shingaIt's been a frustrating day. Yesterday my throat started hurting. Today it hurt worse and then BAM sinus pressure, drainage, headaches, chills, hurting all over, cough, exhaustion... not cool, body! Luckily it seems to be moving pretty fast. I hope I feel better enough tomorrow to go to therapy, I'd rather not have to go three weeks without.
I seem to be okay-ish now. I took a very hot bath and whatever fever was causing the chills broke pretty easily. I can breathe a bit better. I've taken ALL THE MEDICINES we have in the house that can even KIND of help. Tonight I chug NyQuil and try to sleep off the last of it.
I rarely get sick. It's just not my thing. I get exhausted from pain so health-wise it SEEMS to others like I'm "sick all the time", but it's different. Things like sinus infections, colds, etc... I just don't do them often and when I do it lasts, at most, two days. I've never had the flu or strep despite being around it plenty. I have a hell of an immune system - it's something I've enjoyed.
So this is annoying me. The fact that it happened the same day I started my period is far from a coincidence... the immune system takes a small beating when the uterus does. So, yeah. Hopefully soon my body calms the hell down. Made sure to take some iron, too.
Fingers crossed, etc etc. If I'm still feeling under the weather tomorrow but my throat is okay I'll take soap with me and be careful and at LEAST make it to therapy, even if I have to stay home from socializing that night. But IDK my general history of sickness says I'll be fine tomorrow, just a bit sniffly. *knocks on wood*
