Pain and Fever

Ok, so I woke up last night with a fever of 101.7. When I got up at 8, my temp was 98.6. At 3pm I was back down to 97.1, which is pretty normal for me.

So, the doctors say the sinus meds I've been on probably both allowed and later masked a secondary sinus infection which, when I stopped taking the meds, became painfully evident on top of normal seasonal sinus problems.

What does that mean for me, exactly? Pain in my head which feels as if you put it in a vice. Nausea caused by drainage. General sloshy-headedness. What did they give me? An antibiotic which has the side effect of causing abdominal pain. So now, my stomach feels like it's trying to digest rocks.

So now, I hurt in both my head and stomach. By morning, both should be gone, and I should be back to feeling "normal".

I'm starving. I want to eat, but we dont really have much in the house good for eatin when your stomach doesn't feel so good. And, I'm not sure I want to go anywhere either.

Nala's busy updating a site, and I'm sitting in the dark, silent bedroom typing away. I would've been in class tonight but with all this pain, I probably wouldn't have made it through the presentation.

Oh, a big plate of mashed potatoes sounds so good right now. Boring, bland and yummy.
