minutes I really will be crying like this guy. I am soo tired.

[Karenluvs6]

Gee Kezzer, you really do need to rest! You're wiping yourself out doing all this work.
You can always finish unpacking tomorrow...it is the weekend ya know. Your stuff will still be there..no need to rush!

Get some rest and get better!

[kezzer]

Well I finally got some sleep. I decided to get up for a few and make some tea. I'll be going back to bed soon, I'm soo sleepy. I've definitly got a cold now .]:{ My daughter has my sore throat now too. The only good thing about that is I can make her rest today and I can get some rest, I just have to worry about keeping my son occupied!!! Hmmm, not that I want him to be sick but if he did get sick today, we could get this cold over and done with sooner and I could definitly get rest. oh well.

It sounds like you are in a cycle of illness. Where one persons gets sick and about the time they start getting well another gets sick and so on and so on.

That happened to us one year. One of us got strep throat, then would get well, then another got it, then got well. We kept passing it around and come to find out it was our oldest daughter that was the carrier and she wasn't even sick. It's hard to get out of the cycle. We had to just use one glass, wash our hands all the time, Lysol everything, wash our bedding in hot water etc.

Sure hope ya'll can take this weekend and kinda recoup. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

EEk!!! I'm starting to wheeze again! That is so not good. Last month I had to go to the clinic 3 times for breathing treatments and was put on prednisone(a form of steroids) twice. I really don't want to spend the whole month of November sick too:( Well looks like I'll be calling in sick tomorrow too.

Since our baby was 11 weeks premature, we had to be very careful about trying not to get sick. We did a lot of handwashing.

When one of us was sick, we didn't kiss, share phones, remote controls, etc. Somehow, we managed not to get sick at the same time. It was important because we couldn't visit the baby at the hospital if we were sick. Things didn't change much until she was 17 months old. The doctors wanted us to be very careful that she didn't get sick.

If you are passing illness back and forth, you may need to be more careful about germs.

Last month it was just me with bronchitus started from allergies and asthma. This time it's a cold but because I'm still not completly well from last month I think it's going to take me for a ride. The kids should be fine after a few days, Hubby shows no signs of sickness and he probably won't. He's the lucky one, last year was the first year he was sick in about 5. I wish I could be so lucky!! I'm off to bed soon. I definitly need some more rest.

[kezzer]

ARgh!! I feel so horrible! My eyes are burning, my chest hurts and there isn't much I can take now. :( I hope that I don't get bronchitus, All the medicine I was on with it has possible risks with pregancy, I'm not sure the risks, the web site I looked them up on didn't specify, but any risk is big enough for me to worry. Just as I get my fever down a bit it goes right back up, I'm so achy and just plain miserable, and I can't sleep. {bawling}

Let's hope and pray you don't get the twelve hour bug that is going around, it sucks, it completely wipes you out for half a day and than like a snap of your fingers your fine. We all had I hope it is finally out of here. All the daycare kids had it also. I spent today disinfecting my house, but yesterday I felt like I was dying.

Hope you feel better.

It tastes nasty but it works! It'll help you sleep too :) Do get well soon!
