Ugh, I feel like so much crap today!
So this passed Tuesday, I wasn’t feeling too well. But it wasn’t anything serious. My throat was feeling a bit warm and I felt really weak and hungry, but I thought it was just the birth control I got back on (I have periods one day a month and that really bother’s Martin so he had me back on birth control in hopes to regulate the period, which didn’t work, but I decided to try it again anyway). We got to Cardio Kickboxing class and the warm up wasn’t so bad, it was just during the target practice where I felt really weak. Like my right hand was going to snap off every time I did a cross. Mr said I was being lazy, so I guess it showed, but really, I just felt really weak. My night wasn’t unusual, the birth control was making me nauseous so I went to bed, I felt okay when I went to bed…
Wednesday comes along, I woke up at like 5AM-ish with a fever, super achy and my throat felt swollen. It was hard and painful to swallow.
I stayed home on Wednesday and spent the day sleeping. I was miserable! I couldn’t stand sitting at the computer for more than 5 minutes at a time and I had an on and off fever. I hated how Martin couldn’t be there to take care of me because of my stupid OCD. When I’m sick, I usually just lock myself in my room and deal with it myself. OCD can really complicate things :(. Since I had on and off fevers, I decided to set an appointment for Thursday.
So Thursday I went to pick up Martin and headed to the hospital early since my appointment was at 10AM, I haven’t been up that early in long while. Which is sad, because 10AM isn’t really early. The doctor checked me out and said she didn’t see any puss pockets (which sounds gross, they couldn’t had called it something else? Something with a large name that makes you ask “what does that mean?” lol) so she did a swab test with me laying down, horrible. Then she printed out some papers saying I should gargle warm salt water, drink lots of fluids, eat soup, etc. and drop off the swab at the lab. So we did and we stopped by Safeway on the way home to get more soup, some salad mix, grabbed some chips for Martin and I got some ice cream. Yes, ice cream. I heard somewhere that eating ice cream when you have a sore throat is just as good as drinking something hot. And even if that’s wrong, the ice cream did make my throat feel better. MUCH better.
I spent the rest of Wednesday eating soup, drinking apple juice, napping on Martin and watching movies with him. I felt a little better, but not too much. I talked Martin into letting me take NyQuil before he left. NyQuil usually takes an hour to knock me out. A little after midnight, I was drowsy. I love being drowsy. Which is why Martin always puts up a fight when I want NyQuil, I’m easily addicted to medication and NyQuil is something he would rather me not take unless I absolutely needed it. I’ve been addicted to NyQuil before, because, as I said earlier… I love being drowsy and because I’m an insomniac. I have an extremely hard time sleeping.
I woke up this morning feeling worse than I did last night. And with a headache! Oh goodness how I hate waking up with headaches! Horrible! The good news is though, that it’s not Strep Throat. She said my sore throat may be caused by allergies but she didn’t see any when she checked my nose yesterday so it must be a virus that I just have to wait out. I took some Tylenol a few hours ago and took a nap, my headache is gone, thank goodness. But my throat is still bothering me. But I feel much much better today! Thank goodness!
I’m sick of being sick! It seems ever since Spring hit I’ve been getting sick every other week, literally. It’s so tiring. I take my Finding Nemo gummy vitamins, I don’t see why I keep getting sick :(. Hehe. Maybe Martin is right, maybe I should switch to something more adult (and boring) like One A Day. Once I kick whatever this is, I’m going to start taking more vitamins. I need to start taking Fish Oil, I had intended to a few years ago (I heard it helps with memory) but I also heard it tasted gross. Does that still apply to the gel tablets? Neka Zang (she plays the witch’s mother in the SF Wicked production, I’m a fan of hers and she’s such a sweet person!) insisted that they don’t taste like anything. So I’m gonna give it a try once I get better! I’ve been better at drinking more water, I’ve gone a few days last week without soda, I seriously do notice the difference! It’s amazing.
Sorry, I’m rambling :).
I’m following you – Happy Friday!

Aww i hope you have a speedy recovery, being sick just plain sucks! It is true about the one a day vitamins. I used to get sick all the time but when i started taking those i stopped getting sick, i had more energy, and i just felt better all around. Soda can also make you feel like crap, or at least it does to me. Definitely try to limit your soda intake it’s just no good for you. Oh and a glass of orange juice a day will help keep sickness away. Feel better soon babe *hugs*
Thank you!
My husband has been bugging me over and over to start taking One A Day’s. I always intend to, but never do! I think it’s time I take his advice! I usually get sick extremely often but after I stopped getting the flu shot, I stopped getting sick lol.
I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy level when I stopped drinking so much soda. I’ve been switching to water and lemonade lately and I have SO much more energy! It’s amazing! I’m trying to cut down on soda (and if I do drink soda, I’m starting to drink the clear ones instead of Pepsi’s and etc), I know in the long run it’ll be better for me!
I’m feeling much better today, thank goodness, but I just wish it would completely go away already! So many pretty days I can’t enjoy :(!
