I cant believe this.

[Ms.Squeakers]

So last week was my 2nd week of school.


I missed 2 days because of I got the stomach virus.

Not even a WEEK later, *same day* I get this horrible throbbing tight dry scratchy pain in my throat *I dont know what it is, i wouldnt exactly call it strep, although it may be* along with a terrible headache, and a sinus infection.



Ive missed 3 days of school so far.

3.
Days.

In the 3rd week.


Im terrified. I catch EVERYTHING and this year seems to be a REALLY bad year with infections/viruses going around..and something tells me im going to catch a good amount of them.

Oii.

and..its so annoying, because im always the one to wash my hands, and when i cant i use purell...i always keep my own pack of kleenex's, anytime someone else sneezes i wash my hands. Anytime I sneeze i also wash my hands...

Im a germophobe. I keep a pack of 50 antibacterial wipes in my locker, along with a pump of purell and tissues....
yet...

I am the one to catch everything

I just wanted to vent that.


Has anyone else caught a virus or something this school year so far?
Are you known for missing a lot of days of school each year?

I am.
Everyone always makes jokes like "Jeezers, im not even sure she goes to this school" or "But then you got sick..and missed 3 weeks of school" and it makes me feel SO terrible, because if they could only SEE the kind of crap i deal with when i get sick, they might understand why i have to miss 3 weeks.

Uggh.

End rant thingy..

Post away.

Aww Feel better!!!
I usually don't get sick. I get bad allergies in the fall, and I'll catch colds kinda often, but they're hardly ever bad enough for me to miss school.
And I'm due for a stomach virus actually. I haven't had full blown one in a couple years. So I'll probably catch one of those this year. And I'll also be catching a lot more colds since I'm living in such tight quarters with lots of other people, sharing bathrooms/showers, etc. It should be fun!
But, feel better Mouse!! Here's some to help you!!

 

[imabrat]

I feel your pain.
I've missed at least 6 days of school, and all the others were hlaf days. This is our 3rd week of school.
As we speak, I'm at home after a half day. I have to go to the doctor to get my knee checked out and see if they have some better kind of pain management plan.

 

[whs_singingrose]

I'm in my third week of college and i've missed 2 Tuesday classes already. I started out the year with a sinus infection, and now I think I have the flu since my best friend has it too.

and missing two Tuesday classes when they're on classes you go to twice a week isn't good.​

 

[Babyjustrun]

I haven't gotten sick yet.
One time I ate a garlic finger at school and it made me feel awful all day and I had to call in sick for work, but I have not missed school yet.

I don't know, I always notice it's the germaphobes who get sick more often. My friend is soo annoying because she refuses to open doors, or basically touch anything like that. It's silly because she touches stuff all day covered with germs, you can't get away from them.
I bet you she's sick in a couple days.

Awww Mouse

I'm missing 2 months soon

 

[Columba]

I haven't been sick enough to get out of school in a LONG time. last year, though, I got this crazy bad headache whcih resulted in me throwing up and going to the nurse for a while.

I fake sick at least once a year.

 

[Em&Em]

I am just about ready to finish my 4th week of school and knock on wood I have yet to miss a day. I hate missing days , because I hate having to catch up on all the work given. I always seem to miss days though. I hope you start to feel better Mouse.

 

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

I'm sick right now--I missed last Friday.
When I get sick, I stay sick for a looooonnngggg time.

 

[rock.my.socks]

I dont usually miss alot of school. I dont get sick very often. But I am sick right now, and I have been for a week. I reeeaaaaally hope it goes away soon

 

[Sparx]

i've had a headcold since school started. i lost my voice about a week ago.
ive not missed any school.

i usually dont get too sick or miss too much school. even if i'm sick, i usually come in anyway.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Thanks guys.

Im at the point where yesterday i started feeling it in my throat...then..today i couldnt wake up, but i wasnt asleep *i know that doesnt make sense, but i was up the ENTIRE night, but i was also half asleep but i had this 10 hour nightmare..that...i dont think i will EVER recover from*

So my mom said "well..ill call you off sick for half the day..and if youre feeling better ill take you in during lunch" but..i couldnt do that, because i guess this is just the beginning and its getting worse.


This morning i didnt have a fever, now its 99.9 *which is bad, im a low body temp kid* and its rising so my mom made me take fever reducers.




Im..so...urg.


This just the BEGINNING of the year...dear god..flu season hasnt even come around yet. *not fully at least*.

Im really scared to go back to school *whenever i get better*..because....well...im just afraid.

I know this may be hard but stop using anti bacterial wipes and stuff...your system needs some germs to get immune to them...

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Too much anibacterials = bacteria builds up resistance to whatever you're using.

I haven't missed school yet.

No no I know.

Thats exactly what happens.

I dont use it THAT much..but..

Ive always been a sick little child.

So last year, I got into washing my hands a little more often.

I also take my vitamins, and some iron pills for my anemia.

I dont do that, usually i have a tissue in hand.

Like, if im out of the bathroom and I just washed my hands, i use the paper towel i used to dry my hands off to open the door, then i throw it away at the nearest trash can.

Otherwise i just open it.

 

[ThePurpleMorphy]

Hasn't happened to me yet this year but I can be pretty bad too. My teachers get pretty annoyed lol....

I keep my purse stocked with tissues .

 

[::Snow_White::]

I had mild allergies this week. I had a headache and my nose was running a lot.
Other than that nothing this year. I hardly ever get sick, or miss any days from being sick. Last year I missed one day for being sick and I felt better after I took a nap and worked on my art project. Lol.
Usually I just get allergies for a couple days in the beginning and near the end of school, but I haven't been to the Doctor in a long time.

 

[PrincessKally]

I know a few people already mentioned this but its ironic because the more purell you use and the more you wash your hands, it stops effectively killing the germs because they grow immune to it. Especially if your washing, purell-ing, and using wipes. I know its hard especially if your a germofob(sp?!) but I think it works. I've always been told that but don't know from experiance.

I hope you feel better soon!! Missing school is always rough when there's so much makeup work, I hope your at least being able to get some stuff done at home!

 

[notokay]

Yeah, i get sick all the time. it sucks. I miss a lot of school because of sickness. And I've already come home early one day this year because the a/c was off and it was 84 in my classes and I was going to die.

i've had a headcold since school started. i lost my voice about a week ago.
ive not missed any school.

i usually dont get too sick or miss too much school. even if i'm sick, i usually come in anyway.

People like you are what make people who catch things easily have to miss craploads of school. We thank you.
