Flu AGAIN??????????

Mars · Post by **Mars** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 7:23 pm

Hi everyone,

Just checking into the board today - came home sick from work yesterday afternoon with nausea and the squirts. Terrible cramps on both sides of my "sides". Unsure whether it is the flu again (I had it the week before Christmas) or if it is a colitis attack. Seems to fit the colitis attack I had when I found this forum.

No changes in diet or anything but am wondering what is going on. Might have to go to the doc again.

I do know that when I returned to work, everyone in the office was sick. I think I have NOOOOOOO resistance or immune fighting efforts of late. Seems like I get everything that goes around.

I've been on the couch since yesterday, even slept there overnight so as not to get Larry sick if it was the flu.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Love,
Mars

Hi Mars,

Bummer for sure. It's tough to say what's going on, but whatever it is, I hope it doesn't last long.

I remember when I first started getting sick with this stuff - for months I thought that I was either getting food poisoning, or relapses of the flu. It's tough to tell the difference, sometimes.

Hope you recover soon.

Love,
Tex

Oh Margie.................... I hope you will soon see improvement. It does sound like your immune system might be close to inoperative. Maybe it would be a good idea to have some (or a lot of) lab work done to see if everything is working as it should.

Love, Shirley

Hi everyone,

Feeling maybe a little better. Still on the couch - looking like crap but surviving. My sister brought me some Vit. C, flu medicine, orange juice and chicken noodle soup and Puff tissues. Sweet sister!

I've taken all the meds, including some pepto caplets to help with the nausea. I have to go back to work tomorrow so I've done NOTHING all weekend.

The house shows it and so does the pile of laundry but I guess it will wait on me.

I've talked to so many people who either has a bug or who knows someone who does. It seems to be going on since before Christmas. Unfortunately, I seem to have gotten it more than once.

I'm going to talk to my doc about building my immune system and also go to the health food store in the area that is run by a registered nurse and see what she has to say.

Thanks for the get-well wishes. Hopefully it will continue and by tomorrow I will be close to feeling well.

Love,
Mars

Hi Mars,

Oh no, not sick again! Glad your resting, leave the laundry and chores and get a good nights sleep. Hope you feel better in the morning.

Mars,
Sorry you're feeling so lousy. I hope it's not a flare but if it is, try the BRAT diet. Heck, even if it isn't do the BRAT diet and give your insides a rest.
Feel better soon.
