Poor Kelly, I am so sorry the flu bug came in and bit you.
Please have the kitties help chase it away.
I hope you are feeling better very soon. ((HUGS))
You were very strong and brave to go ahead with your test.
Aly, I hope everything is okay with you now.
Oh no, Kelly I am so sorry you have to be feeling so terrible! I hope you get well soon.
Get to feeling better soon, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Are you OK??? :( I'm worried about you...
Thanks guys. :)
I'm feeling a little better now. I slept in till 1:00, it was my first Saturday off in 3 weeks, very timely.
David made me waffles for breakfast/lunch today and I was able to eat one and even drink some orange juice. My tummy hurts, but that's kind of normal for me. ;)
Gosh, everyone's experience with the flu sounds horrible! Especially for DJFyrewolf36. :(
A good thing..hee hee..is that my new doctor is super cute and super nice...at least I get to see something beautiful while I feel like crap. ;)
I'm sorry to hear about your illness!
Get well soon. I know your wonderful husband and cat family will nurse you to full health soon, but you'd better see your cute doctor once or twice again, just to be sure, right? ;) :)
Oh you poor, poor thing! :( I'm so sorry you're not feeling quite up to par. I had the flu so bad a couple years back that I actually threw up in the car... not fun!
The BRAT diet works pretty good, unfortunately because I've had so many problems with my tummy since i had typhoid in high school, I can't even LOOK at a banana any more! :rolleyes: My rice is still my staple! :D Do you drink tea? It can really soothing and shouldn't irritate your tummy too much. My gf and I just found a new tea and it's fabulous! It's Celestial Seasonings brand, and it's called Madagascar Vanilla Red. It smells divine and is really good with sugar and milk or cream. It was all I could stomach a couple weeks ago when my tummy was acting up yet again. Blah...
If Aspirin bothers you, I'd suggest you don't take it. Stick to Tylenol if you have to take something. I can't take aspirin either, messes up my tummy and my heart. Not good. :(
Just take it easy and get lots and lots of rest! Feel better soon!
Kelly, sorry to hear you are sick. :( Glad to read that you felt a little better yesterday.
Hugs

Kelly, I'm sorry you have been so sick ... but glad that it sounds like you are starting to feel better. Why do you take aspirin? Ibuprofen is the best drug for reducing fever! You can also take it along with Tylenol (acetaminophen) to help with pain as well. Aspirin and high fever combined can have very serious side effects .... Reye's Syndrome ... mostly in young kids, but I wouldn't chance it. Plus, aspirin is well known for stomach upset, and with IBS you certainly shouldn't take that!
Of course, I now have to take a baby aspirin daily for my heart because of diabetes .... but my drug for pain, fever, etc... is always Ibuprofen (Motrin, if brand name).
;)
ACK! I have crohn's, not IBS.... ;)Quote:

I just was used to taking aspirin from when I was young I guess. When I went to the doctor, I was repremanded and told to take Tylenol. It works pretty well. :)
I felt good enough today to take Livvy on a walk and reorangize her cage. Of course, I don't want to eat or anything, but that'll come back eventually.
Thanks everyone for being so sweet. I just wanted to vent. I was so annoyed that no one at work cared I'm still coming in with the flu I just had to "scream" on here.
Oh Kelly you poor kid!! The minute you started describing your symptoms, I figured it was the flu. Trying to sleep with a high temp IS no fun!! I should know, I do it every night. Only it's not a high temp, it's call Meno-Freakin-Pause!!!!!
Fell better soon honey!! Make David pamper you!
(((hugs))))
Funny one Donna! I went to a little birthday party today for my DIL's mom - we are about that age. Heard two more descriptions: "my own personal summers" and "power surges"- me I say I am still a hot babe - just comes in flashes!:rolleyes:Quote:

Kelly, I'm sorry I missed this thread earlier but I'm glad to hear that you're finally starting to feel better.:)
You need to get yourself well and stay well because the LA Barbeque will be here before you know it. Please take care.:)
