Sick of the sick.

Here we go again!
husband got sick on 7/13 and finally went back to work on Monday this week. He had a nasty flu bug and I was SOOOO CAREFUL while I was taking care of him! I washed my hands constantly! I was uber-conscientious about germs! True, I did sleep in the same bed with him, but I figured that if I hadn't caught after the first 7 days I wasn't going to.

Monday I started getting what felt like asthma symptoms -- my lungs actually felt itchy! Then it turned into a dry cough. So I took some antihistamine and a puff off difficult child 1's Advair. Felt a bit better that day. Repeated that treatment Tuesday, but didn't have quite as good a result and the cough was a bit worse. Yesterday had to drive difficult child 1 100 miles each way to camp and by the time I got home, I was exhausted and coughing my head off.

Now the cough's getting worse and I am wiped out (only took OTC cough syrup last night). No fever to speak of, though. I don't think this is allergies now.

When is this nonsense going to END?

When you find out, let me know. I'm on a second round of antibiotics for a bladder infection. Side effects of this antibiotic are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The nausea is passing, I didn't vomit, but side effect #3 has arrived with a vengeance. I'd almost rather have the bladder infection.

Sometimes, the side effects are worse than what they're treating.

Get better, the two of you! Rattling beads tonight for you both.

I hope you two start feeling better soon!

gvc I hope it's not the bug I caught last winter. That one was nasty, nasty, nasty.

Ugh, Mary, you're not having much fun either. :(

My skin hurts. Coughing a lot so throat hurts. Head hurts. I feel like I'm moving under water. No fever still.

Yuck.

If it is the same thing husband had, it's definitely affecting me very differently.
