Why I'm really concerned about my throat at the moment.  I'm winging a lot I know, but I rarely get sick.
 
Several years ago I got Strep Throat, along with a healthy dose of Meningitis and glandular fever.  Knocked me out for 10 months, I'm not kidding you.
 
Strep is normal bacteria in your mouth, intestines, nose etc and can lead to meningitis not always however once you've had it, its like toxic shock you are highly likely to get it again.
 
I'm going to my doc tomorrow, in the mean time I'm trying to take some panadine forte (bit difficult to swallow) and lem sip, which helps to reduce swelling and numb the area.
 
I just didn't think I was that worn out you know, I just thought busy week and all that but if I look back about a month ago in my old job, a few other pressures I've seen a pattern.
 
I'm hopeless at relaxing, I'm hopless when it comes to taking things on board emotionally as though they are my problems to fix.  Urgghh when will I learn this little lesson of asking myself "is it yours?" and if it isn't leave it well enough ALONE!
 
When will I learn to listen more to my body when it tells me I NEED to relax? maybe this time?

Anyway I'll find out tomorrow or when the tests come back until then I feel completely sleep deprived I maxed about three hours last night, hungry but naucious (I know I need to eat but can't stomach anything) I've not felt this ill for fucking years and I don't like it one bit.
 
Remember that post I wrote about when I started to feel off?? I should have just phoned in on the Monday morning and said I'm ill let me get better for the week before I start. 
 
So now I title myself Mrs Dick Head!

    No chance of that today I'm afraid, hubby is taking the MIL and a friend up in a chopper - I am staying on the ground.  Then lunch with the MIL and then I have to do clothes washing... I actually think I'm gonna call in sick from work tomorrow and the next day.
     
    my throat looks the same as it did back then, scary.  I gotta learnt o relax man! more yoga I think, breathing exercises as well.  I tried that last night but couldn't concentrate.

  • diabolicdame said on Nov 02, 2008....
    Yeah I'm sure it made you iller.. even just lunch would have been enough for that but a whole day..!! pennicilin.. yeah I'd figure thats wat you'd get for strep.. how soon do you suppose you'd be ok? Oh well.. I hope its really soon! I gotta go to bed now.. but I'm sending some anti-viral thoughts your way!!
