I've got the symptoms of both a cold AND the flu, and yet not all of either... and it could be a sinus infection, or a lung infection, or pneumonia...
I hate being sick... and it all just started out on Friday/Saturday as a sore throat and has ballooned into absolute HELL.
Yeah, I'm going to the doc's tomorrow since the last time it hurt to breathe it turned out to be a lung infection verging on pneumonia.
I feel pathetic and icky and sore and cranky and GRRR I HATE BEING SICK.
And I took 11 pills this morning in order to get better, sooner rather than later... and only *three* of them were prescription, two of those which are my regular daily meds...
On the upside, according to what I know of the H1N1, this is *not* that - I'm still quite able to function. Although knowing my luck, I'll probably wind up with that too... bloody immune system hates me!! And I have a disability, not a degenerative disease and it doesn't cause deficiencies to your immune system -- I'm just the type of person who doesn't get sick until she's HORRIBLY FREAKING SICK.
