I've been sick again.
It started 2 weeks ago with a nasty cold and my allergies kicking in on top of that.
It lasted about 5 days, 2 of which were bad enough that my Mom had to come take the girls because I was so miserable.
I had a horrible cough that hurt so so much.
It then seemed like it was clearing up only to turn into a nasty sinus infection.
Its now been 2 weeks since it all began and I'm so done.
I've had a pounding headache for 6 days now that just won't go away.
And a couple days ago, my whole upper body just started to constantly ache.
My back, ribs, neck, and every inch of my head.
The worst part has just been that I can't take any strong meds.
I've been taking Tylenol, which hardly makes any difference at all.
I finally gave in and went to Urgent Care yesterday to see if I had something else going on.
I didn't, and there was not much they can do to treat me with the pregnancy.
He gave me a refill on my Flonase to help with my allergies, instructed me to start doing nasal rinses as many times as I can, and gave me a prescription for Vicodin to help with the immense pain I'm in.
But I can only take the Vicodin at night, which sucks because that it when I feel the best.
Its during the day when I'm up and about that I need medicine to help with the pain.
I don't think I've ever been in so much pain for so long.
He said all the achiness was just from the coughing and congestion/infection.
And now I just have to wait it out which could be up to another week.
I didn't really believe that they would be able to do much for me, but I'm so desperate for some relief.
We've never had a winter season with so much sickness before.
its been a rough year, especially having to fight it all being pregnant and not being able to use normal medications.
I'm just so exhausted.
I broke down in tears yesterday more times than I normally do over the course of an entire year.
I still have a long list of things to get done and haven't been able to accomplish hardly anything over the last 2 weeks.
And my next 2 weeks are so jam-packed with teaching preschool 6 days, weekly Dr. Appts, baby showers, tending kids, Easter, etc. that I'm not gonna have much time to do anything other than survive it all.
If this baby comes early, there is no way I will be ready.
I just need the pain to go away.
Its just so hard to function when I have this constant pounding in my head.
I now have so much sympathy for those poor souls who suffer from migraines.
I just want to feel normal again.
I'd happily deal with all the nasty pregnancy symptoms if I could just get rid of all this other crap.
Sorry to vent.
