DO NOT WANT

[cupcake_goth]

•  Started feeling unwell Friday evening.
• Felt progressively more unwell Saturday and Sunday.
• Yep, progressively more unwell today

I don't have a fever, but I do have all-over body aches, I feel like I'm breathing through cotton batting and that there's some sort of elastic around my lungs, and everything makes me exhausted. Eating makes me exhausted.

This may be a huge flare up of the chronic fatigue/ME thing. But better safe than sorry, so I'm getting a COVID test tomorrow. (The soonest I could schedule one.)

hopefully it is just the flu. I had something like this the first two weeks of December (I came down with it a few days after we got back from Portland - we think we caught something while we were waiting for the train home; Dor has been down with it the last few days). And yeah, the "is it a FLARE UP, or is it a FLU?" game is definitely no my 'least favorite games' list.

That is what got me and Thekla, it was bad.

Stay well and take care of yourself!

Oh, shit! I'm doing what atheists do in situations like this: hoping fervently that you don't have the 'rona.

Do you have a pulse oximeter? A little more peace of mind if you monitor and there is no change in oxygen levels. Whatever it is I hope you feel better soon!

Sending best scenario and rapid recovery vibes. And tea and your favorite crumpets, and fluffed pillows.

I am here to admire your username.

Why, thankee. It's a fragment of a Firefly quote, and a tribute to the one who spoke it.

There is also a pretty grim cold going around the state. whatever it is, I hope you recover soon.

[ndrosen]

Whatever it is, I hope that you enjoy a full and speedy recovery!

Dislike :(

Crossing all digits it's not the Thing That Must Not Be Spoken.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

But in general - get as much rest as possible. Stay warm. Resting while inclined up a bit might help. Drink lots of fluids and eat salty things to offset drinking too -much- fluid.
