I got sick last night and thought I was getting the flu but now I feel better today (besides a little groggy from sleeping too much and a weird taste in my mouth) so maybe a 24 hour bug or stress? It hit really fast. After class I felt a little weird, mostly really dry eyes and like I was starting to get a migraine. I get both of those a lot so didn't think anything of it and figured it was just from sitting in dry/hot classrooms for hours or that maybe I was going to get my cycle the next day. I come home and was gonna take a nap but then my parents were annoying/arguing so I couldn't but I did lay there a while. Anyway, I get up and go to go back to sleep and I can't so stay up. But when I get up, everything hit at once. This was only a couple hours later. I all of a sudden had every symptom. Originally I was hot so had turned the heat off but when I laid back down I was really cold then I was hot again so chills and hot flashes, my hands were shaking really bad, they both got numb/tingly (though I think I have carpal tunnel), just lile every symptom all at once just hours later. My chest was also a bit tight and I was a little anxious cause i hate being sick and was obsessing over symptoms haha but the tingling hands really worried me and my parents were being kind of annoying so anyway, I went into a full blown panic attack (anxiety attack? Not sure the difference). Like hyperventilating and everything. Thankfully, the dog sensed this and came running when he heard me hyperventilating so he was able to calm me down crazy quickly with just me petting him and stuff. But it was kind of scary. The tingling also went away after I calmed down so it was maybe anxiety related?

Anyway, later that night when I went to go to bed, maybe around 9 or 10, I actually threw up, but then I was able to sleep after that.

Woke up at 3 though and still had a headache so I took some Tylenol PM after having a bunch of saltines and half a piece of pita bread then went back to sleep until around 10 or 10:30 this morning (though I think I was awake for a little while before i actually got up).

So yeah. I feel better today.

Mostly.

And I'm actually hungry hah

You need to watch it. The secondary infection hits a couple of days after the first virus part. Watch for a high fever and get to a Dr. if it seems like you may have pneumonia

Wait really!? Now I'm gonna be worried ha probably good though cause I had no idea. When I've had the flu before I thought it usually hits all at once? This must be a more severe one.

I'm going to a concert tomorrow. Maybe not the best idea but they're back after like a 5 year hiatus and just released a new album so it should be a good one.

And I have my physical Monday so if it gets really bad I'll ask.

My dad claims they don't do anything for the flu though.

That used to be true for the virus part but there is sometimes a bacterial part. That is treated with anti biotics.

The virus part is treated with an anti-viral. Tama flu is one of the anti viral medicines given for flu. The Anti Viral is also used for Viral pneumonia

CDC says all people that test positive for the influenza virus should get tamaflu

Thanks. I had no idea about that. If it turns out it is the flu I'll definitely go in.

Thanks! Have an appetite at least and was able to go out and feed and water the chickens and get the eggs. And I just let them out at around 2 too. Speaking of which, they won't go on the snow LOL

Good Morning Friends :hugs

Thank you for all the likes on the catio, I am thrilled with it. Also, the added bonus of cutting down the amount of afternoon sunlight which gets in to the lounge room; I definitely noticed the difference last night in the temperature. Now we just have to do the hooman side of the deck also.

Hope you feel better soon KD!

Same old, same old today .. predicted maximum of 93F with a high chance of a small amount of rain and a tropical storm.

So, hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to mow I go! Plus killing some weeds and cleaning the coop etc etc
