So, I've been sick pretty much steadily since Thanksgiving, and to be really honest, I'm getting sick of it. I was just starting to feel better, and now I have the flu. Throwing up...the whole works. Aaaarrrgh!

The new year isn't looking so good so far. I'm going back to bed until 2006 starts. [Grumble]

I'm sorry
*pours you tea*
I had that stupid 24 hour headache. They are getting worse and make me feel so darn queezy.

Have you been to the doctor?

Thanks Syn...tea is the best. [Smile]

Yeah, twice, Elizabeth. It's been a couple of weeks since the last time I was there, but I finished my antibiotics and started feeling better. Then went to sleep last night feeling cruddy again and lost today's lunch. Sigh. There's a 24 hour nasty bug going around town, and I suspect I got it. If I'm not better tomorrow, I'll go back to the doc to make sure the infection hasn't morphed into something else.

Oh, sweetheart. That is awful.

I'm glad you are going back -- it could be something new, or it could be that the bacteria you were fighting became resistant to the antibiotic. [Frown]

You are very comforting, thank you all. [Group Hug]

Just what I needed.

Aw, Jeniwren, feel better!

Drink lots of fluids, get plenty of rest, read trashy novels if your brain can handle it, lots of movies if it can't, and curl up under a thick warm blankie and with a stuffed animal if you don't have real. Cats are great for curling up with when you're sick - if you're a cat person.

We'll be sending you lots of healthy vibes your way. [Group Hug]

*hugs* I had the flu 2 weeks before the bronchitis. sorry you have them on top of each other that has to be miserable. My favorite tea for clearing out the sinuses is orange-cinnamon chammomile.
