Life Sucks

Thu May 7, 2009, 1:32 AM
...go figure.

Anyway, as we all know, some stupid thing known as the H1N1 virus, aka the SWINE FLU is going around right now, and people are all freaking out about it, right?

So yeah, I got sick. But not from swine flu, so yeah, none of that OMG QUARANTINE YOU'RE PART OF THE PANDEMIC nonsense. It's just an ordinary cold. Nothing big.

It started last Thursday - go figure. Friggin' Thursdays are the bane of all humanity, I swear. I got a slight sore throat and complained about it all through Friday and Saturday, where it started getting worse. I was tired, and I was coughing and sneezing all over the place. Well, not really ALL over the place, but I was sneezing enough to know that they weren't just random 'dust tickled mah nose' sneezes, and I was coughing more than usual (I have chronic cough).

...anyway, I KNEW I was sick by Sunday (I was in complete denial for the previous days, lolz), and on Monday, I KNEW the cold truck had come by and hit me. It ran me over all through Tuesday, and Wednesday, it finally got off me. So it's Thursday now. I think I'm well enough to go to class again, though I'm a little reluctant to. I'm still tired as hell, and I've got quite a bit of mucus left over. At least I'm not suffocating on it anymore. >> Now THAT wasn't fun.

So yeah, I slept almost through Monday and Tuesday, and it wasn't until yesterday that I really got up and moved around without feeling dizzy or groggy. My highest temperature was 98.8. LOL You people are probably thinking "LOLWUT THAT'S NOT A FEVER YOU IDIOT. YOU'RE A HYPOCHONDRIAC."

...and actually, for me, it would be. For you guys, that'd be a 101.2 degree fever. My normal body temperature is around 95.6 degrees. It's a funny thing that runs in my dad's side of the family; low body temperature. In short, when we get high fevers, WE BURN.

Just a little update for my IRL friends, anyway.

-----------

For my OL chaps, I haven't been on as much due to this. That, and my internet's been a real weenie as of late. I think it caught a bug, too, and it's been slow as hell lately. I have trouble getting on during high-traffic times. We're hoping to get it fixed soon, 'cos my mom can't work without the internet. Soon as it gets cleared up, though, I'll be back posting and stuff. It's too much of a pain to wait on 20 minute page loads. T_T

So yeah, that's about it. I finished CV: Dawn of Sorrow (most of it, anyway; saving for the last battle), and got about a third way through CV: Portrait of Ruin. It's about the only thing I've really 'accomplished' while I was sick. Mindless bashing is good for a bored soul. XD

You know what I heard? I heard chronic coughing is a sign of worms. Have you ever asked the doctor about having worms? (disgusting thought, I know. Just trying to help.)

But no, I don't think you're a hypochondriac. My grandma's a hypochondriac. She can't go outside when it's windy or she'll catch a cold because "the wind got in her ears." Some people just have more health problems than others. My mom's one of those, and I'm sure some of the people at church thought she was a hypochondriac, but she's not.

I have a similar issue myself...I've not been feeling well lately and I've been sleeping during the day a lot (Even though I get 8 hours of sleep at night). My internet coughed up blood and died on my computer now I'm stuck on this old clunker till its fixed...

Still, I hope things get better for you AK, we miss ya.

Im o_o so the same Im like 94.8 - 95.4 thats a normal body temp for me XD it's great though because my friends are always trying to warm my hands up, and I keep telling them it's normal. X3 Dude Leafeon she doesnt have worms .. Some chronic cough cases are just extra mucus build up ...most worm cases come from undercooked foods.

Feel better! XD

O_o Glad you're on the road to full recovery. :heart:

(Ah, I've also been having web probs, so I think it's something in our area of the grid)

Bummer... I'm getting over a cold too, but it wasn't as bad as yours. 0.o

Indeed.

Leave it to children to act childish in a situation like this, leave it to adults to act childish and ignorant in a situation like this, and then leave it to the world's governments to be responsible and stay out of it. But the world is full of childish and ignorant people, so they had to go way over the top to try and calm people down (and are doing a bad job at doing so), so what are you to do.

Feel better, use the time you're at home to catch up on whatever is on your computer, like drawing or writing. I use my Xbox to solve my bedridden boredom, but not everyone has an Xbox.
