I'm sick, yet again. And i'm trying to decide if it's bad enough for me to stay home or not. It's only a 4 1/2 hour shift I'm working, but I have to use a bus ticket to get there. I have a throat infection/irritation of some sort. Feels like I did in January when I ended up visiting the hospital every eight hours to get drugs intravenously because I couldn't swallow, but it's not as bad right now as it was. Talking hurts a little, but not drastically. Swallowing really fuckin hurts. AAAARGH! I hate being sick, at that inbetween staying home and going to work point. Grrr.
I've never been sick as much as I have this year, it's ridiculous. I mean, last time I had to visit the hospital (not including this year) was in grade 8, some seven years ago. Yet I've already been once in Jan and am contemplating it again. Or i might see if my mom can take me to a minor emergency clinic instead. Hospital's closer though, and has cute doctors. I'm stressed hell fuckin yes. But normally it's nausea or panic attacks that I get when I'm stressed and my body decides to get all symptomatic over it, I don't get these nasty arsed colds all the time. Either my bf or my friend infected me, I think. My bf's throat was feeling peculiar a couple days ago, and my friend had a super bad fever earlier this week. grr.
*Hugs* I Can Sympathise...Somewhat...In that I Have Quite a Bad Ear Infection that Started in June Last Ear... Although I Want to Stay at Home...There is No One to Cover for me on the Days that I Work... Infections are Just Nasty...
blech. I called in sick and went to a walk in clinic/minor emergency place. And all they did was take a throat swab. Shoulda gone to hte hospital... last time I was there they gave me antibiotic and anti-inflammatories by IV (along with some saline). These guys did nothing. And I promised I'd be at work tomorrow come hell or high water. So, if I still feel like crap tomorrow, or worse, I'm gonna hit the hospital and see if they'll do something for me. *grumbles*
ive had a cough for a few weeks now though i think its getting better, although it seems to have moved to my sinuses
have you seen the thread in health about vite c? every time i start feeling run down, i take vite c until i feel better. it's been keeping me healthy all year long. good luck!
