scrapbookbuzz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Okay, I'm really stumped so maybe you all can help me out here. Tuesday morning I woke up really stiff and sore. I thought it was odd but attributed it to my carb-binge the night before. Except that yesterday AND today I still feel the same! Tuesday I took Tylenol throughout the day and that helped some. But what could be the cause? The pain and stiffness is mostly concentrated up and down my back and along my spine. Not IN the spine, more like the muscles above it, up and down my back. Any doctors in the house, er, hive? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 my vote goes for a virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I thought about that, too, but I don't really have any other symptoms. The only other thing "weird" that happened was abotu 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, I started feeling sweaty when I hadn't been doing anything to make me sweat. But that was the ONLY time I really felt that. Other than that, no other symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigitte Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Virus. That is how mine started. That part lasted about 4 days. Then I ended up getting walking pneumonia, not that you will. But I bet you have a virus and your body is fighting it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Gosh, Brigitte, thanks for the encouraging news. (hear dry humor here) ;) So, I'm on day 3, guess I know what to look for tomorrow!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully what you have will pass without any further complications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I agree with virus. You may want to give your dr a call and just see what they think just in case (ya never know) but I would guess virus. You won't always have other symptoms. Lots of fluids and rest.

scrapbookbuzz Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Okay, well, I've prepared for the worst in that I've cancelled my co-op classes for tomorrow. The question now is, how do I get my own kids to not strangle each other or provoke my wrath while I try to get some rest? Any suggestions? Off to drink some Airborne.

scrapbookbuzz Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Feeling very tired now. If I thought I'd actually sleep, I'd go to bed but I'm not sure that would happen. Last year about this time I was sick, too, but the kids were in ps at the time so it was QUIET. Wonder what I can do to keep them that way now?

scrapbookbuzz Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 So I felt better for an hour or two and now I feel how I did earlier. Ugh. Not looking forward to tomorrow. But I will make my kids do more work than they did today! In fact, it has shown me how much they are lacking in self-initiative. We'll be working on that!

scrapbookbuzz Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just an FYI, Brigette, I'm feeling MUCH better today! (really) :D I took a couple of probiotics yesterday and I think that REALLY helped. Only slightly sore today but nothing else. yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Speaking of that, Jean, I might take some Tylenol today to ease the last of the soreness. Since I didn't take any yesterday, I'll indulge myself today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
