Hi there,
Well, I got over the strep but ended up catching a virus that put me in bed for 3 days. I did visit the doctor to make sure it wasn't strep again-I did have white spots-but it was negative. Spots are due to chronic sore throats and will most likely continue. Doc says to try gargling with mouthwash and/or salt water. I already use mouthwash 2x/day so I will add the salt water too.
After some more resting over the holiday weekend, I finally feel better. I went swimming yesterday-which I made myself finish. I feel weak/tired so much faster. But, I finished. Back on the elliptical this morning.
I still have the sore throat and bone pain (mostly in my legs/ribs) but overall, feel good. Hopefully, that will continue for a while. I hate the up and down-but am thankful for the ups :)
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Take care,
Kat

Journey Continues
Hi everyone,
Thanks for reading. I ended up going to the doctor after my last post. I went in for the lung pain but ended up leaving with an antibiotic prescription for strep! Crazy! My lung pain continues-but the x-ray was clear. Doctor believes that the pain that I have in my bones is now affecting the area around my rib cage-giving me pain. So again, we put up with the pain.....
I have been extremely tired this week. By the time half the work day is done, I want to go home. And, that is not like me at all (somewhat of a workaholic but-working on it-smile). There are just some days where I just get so mad about my body-and everything that it feels. The bone pain, fatigue that is not alleviated by sleep, sore throats, lung pain, fevers.....I just want to scream and let it all out. I miss the days of feeling good, when my jaw doesn't hurt, when I don't have the chills because I feel cold but am warm/hot to the touch. Ugh! Just having one of those weeks. Thanks for listening.
I currently have no infection that I am aware of. Although my throat is still sore. But, this week, I started to get cuts on my face. Nice, huh. Add to the drama that I love so much-Not! Anyway, I assume my face is either super dry or it's a vitamin deficiency. Either way, I guess we'll see how long they take to heal-it will seem like forever.
Hope your are doing well. Take care of yourselves.
