Terabith Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My temp is over 100 after ibuprofen. My head hurts. My throat hurts. My eyeballs hurt. I'm weak and tired. And supposed to leave for eclipse on Sunday. Husband and daughter also sick, though their few days further into it and seem to be recovering. I don't want to spread germs, and all I feel like doing is laying in bed. I wish I had a mommy to take care of me and tell me I'll be better in time to do all the stuff we have planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Stay in bed! Hang on...the eclipse isn't this coming Monday the 14th. It's next Monday, the 21st. Or are you leaving super early for some reason? Stay in bed and don't go running around. Let yourself recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 We are leaving super early to try to beat traffic and do St. Louis stufff before crowds hit. But I honestly don't feel up to traveling at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Actually, at this point I feel bad enough to want my mother in law to take me home and put me to bed at her house. Which is pretty bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2samlibby Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Take some extra Vitamin D3 & C. Get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids. Hopefully, you'll be better by Sunday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Now the house feels like a boat and I'm faintly seasick and dizzy. My skin and head are too tight. My head is pounding. Don't suppose anyone wants to shoot me and get me out of misery? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Oh man, you can't catch a break! I'm so sorry you're sick again. I hope it passes quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Peppermint tea for during the day. a sleepy-time blend (chamomile, passionflower, valerian, hops, some combination thereof) will help you sleep at night so your body can work on healing. Also, as long as you're not sensitive to silver, colloidal silver will really help. It is microbial and you can ingest it. If you take a spoonful or two of it, just make sure to follow up with a probiotic about 30 minutes afterwards. Just some suggestions of what have helped us in the past. The KEY things, though, are really fluids (non-caffeinated) and REST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Oh dear. My DH, who never gets sick, seems to have what you have. He's miserable. He hasn't been out of bed all day. I was worried about his neck, too. Feel better soon. Edited August 11, 2017 by Spryte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 I just hit 102.5. I'm not sure I'm going to be well enough to travel on Sunday. I want to cry. The doctor this morning said viral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Aw, don't give up yet. I just talked to my adult dd, who said she was hit suddenly on Monday by a flu-like sickness. She stayed in bed Monday and Tuesday, and off and on Wed. and Thurs., but felt well enough to go to work today (12 hr. nursing shift!), and actually felt good all day. So maybe it'll be gone quickly. I'm sorry you feel bad. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stibalfamily Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 :( Feel better and rest. I wouldn't worry about the eclipse, since it doesn't look like that's in your cards right now. Focus on getting better. If you can have someone pick you up some elderberry syrup I would send them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy in Richmond Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sending wishes that you feel better soon! My husband has the same thing, and it's just misery. He came down with it suddenly on Tuesday, and is finally feeling a bit better & eating again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Fever is down to 99.5, though it's still early. I feel a bit better as long as I stay horizontal. Super weak though. Feel some better but still pretty sick. Hoping I'll feel better as day goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 We are going to put off leaving for our trip by a day. Hopefully that will be enough to recover. I slept pretty much all day yesterday, and temperature has stayed under a hundred. Feel better but still pretty sick and bizarrely dizzy. Hoping I'll be good to leave Monday. Sigh. I've been looking forward to this trip for a long time, but I don't want to get our friends sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Glad to hear that you could delay your trip by a day! Hopefully you'll be up to the trip tomorrow. :) Dh is still resting at home today in hopes of making it back to work tomorrow. Oh the dizziness...that is truly the bizarre part of this flu. That and the constant cycling of chills and sweats. I can't wait for both of you to feel better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm exhausted but I can't sleep. I'm dizzy. My throat is scratchy and my glands are swollen but I'm determined to leave tomorrow. I'm so tired and bored of resting, and I haven't had much of a fever since noonish yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
