Well I missed my appointment today. I called to re-book. I woke up with a tummy ache and was hoping it would settle. It did not. Through the day I started to feel better but it just kept hitting me. Then I broke out in this gross rash. It is soooo damn itchy. It is covering my face, neck and hands. My hands are bright red and blotches all over my face. My throat hurts to the point of not wanting to talk. And my stupid tummy feels queezy.

So it must be the flu. Although I don't understand this rash. I have never had something quite like this. I get dry skin and all but this is weird. I want to take a knife to it---ewwww. sry but its making me even nuttier.

Sucky part is with it being New Years day, doctors offices are closed. I really don't think I need to go to ER for this. I will hold off.

Hope u all had a safe and happy new year. Best wishes for all of you in 2005.

You have a sore throat and a rash, how about a fever? Is the rash on your chest? May be scarlet fever, if rash and sore throat persist it has to be cultured immediately as Scarlet fever in the old days caused heart damage. Now we catch it. Watch that rash girl.

Keep an eye on that rash and if you feel worse or it gets worse, please go to ER. Atleast youd get some relief. Can you take or have you tried taking some Benadryl? Maybe that would help with the itching.

Much love to you dear and hope you feel better real soon!

Justy,

I sure hope you feel better. with "red blotches" it doesn't sound like scarlet fever. it's more like a fine, sand papery rash on torso, but not too red. it sounds like you're having hives. daughter did this with a viral infection she got one time. not only was she sick as heck, the hives added torment. with everything that's going on, i sure hope you can get to dr.

i hope you can get to dr tomorrow? i hope you feel better.

Hey all. Rash is still here. I don't have a fever, just hot and cold. But not overly hot. I feel kind of chilled.

I am still itchy and blotchy. It does feel like sand paper. I had to rub it (instead of scratching) and I made it bleed on my FACE; yucky. If anything, my neck is now the itchy part. My right hand is a little swollen but not too bad. It is red but it seems to go up and down. Sometimes it looks bright red then it will look like a pale red. Its like that off and on all day. I am just trying not to touch it or put anything on my face. I can't put any make-up on (I tried to cover it--duhhhh). It hurt. So I have to be natural looking; lolol. Not that I have any where to be anyway. I got some sleep which felt good. But my throat sure it sore. And yesterday my lips were swollen. My top lip is still a little swollen with a big red mark on on side. I look lovely; lolol.

But I don't feel to rough. My chest is getting a wicked cough. Starting to burn when I cough. I will have to go see the doctor tomorrow after I take kids to school. I was wanting to wait for my doctor but that would be silly. He is not going to be at his office till the 10th. I don't want to give my kids anything if its something contagious. And my son has his appointment in Calgary on the 7th at the Childrens hospital--I sure the hell don't need to be getting other little ones sicker than they are. Poor little duffers. That was heart breaking last time we went. I wanted to hug all of those sweet little things with IV's coming out of every which way. So I will go in the am and let u all know.

Thanks everyone. I don't think its too serious as I don't have fevers or major symptoms. Like I say, feeling better with the tummy. No worries. Ohhh, my kids are coming home today. HURRAY, HURRAY, HURRAY. I miss them. And my parents came here for only a day, but for once it went really good. My dad was wonderful and they look great. So my kids have a bunch of gifts to open. And tons of new clothes from everyone. They are going to get sick of opening gifts; lolol. They had Christmas with us, then dad, now the gifts from my side. My oh my. Spoiled rotten.

Justy, I'm glad you're not feeling too bad, and I also think it is good that you're getting to the dr tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be anything serious. I hope you feel better soon.

Hello again. Well I did not make it today. My son was sick and was home from school. So we just watched movies for the most part.

I don't feel so great again. But the rash is almost gone. I do have some sores in my mouth, but nothing painful really. I can feel them but it does not hurt. But my lungs sound horrible, my throat is getting worse, and my back has been on fire all day. I am also retaining fluids. My ankles, hands, and tummy are swollen. But I am sure it will get better. The pain in my side is almost gone so I am not worried about that. I probably just have a virus which will just run its course. The water retention is most likely from my screw up with too many "pills". So it will get better if I don't take anymore right now.

I feel extemely depressed at this point. I was starting to feel up but I fell. Last night went good as my kids came home. But its like I woke up and grief took over. It will pass in time.

Maybe you should have taken your child WITH you to the doctor? If you're coughing, you could have affected the kiddos too? Please take care of you...see a doctor, and go by his professional opinion ok? ((((justy)))))

My son had his usual headaches yesterday. Not much we can do at this point. Just try to keep it under control. His neurologist appointment is this Friday. He is okay today and off to school.

So anyway he is feeling good. He was full of life this morning and quite a character. He has this smile that could melt an ice age. They were co-operative today which was a relief.

Thanks,

Justy

I am getting worse!

[itsjustme111]

Thats not good Spaz. Its sucks to feel like sheeetttt.

I am hanging on till my doctor gets back. I will probably go see him next week sometime if I still feel yucky. But things run through the body and we get better. I have to even phone as I need my thyroid meds. I am almost out. But I may be able to just phone and get the office to call it in to my pharmacy. As much as I miss my doctor, I don't want to see him. I have really been hiding out lately. Not feeling good in anyway so I just did not want to talk about this anymore.

I have avoided my old t this week, my chrioprator, and not going to see any doctors for now. I am tired of talking thats all. Not much has changed so what can they anyway?? Time.......

I am at the point of wanting to be alone. I don't talk to anyone. Friends have called and I don't call back. I am always so close to tears so why fall apart on them?? I am sure everyone here has felt like digging a hole and hiding in it where nobody can find you. Well, thats me right now. I hate the build up of tears in my throat, so close to just letting loose. sigh.......

I see my new tomorrow and I honestly don't want to go. I want them to leave me be for now. I need some time to work things out in my mind. But I know I have to go.
