Tired of being sick

[pls5286]

I am so tired of being sick. I have been sick and in bed since Monday afternoon. Fever, chills, nausea, head and chest congestion and cough. DF made me go to the dr yesterday and I have a massive sinus infection and bronchitis which I have let get close to pneumonia, which explains why difficulty breathing increases throughout the day as I sleep on CPAP. I still can't get my fever to go away either!

All these problems have triggered my underlying headache issues too. I am on so many meds...antibiotics, steroids and breathing treatments. If I am not better monday or get worse I go in the hospital.

On the plus, DF has been great, doing EVERYTHING here and been babying me. I just want to feel better.

Keep up your medications and try to rest as much as possible. Drink LOTS of fluids like juice and tea and water and cold drinks. Don't put too many clothes or blankets on so you can keep cool and let your body get rid of the heat. Write down your temp a couple times a day so you can keep track for your doctor.

I hope you begin to feel better soon. It can take a couple days for the antibiotics to work so have patience. I too use cpap and have had pneumonia and chest colds a lot and I always felt exhausted for a few weeks afterward. Keep us updated. We will keep you entertained.

I know what you mean! I have been sick over a week! I thought it was only a cold, but it was the cold from hell that wouldn't go away. It morphed into a major sinus infection and I finally got some antibiotics from the dr......but some in the family are frowning upon my use of antibiotics because I am 9 weeks pregnant. My OBGYN prescribed some "safer" antibiotics, not the ones I usually use. Anyway, I can't imagine being so sick was good for the baby.

I'm heading back to work tomorrow, I am feeling better and I am out of sick days!

I really, truly hope you feel better but if you need the hospital, go! Anything to feel better.

Wishes for a speedy recovery!
