Update

[shipperx]

Well, this morning I felt a bit like death warmed over and was running a temp of 100.6. Took a shower and called my parents so that mom could leave an Egg McMuffin at the door like some breakfast delivering Easter Bunny. I might feel worse, but my stomach is actually better and it was the first time in two days I was actually hungry. Slept a few more hours and, currently and crossing fingers -- I feel human again for the time being. At least I do as long as I stay relatively still in my recliner. Hopefully, I'm through the worst of it. ... I hope.

ETA: Ugh. Temp, which had been down, is now back up to 100.4
ETAII: Temp spike of 101.6 Finally broke down and called sis (an M.D.) and she confirmed my suspicions. I have the flu and there's nothing to do but treat the symptoms. Temp back down in the 100.4 range and feeling slightly better again, but it seems to go in cycles. Sigh.

Glad you're feeling a bit better!

Get well soon.

Hang in there. Lots of fluids. A heating pad for muscle aches and stay home until your fever breaks, and then stay home another 24 hrs. And if it is most comfortable to hang out in the recliner, then sleep there.

And to make you laugh, arf fucking arf!

Eek. Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself!

I hope you will feel better soon!

Unfortunately, it never lasts. It's some sort of sadistic cycle of faking you out that you're getting better then making you just as sick all over again.

So ready to really get better. :(

Thanks.

Ugh indeed.

For whatever reason being able to change poisitions in the Ekornes recliner is more comfortable than trying to stay in bed. I tried last night to stay in bed but at 4am I swapped to the study and the recliner. My hair freaking hurts!

And dont make me laugh! It causes me to cough.

Arf. :)

I had gone an entire year without soft drinks but have gone through 6 sprites in two days!

And I'm ready to feel better, if only this virus would agree rather than periodically faking me out with a couple of hours of relief then another tempurature and ache spike. :(

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I'm ready for this to be over. :(

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

More water, less soda :D You don't need the sodium!

*hugs* You'll feel better in a few days.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the soda settles my stomach. The water (which is what I drink most of the time) just seems to sit in my stomach like lead and boils.

Although at this point, I'm on apple juice. And I don't have a fever at the moment, so ::fingers crossed::

I've also managed to take a shower and, since the temp is nice, opened several windows to air out the house.
