    Besides me?

    We got sick about 2 weeks ago with a severe throat issue (my son and I) but our symptoms really were more flu like and we seemed to beat it and then it creeped back in with the coughing and the headaches on friday. 

    Anybody else having bizarre wish to walk around in nothing but sweats or yogapants and drink tea (hot or cold)?

    Raises hand!

    Sick for two weeks, serious case of the breakouts b/c of it, plus a lovely fever blister to mark my three days of feverish hell, and it's all settled into a sinus infection - leaving me to eat with my mouth open and mouth breathe like napoleon dynamite.

    And my wedding is in two weeks. I have a million things to do, and I'm too dang tired to do anything at all.

    *hugs* being sick is the worst thing ever, no doubt.

    I haven't been sick, but I've felt super unfabulous. Between not being able to find a new job that I actually like/ pays me a living wage, gaining a ton of weight, not going to the gym, waiting for the boy to bring up ring shopping, and the general blah-ness of winter coming, I've been super miserable and anoxious about everything and nothing at the same time.

    It's only temporary, but I still prefer curling up with tea and watching a chick flick in sweatpants.

    Have you tried emergen-c?  I've resorted to that in the last 3 days. Raspberry flavor fizzy stuff you pour as a powder into your glass then add water.

    Sorry you're feeling unfabulous too.  You gotta get fabulous!~ You're the bride honey!  Here's a glass of emergenc-c as a toast to you! (like flavored alka seltzer).

    I do! I love that stuff - and you're right - raspberry is the best!

    I've been popping C, B12, putting E on the fever blister, trying my darndest to work out and trying to do a lot of deep breathing. Wooooooo-sa!

    Sorry KSull you're feeling unfab too.  I know how you feel.  Sweats, t and a chick flick sounds just like what I'd wished my doctor would have ordered!

    I haven't worn makeup in days and actually tried last night.  My laundry has piled sky high and I don't care.

    I feel frumpy.  Positively frumpy.  I even blogged last week about feeling frumpy and remembering myself at my frumpiest.

    ME! I woke up sick on Wed, had 2 days off, felt better, and starting last night it got worse. I'm tired of being sick! = ( I want to breath out of my nose and not my mouth! I want to sleep less then 13 hours a day! Ugh. To make it even better I gave it to my FI, too...but at least I didn't give him chicken pox. haha.

    The scary thing is my FSIL came down with swine flu, and she thought it was a bad cold before she went to a doctor when it didn't go away.

    Yea it always could have been worse.  Like my boss always says, "it could have sucked more." lol!

    To make it worse, all I lost was about 3 pounds.  Three darn pounds for two weeks of friggin' misery?  Three pounds?

    MEEEE. I'm not sick persay, but my TMJ is super fierce this week. I feel like someone is choking me and wrenching me around the jaw. Even when I try to relax the tension is there. I'm constantly fighting back the migraines and I'm back to wearing my squishy mouthgard again. One more week and I'm heading to the doctor for some Celebrex. I feel like I got into a bar fight and lost!!!

    I did manage to clear out half the closet for DH's clothes for when he comes home in a month. I'm learning to share =]

    @bellenga-I'm probably not doing anything costume related until very last minute. I'm sorry you have to go out!

    EJS- He gets half of the closet? Wow. lol. I need to clean out our dresser. FI has so much stuff in there that he never even wears or doesn't fit. I'm keeping my fingers crosses you can keep the migraines away!

    EJS..girl you're so much a better woman than I.  Giving up HALF your closet?  I think you just earned a platinum set of wings in heaven!  I could never do that.  I am a closet hog.

    I have SO felt the same way for three weeks now!  It started with the sore throat, then a headache for four days and then I started to feel better, and it started all over again with bad cold symptoms.  I NEVER get sick, but I went to the doc and he gave me Zyrtec.  It helped, but it has taken a while.  On top of feeling physically tired and sick, I have felt emotionally tired and sick as well.  Three nights last week, I laid down at night feeling like I needed to cry.  Just bummed for no REAL reason.  Glad to hear others are in the same boat, but hoping we all get over it soon!

    I've just been sort of bleh, meh, and borderline sick for the past week or two. It's not awful, but it is certainly not good.

    Also, just a ton of stress.

    Me!  I've been sick for over a week, since we came back to England from our wedding trip.

    But it's actually been nice, to have a good excuse to catch up on sleep, and to just laze around.

    I'm getting in gear tomorrow, though!  Don't want to take another week of unpaid vacation!

    Feel better, everyone!

    Ugh, feeling unfabulous here too! Last night out of nowhere I got super sneezy and if I wasn't sneezing, I was feeling like I had to sneeze and then wasn't able to (which is SO much worse!) Woke up this morning with my throat hurting a little, and now just feel like crap. I wouldn't have even thought about leaving the house today, but I had to go out and pick some stuff up for an event at work tomorrow. Frown Hope everyone else starts feeling better soon!

    @EJS: I think I may need to look into this TMJ thing. I don't know what my deal is, but for the past few months I just find myself biting down SO hard, and sometimes it's next to impossible for me to relax. Sometimes makes my whole face feel contorted.....sheesh.

    I am feeling unfabulous, I have not slept much in the past day or so.  Maybe an hour or two of the past 36.  It feels like it should be 5a.

    Went to take BF to ER last night, and I get to the hospital AND THERE IS NO ER.  WTH.  There was a fancy little sign "ER has moved, call this number for directions".  

    You would *think* that the hospital being by the major thoroughfare of the area, close to the downtown, would have an ER.  No.  Gotta go over and under and around and kitty corner, to get from the hospital to the hospital.  For an ER.  

    Poor BF, I imagine he feels even more unfabulous than I do.

    Yeah, I'm feeling unfabulous lately.

    A whole lot of stuff has attributed to this.. a sinus infection I just got over, drama at work that's leading me to look for another job, my financial stability, and this migraine I've had all weekend.

    Blah.

    @honeybun, yeah, i've had TMJ for years now. Not sure what triggers it, but i clench AND grind in my sleep and my lower jar/mouth feels so strained all day. It hurts my ears, causes migraines, etc.

    I ordered a special custom fit mouthguard to sleep with--it was like $200 but it forces me to relax in my sleep. It's getting better with that, but if it keeps up, it's time to go on the arthritis medicine. You should definitely look into it. It can get so bad you can barely eat and the longer you let it go the harder it is to make go away

    Try some moist heat on your jaw--i have a "corn critter" which is a big bag of deer corn that i heat in the microwave and it gives off a warm, soothing heat. It really helps...i just stick it on my face while i'm reading textbooks.

    :( for all of the fellow TMJ sufferers. For me it can go hand-in-hand with my migraines.

     

    I feel really extra unfabulous right now.

    @ EJS: Thanks, I really do think I need to figure out what's going on. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it, and then I just catch myself biting down SOOOO freakin hard...and then it's not like I can just loosen up - I have to actually sit there and think about it and it takes me a few seconds. Sheesh...

    By the way, feeling even more unfabulous today. And I had to work an event for my job - a Breast Cancer awareness luncheon with like 500 women in a fancy hotel ballroom. And there I stood behind our table sniffling and sneezing, looking like Rudolph. I'm surprised anyone even came up to our table with me looking like that. At least I was giving away mini bottles of Purell hehe
