Just back from the dr...

Boys r us wrote: I have been feeling HORRIBLe for a couple of days now. I have had a really bad headache, been very tired and my shoulders and neck hurt really bad, plues a fever today and I feel like my whole body is shaking, except not on the outside..on the inside..yeah I know that doesn't make sense...but anyhow...I went to the dr and he said that I have all of the symptoms of Viral meningitis, but he couldn't say for sure unless he did a spinal tap..UHM NO WAY!!! and after he said that, I happened to mention that there have been 4 confirmed cases of viral meningitis in my office in the last two weeks..so he thinks that's what I have, but since I won't let him do the S.T. he can't gaurantee that. Anyhow, he said it didn't really matter b/c whether it was just a flu virus or viral men there was nothing he could do for me..and his treatment would be the same..lots of rest, plenty of fluids and let it ride it's course.

Of course, where am I? WORK! I know probably pretty stupid of me, but I have so much to do and a very unforgiving company to work for if use too much PTO...so..here I am..suffering through 45 more minutes..

Kaitlin'smom replied: Sorry your feeling bad, hope you can get some rest soon, if you dont take a day or two now you might be out a week. Get some rest ass oon as you can. Hope you feel better soon!

Lollie replied: Sorry to hear that!

Now I agree with sll the other moms....INTO BED YOU GO!!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I'm thinking maybe you should be home and in bed. How you were able to actually go to work feeling like that is amazing. Like the others have said if you don't take the time off now you are going to have to in the long run and maybe longer then a couple of days. I hope whatever it is will run its course quickly. ~~~~~Get Well Vibes~~~~~.

Boys r us replied: Trust me..it isn't pretty! I'm a sight today! Oh well! All I'm doing is sitting here. I had a meeting earlier and now I'm just browing the web trying to keep my mind off of it and sort of look busy! But in 1 minute, my tour of duty is over and trust me, I'm going home and going to bed!

A&A'smommy replied: OH NO that sucks!!! (I actually thought you were going to tell us your were preggo haha) I hope it goes away soon, and I know how you feel about the spinal tap I wouldn't have done it either YUCK.... Get to bed soon and feel better!

My2Beauties replied: OMG You need to get home to bed and quick!

Josie83 replied: Thats awful! But I know a lotof ppl have been v poorly with meningitis, is it not worth having the spinal tap to make sure you don't get REALLT poorly? Would hate to have anything happen to you, you always brighten up the boards (unless its with posts like this obviously . . . ) I hope you feel better soon, keep us posted. Tell your boss you're going to take some time off!! xx

Boys r us replied: I'm alive!! I guess I didn't have the viral meningitis..b/c the dr said it would last 5-10 days if I did. So, I must have just had a 48 hour bug!
I feel pretty good now and I'm crossing my fingers that the rest of the family doesn't get it!!!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I hope that you feel better soon and are able to leave work and get some much needed rest! Take care of yourself and drink plenty of fluids!

Josie83 replied: Glad to hear that you're feeling better, that must have been horrible. Glad to have you back, we've missed u! xx

MommyToAshley replied: Sorry I missed your original post, but glad to hear you are feeling better and that you didn't have spiral men. I wouldn't have had a Spinal Tap done either if there is nothing they could have done.. that's just silly.

Glad you are feeling better!
