Welcome my love, will read your thread in a mo.......
I think my horrible virus is flu. Spent most of yesterday in bed, aching all over, can't eat, stinking big cold, chest pain, back pain, ribs feel bruised with coughing. I have no voice at all (but you guys can't notice that bit ). DP is grumping about like a big PITA. He has zero patience for the children and is going about like a bear with a sore head because he did 100% of the childcare yesterday. After he'd popped them all into bed, I asked him how the day was. He mumped and moaned about how hard it was to deal with the tantrums and how he'd done all the laundry and cooked dinner and how he still had the kitchen to clean up and he was tired......... Welcome to my world!
I never, never, ever, stay in bed. When I have hideous colds I just work through it. I truly can't this time. I couldn't tell you when I last felt like this. Actually that is a lie. I stayed in bed 3 years ago about the same time with a similar virus. Three years ago! And I have nursed him through a zillion migraines, bringing him homemade soup and keeping the children out the way so he can have quiet.
He fell out with me this morning because i have arranged with my mum to take the DTs this afternoon to give him a break. He "doesn't need the break". The DTs do!!!!
Oh sorry, big rant. I'm just pissed off big style and disapointed not to feel better today. I am not a good patient.
I won't go to the doc as I feel 100% sure its a virus. But at what point should I go? I still have a temp, chest tight and sore, very dry cough that hurts. I never go to the docs as I have allergies to most ABs.
