    Default Sick and Scared

    I've always had a rotten immune system, so colds and flu come easily.

    This one is scaring me though. My joints are swollen. I'm typing this and it hurts (not stopping me though; need to get this out).

    I'm seeing the doctor at 12:30. Was supposed to go last night but was late for my appt due to heavy traffic and they made me reschedule.

    I had to use lotion to get my rings off; even my engagement ring which was a little loose to begin with.

    Not sure why I'm typing this, maybe just send some good vibes, please?

    Lots and lots of good vibes, I had no idea you felt so bad, you didn't mention any of this when we were talking yesterday. I mean you said you had a cold but nothing more than that. Call me and let me know what the doctor has to say. Love ya!

    I'm sorry to hear about this. I also have been suffering from a lot of joint pain recently. I hope you feel better soon.

    Oh hunny! I feel your pain, that's how I felt back in Feb, horrible fever spikes, swollen everything, coughing, puking, the works! Come to find out it was that nasty strain of flu that went around; and it had me in it's sights dead to rights.

    Relax, cause stress makes it longer to heal and a worse condition, drink plenty of fluids, and soft foods; after your appt, go grab ratty pj's, warm tea, new movies, and crank the heater up burrow in blankets in the bed, and hibernate for a day or so. I finally had to call my MIL to take the kiddo for the weekend so I could re-coup and when I got out of bed 2 days later, I felt 1000x better than when I went in!

    You gots me worried babe, get to feeling better soon love!

    I would also advise seeing a reflexologist! My lymphatic system got sluggish and made me swell (especially my legs) and the docs didn't know what it was or anything but kept prescribing me all kinds of drugs. That was 10 years ago and I was miserable for 6 months.

    I started having the same problem last year and went to a reflexologist and the things they gave me to do not only kept the swelling down, but actually made me feel better and healthier.

    Go to the doctor to rule out anything severe. Then hit the reflexologist for more insight/information.

    Hope you feel better soon!!

    Thanks for all the great vibes...I really felt them while at the doctor.

    So, he examined me and listened to my list of problems (yes, I actually have a dr. that listens!) and ordered blood work to test for Lyme Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Thyroid disease.

    Given my symptoms, he is leaning towards thyroid which is usually easily treatable with medication.

    I also got my scrip for Chantix to stop smoking, nasal spray for my allergies (why I thought I had a cold) and Rosarum for my insomnia.

    So, yay! I'm closer to finding out what's wrong. My arm is bruised from the needle, but other than that, I'm looking forward to finally finding out why I'm sick all the darned time.

    Thanks again everyone. You were really there when I needed you.

    Yuck - that sounds awful. I hope you get everything figured out. I'd be careful of the Chantix though. I have heard about a lot of side effects that come with it. Better to just quit cold turkey when you're up to it.

    oooh which nasal spray? (i take flonase and astelin, both work wonders for me)

    i'm so glad you are a step closer and hopefully not so scared anymore. ::more hugs::

    Love it!

    I wish I could quit cold turkey. Unfortunately, I work in advertising where I'm constantly under pressure. I've tried a million times. 3 of my coworkers have quit successfully with it, so I hope I do as well as they did.

    He has me on Nasacort. Reason being that I can't take allergy meds in pill form. No matter what type, even daytime stuff, makes me sleepy.

    thanks for the hugs everyone!

    I'm glad you made out ok at the doctor but I'm concerned about the Chantix. I read an article on it and it wasn't good. Mood changes, halucinations, suicidal thoughts. I think it was in a magazine here in the office, I'll see if I can find it.
