Sick Day

[elizalavelle]

Ugh I am so sick. Totally have the flu (the one you get the flu shot for ... cold with a fever and lots of aches and pains) and I am very much unimpressed. No this still does not make me want to get a flu shot at all, I'd rather get some natural immunity to this so I don't get sick later on this year with the same darn thing. Still no fun. I could feel myself getting a little foggy yesterday and I had a hormonal migraine (there's a fun combination) but I still pushed through and got through work and tutoring (I probably caught this from the kid who I tutored last night so I wasn't too worried about making her sick) and then fell asleep just after 10 last night. Then I woke up around 1:30 and spent from then 'til now, tossing and turning and having a fever and chills and hurting in all of my muscles. This is my least favourite kind of sick because I couldn't sleep through it and mostly I just feel whiny.

Also I still have that headache, it's been downgraded from migraine which is good but it's refusing to go away.

So I'm off sick from work, not happy about doing that because I missed a day last week and I do not like having sick days so close together.

I miss having Nomi as my roommate, she made me soup last year when I was sick like this.

Thank you :)

I rarely get really sick. I had the flu virus once last year and I'm hoping this is my once for this year.

The flu shot wouldn't really make it any better, most likely - you still get sick anyway!

Hope you feel better soon. *sends hugs*

Agreed. Flu shot protects against something like 5 out of 1000 strains of the flu virus. Ergo yup odds are good I'd still have gotten sick.

Thanks for the hugs :)

No problem - they worked if you're feeling better ^_^

*hugs* awww sorry you're sick darlin' *sends soup and blankies*

Soup and blankies are much appreciated :) I've been resting pretty much all day, I still hurt and feel weak (which is more annoying and frustrating than anything) but I'm better than I was so I'll at least be able to make it into work tomorrow.

Boy, that sounds familiar ... I used to get those twice a year until I started getting flu shots. Now I get them about once every other year -- but they're *worse*! Hope you're feeling better soon.

I steadfastly refuse to get flu shots beause I'm all about building my natural immunity to these things. The worst is over now anyways, usually it's only a truely horrible 24 hours and then I start to improve :)

I shot my natural immunity a long time ago! :-)
