Hey all, just needed to feel sorry for myself for a minute :(
I know everyone is sick in the country, I work at a primary care doctor's office and we see sick people all day, but it caught me the other day and I'm just so sick.
I definately have the respiratory influenza and I also have asthma which makes things so scary. I have had asthma my whole life and for most of my childhood was in and out of the hospital for pnemonia, etc. I was so sick that my parent's were told by my pulmonogist that I for lack of better phrase would never be able to do much because of my breathing problems.
When I was a teenager I decided that I wanted to take charge of my illness and got on some maintenance medication and started exercising. I actually was able to test for the police department and did a marathon at home. I'm now in really good condition, I barely think about my inhalers, and even live with seven animal babies (never would have happened before)
Anyways, now I have this respiratory flu and I'm so weak and wheezy. It is so scary and frustrating to be back to the point where everything makes me winded, I have to take nebulizer treatments, I've been put on steroids, etc. This will take me months to recover from, the weakness takes the longest.
Anyways, hate to whine, just hoping you could spare some pixie dust for a sicky! I know so many people are sick and I pray for them to have a speedy recovery. Everyone take care, wash your hands, get your vitamins, be healthy! Take care!! :thumbsup:
