My poor daughter has the flu and we have been fighting a high temp. (104.1) for almost two days. It's a full time job taking care of this yucky bug! Poor kid. :( Stay healthy, Queenies....WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, i know what it feels like, I was sick the 4 days of Thanksgiving, with high temperature and in bed for 2 days, it sucks, and i still have the cough :(, hope your daughter feels better
I have just got over a very nasty bug, sickness, diarehea, sweating,thumping headache, tempreture but feeling cold with the shivers, 10 days it took to get over it and i lost nearly a stone in weight.
I started with hayfever-like symptoms on Sunday (constant runny nose and sneezing) then yesterday I got up with a thumping headache which lasted all day, and last night I went to bed with the aches and shivers ... I slept in pyjamas, socks, with a travel rug and my bathrobe on top of the duvet but I couldn't stop shaking, then I was hot and cold. I didn't get up until 3pm this afternoon and I've no real appetite :(
I had my first and only really bad bout of flu a few Christmases ago and it was horrendous, so I'm hoping this is as bad as it gets this time.
Get well soon to everyone :)
I wish a get well soon wish to all of you who are sick or have ones sick. :|
This flu is getting awful, all the rest of this week, I'm out of school b/c of it! :D hehe yay good luck to your school getting shut down too Mandy. :) Btw, have you seen anything about Lou Reed's book of photography?
Awwww, sorry you're all sick too. I had my flu shot in Oct. so I hope that works! I'm trying all of my motherly skills to get this damn fever down. The tepid bath helped for the moment but it spiked right back up shorlty after. The doc. says it will take a few days for the fever to end and then a few more to get strength back so all of you "hang on in there!"
Not I but I can sympathise with you that do...fortunately Australia has already had the flu-ish/cold times...now excuse me, I have to go battle pluracy mixed with pneumoniaultramicroscopicsiliovolcaniosis.
that's a big ass word there. n/p
My daughter and I had a form of the flu a few weeks ago. Still trying to get rid of this hack. Sounds like I'm coughing up a lung. If I could just get my sinuses back under control, life would be better.
how fun, i just get over the damn thing and theres this thread!
I was stuck in bed since friday and i wasnt able to move/eat all that good stuff...i was however able to VOMIT...and a LOT. I lost 15lbs in just a couple days :D wow! you can see my ribs now!
There are quite a number of different flu like virus circulating at the moment.
Fijian Flu
Russian Flu
Hong Kong Flu
Indonesian Flu etc etc
Were all doomed.
Today's bulletin is that the cold seems to be shifting but I feel shite in myself - dunno if it's lack of food or what. On the other hand, I've noticed I haven't started with my usual chesty, hacking cough yet so I'm guessing that will kick in at the weekend when my b/f comes up to nurse me :)
Hmm, now do I go back to work or not ...? (cos if I don't, my b/f comes up sooner)
;)
"What?? that's a lot Paloma, you ok now?"
Yeah, Im fine thanks, just trying to get myself to eat again...half a bagel will last me all day now...but considering my days arent very jam packed LOL (Im sitting in class now waiting to go home in an hour....graaaah i need my bed, im so tired and dizzy)
