Who here has the flu or had it?
On Thursday last week I started getting a really sore throat, but it was like the area near the nose that was sore, so i was rather anoyed with that=-no soothers or icecream help relieve it. SO i called in sick for Saturday coz i didnt want to get the norovirus that has been going around and was apparently in the nursing home I work at. The sore throat eventually went away over the weekend but it was replaced by this annoying cough.
I started losing my voice on Monday which was quite bizzare, and annoying considering I am on my nursing prac. Completely lost it for a bit on Wed morning and coz of hte stupid snifflying etc i got a blood nose in the middle of a seminar and had to run out of the room. The faciliator asked if I was ok when i returned. I was fine, apart from feeling hot and flushed. It was so hard to not cough so much during the seminar but got through it. Tuesday night i threw up at night coz i was coughing so much. Then it happened again on Thurs night.
Thankfully my voice is slowly getting there. yesterday i thought that the cough was starting to go away coz i wasnt coughing so much, but then get to bed half asleep and then i wake up coughing up my food which wasnt good...and couldnt stop. So i had to ring up work and call in sick for this morning whcih isnt good coz i need the work and thats 3 wknds ive called in sick coz of being sick...
And now i feel so dizzy and got a headache from coughing all the fricking and its keeping my housemates up at night. Stupid medicaton isnt working either which isnt goog at all.
My friend said the other day that i may have whooping cough, and im like shit i hope not! Coz that is really contagious and I dont want to take time off prac for it. Oh well ill check with the doc on Tuesday when i go to get my routine blood test results...i know what they will say=low iron...tell me somehting i didnt know lol
