Oh ugh

Y'know how I was complaining yesterday about feeling awful. Today is worse. I feel like I am fighting off the flu combined with a couple weeks of insomnia. Neither of which is true, but that's what it feels like.

I know one of the causes: I've recently added another antibiotic to the medication regime, and that has spiked a herxheimer reaction. So I'm doing what I can to get the toxins out of my system. But understanding what is going on doesn't make it any easier.

I had two different birthday parties to attend today - that's not happening. I'm hoping I'll have enough energy to get some writing done tonight, or embroider more Cranky!Bloomers for next weekend's Mourning Market. But I'm trying to remind myself that I don't HAVE to do those things, and that rest is just as important as Getting Things Done. Let's see if I listen to myself, shall we?

Take some comfort in knowing that this reaction means the antibiotics are working! I know that feeling, and it can feel worse than the original illness, but it passes... lemon juice and water is a good cleanser, and I'm wondering if milk thistle is good for the liver part. (But best to ask a pro, of course.)

Rest triumphantly!
