Happily married mother of two(by birth), and step mother of 4 grown children.
(I think it's odd to try and describe my parental status as I raised my oldest stepson from about the time he was 4 1/2, so I claim him as one of "my kids".
However, the other three stepchildren were not raised by me, but I don't claim them any less, just differently. But when people ask "How many kids do you have?" It's not a simple answer.)
I'm a sap. And an old fashioned romantic. I believe in promises and I believe in God- perhaps not as most say they do, but off grid, out of the box- I tend to believe that God is bigger than most people think is possible. And I'm beginning to be more open minded about what/who God is. I've "seen things" and "known things" some I can't begin to explain. Because of this and my verocious love of reading, I sometimes "don't fit" in main street thinking and beliefs.
What's wrong? Ok. loaded question... let's see (insert twisted smiley puking, rolling eyes here) Exhaustion, headache, sniffle, cough, sore throat, runny nose, dizzy, lost my ability to speak, movement hurt, to not move hurt, my eyes hurt, bloody noses, ears popping and mostly unable to hear, my chest hurt, everything ached, I lived in a fog- hot showers and the GOD-sent hot tub were my saving graces! For the first time I understood the medicinal benefit of chicken broth. It was all that I wanted. The only thing that even slightly appealed to me. Lots and lots of vitamins and other medicinal variety of things to get me moving each day (for the few hours I FORCED myself to go to work) To be honest I think I lost a couple days in there somewhere... But now I appear to be on the mend... sniffles, coughing and ear popping are the hardest daily stuff but at night I'm sleeping in the recliner cuz if I lay flat (or attempt a pillow stack) I end up coughing and gagging all night and get ZERO sleep which was part of the Exhaustion problem. Stiff muscles and I ache, but so far from where I was a few days ago. That was pretty decriptive I think... insert another smiley (gagging red faced) laughing and coughing at the same time... Appreciating the humor and the irony of life...
Hmmm...that does sound pretty serious. You didn't go see a dr.? Some of the symptoms sound like a severe cold, but the bloody noses are a different story (I've had them a lot lately too, but mine's the anemia). There are some really bad things going around right now and you should really have seen a dr. If you start feeling icky again, you should definitely go in!
I hope you're feeling better by now. I read your blog pretty late. There's a great book that I have that has helped me immensley to weigh out when I can safely do the home remedy (self treatment) or when I should waste no time & immediately see a doctor. It's called Take Care of Yourself by Vickery & Fries. It's saved me a bundle in unnecessary doctor visits & helped me make the right call about when I need to get the doctor involved. Personally, these past two weeks I've been dealing with sinusitus. Sounds like you have what I have AND THEN SOME!!!
