It got me!!

Image Mood: Tired
Pain Scale: 4

It started with 15...the narly flu that has been going around. She had become contaminated the 2 weekends before last. At first we thought it was just a cold, but then the high fever hit and I put myself on contact restriction, but to no avail. It got me!

It's super high fever put me down for 4 days. The total duration of this crazy super flu put me out for about 6-7 days. Last week I still felt icky all the way up till Wednesday. This thing is utterly horrible. It's been a while since I've been that sick...sometimes it felt like I was going to die.

I still have a good productive cough and yummy mucus in my head. Hopefully that will be fully gone by this weekend...hopefully.

So, to any of you out there who know someone coming down with something, anything...heed this warning and RUN!!

And thank you for all the great ideas on the Wall!! I really liked the one from anonymous regarding using corn starch, great idea!!

This is the first time I visit your blog, and I just noticed something on your "about me" section that sort of nagged me, til I put my finger on it... You're still referring to your ex as your "partner". You don't say ex-partner, just partner...

I had the same problem when I dumped my ex after I caught her cheating too, and it caused the defunct relationship to be troublesome (had exactly the same problems with her calling out of the blue).

So, my advice is... Search inside your heart and figure out what it means, and maybe change her title... It will help. It seems insignificant, but it does help.

P.S. Mind if I link to your blog?

OK so you're probably gonna think I'm stalking you or something but I just feel really identified with the whole pain of breaking up your long-term relationship and how you felt as if your world was coming apart since all your dreams did at that time.

Needless to say, it gets better. Slowly, but it does.

And just so you know, since an aunt of mine just recently told me she has fibromyalgia (I didn't know, she'd been diagnosed with carpal tunnel before but not this) I decided to give your link a try, and it's broken. I found the new link, and here it is:
