Be forewarned, I plan to whinge and complain....

I read Christina's post below about beling sick and thought we had the same thing. Seems we don't. I started out with a head cold a couple of weeks ago. That seemed to get better then worse. I've been home since Wednesday I feel so crummy. headache, no appetite, plugged sinuses, scratchy throat, no voice or squeaky voice, cough, sneezing, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, earache, EXHAUSTED, and it hurts to breathe. Saw my primary care yesterday. She said I have a bacertial infection, viral infection and all this triggered my asthma. I'm on an anti-biotic, anti-viral med, steroids for the asthma, increased asthma meds on top of all my daily meds.

This happens any time I get a respritory infection. I'm gonna be sick for weeks. I'm already tired of being sick! I'm bored out of my skull being locked in the house. I'm too exhausted to do anything other than stare at the idiot box or surf the web.

anyone remember the Police song "Every breath you take?" I keep thinking of it because every breath I take feels like someone is sandpapering my throat and lungs - hence I wish breathing were optional.

OK, end of self-pitying post.
Thanks for this!
