Avoided the flu, but not this crud....

I caught a bug. UGH!
I've been attacked by a sore throat, headache and sinus congestion. I'm home from work a second day today and while my throat isn't raw like it was yesterday, I'm still stuck as a mouth breather with a gnarly headache. My right eye feels swollen and puffy and loves to leak.
I HATE being sick. I have problems with guilt, and sitting around when I could be getting things done makes me feel worse. I usually don't catch colds or flu. The last time I was sick and missed work was probably close to 3 years ago. Honestly, this is the first time I've been ill since I met my husband. My husband is the tough guy when he's sick - I am the whiner.
Maybe if I can get a nap in today, I'll have a better attitude.
Even my little man is feeling the affects - his movements are slow and shallow yesterday and this morning. I hope we improve by tomorrow.

 | Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Mar. 27, 2014 11:42am I love the idea of essential oils. I just need to ORDER them - can't seem to find them where I shop. And I forget constantly. I'm on the upswing now. More energy, less headache, still snotty and red nosed. I'm way sexy these days. haha |
 | Comment from jennavee » Posted Mar. 25, 2014 8:55pm Boo!! I hate being sick too. Are you into essential oils? I tend to get sinus headaches, I use a blend of peppermint and lavender and it's amazing for headaches. The only thing that works other than that is excedrin migraine and obviously that's a no-go for me while pregnant. |
