Walsingham Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm told that this fever I'm running is common to whole swathes of the country. Who else is down with lurgi? And who else is schlepping into a high tech office which is how they got it in the first place so that they can infect everyone else? 1 "It wasn't lies.

Raithe Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ah, and thus the benefits of working from home are brought into focus... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The hospital ward I work at had some patients with the Calici virus a couple of months ago. Was pretty anxious to go to work but managed to keep from getting sick.

Rosbjerg Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've been pretty sick for a while and apparently I got wiped out by a dirty Japanese air conditioner.. That what I get for living in a cold country. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Most of hubs main client office is down with a cold, including hubby. I think he said there's one healthy person left. No big fevers tho...think it's just cold, not major flu. Hubs staying home/working remotely so he can make sure to infect his wife. “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Fever down, but joints aching all day, and dog tired. Judged my utility to work was nil so stayed at home in bed. Listened to the radio. Luckily BBC radio 4extra seems to be producing the audio equivalent of teddy bears at the moment. Hope I recover soon. I can't afford to be off too much just now. EDIT: Hope your husband doesn't catch whatever this is. Doesn't seem too serious, apart from the shaking. But it has made me very short tempered. Edited April 12, 2012 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

LadyCrimson Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 High fevers are horrid. Glad it's down, hope it stays that way. Also..."audio equivalent of teddy bears" is an awesome phrase. “Things are as they are.

Gorgon Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I get migranes worse than any feevers I've ever had. The up side to those is that they are usually over in a day. Feels like someone scooped out my eyeballs and rolled them gently over synthetic grass, sprinkled the sockets with hotsauce and then plopped them back in. If I don't get my heavy duty painkillers in time I spend the better part of said day leaning against a wall, or shuffling about aimlessly like the walking dead. Even sitting down results in more blood, and pain, transported to my head. My doctor wont prescribe more than 10 at a time because he's worried I'll turn into an adict. That's how badass the pills for that are. It doesn't happen more than once or twice every other month, but I've got the lot of you beat for pain. Just saying.

Walsingham Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Doing that twice a month does indeed sound awful. "It wasn't lies.

LadyCrimson Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) @Gorgon - I think my husband has you beat. No migraines but constant headache - moderate to severe - every day for 25 years. They started around age 21 and he spent his early 20's going to doctors, brain ppl, chiropractors, and acupuncturists trying to figure it out but nothing got rid of them. Now he just OD's on Advil and has learned to live life with them. These days you wouldn't realize he suffers like that ... unless you're his spouse. My grandmother had migraines tho...they were pretty bad, so I know how terrible they can affect a person. I actually function fairly well with even very high fevers, but give me a bad tension headache (the kind that makes you feel nauseous when your head moves) and I'm taking a nap immediately.

Monte Carlo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've got it, been in bed for 2.5 days. Haven't been this sick since I had glandular fever aged 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Fever seemes to have burned it out. Green mucus all day. Bug corpses, so I understand. Pretty tired, but cheery. "It wasn't lies.
