kimberley wrote: i am so cranky! i want to be better so i can function normally again! my house looks like a few bombs went off here, i feel like i am going to fall down cooking the simplest things like eggs, i can't talk, the pressure in my glands and ears is unbearable at times, i have a constant headache and i haven't slept more than a few hours in a row at all!! my little nursling is going nuts cuz i guess my supply is down, so she is marathon nursing. i am taking in tons of fluids (which means i have to drag my sore and tired bones out of bed every 10 minutes to pee ) but have a really hard time with food cuz it hurts. i am on the verge of going back to the doctor and whacking him on the head because he said 24-48hrs the most before i start feeling better. well, this afternoon makes 48hrs and i feel awful!! he has me on amoxicillin and tylenol 3 times a day. i need some magic remedy! any help?

eta: sorry i am not posting/ replying much but i am thinking of you all!

5littleladies replied: I don't have any magic remedies but I want to offer lots of (((((((HUGS)))))))) and say I hope you feel better soon!!

coasterqueen replied: I wish I had something to make you feel better . I hope you get feeling better real soon!

A&A'smommy replied: awwww I'm sorry your sick! I hope your feeling better soon!!! I'm sending you LOTS of get well vibes!

DansMom replied: Oh Kimberley, that sounds dreadful!! I blame that wicked woman for stressing you out and making you vulnerable to viruses.

Get better soon! Do some positive imaging---imagine yourself playing a shoot-em-up video game where you get to kill off those virus bugs, and imagine each virus bug has that woman's face.

Also, get as much rest as you can.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: OH Kimberley, I hope you feel better soon! try some pepermint tea, that usually helps with a sore throat. Take a hot bath in that Johnson and Johnson Vapour Bath (I know a few pharmacies like Shoppers Drug Mart, have a generic version of this and it's a lot cheaper) and gargle with warm salt water! Feel better soon!

gr33n3y3z replied: Hi kimberley I didnt even know you were sick
I was wondering where you have been
Try gargling ( sp ) with warm salt water 4X a day
I hope you feel better real soon

kimberley replied: thanks for all the well wishes. gargling salt water doesn't work cuz i end up swallowing it it hurts so bad that when anything hits the back of my throat, my gag/swallow reflex kicks in. i have been using lozenges that help for about 10 minutes. i just gotta find a way to get rid of all this mucous now (sorry tmi). the johnson and johnson bath sounds delightful but the mood DH has been in lately, i don't want to ask. i already feel like i am ruining his life by being sick

i have been getting a lot of rest, just not much sleep. poor Jade. we are gonna have to marathon nurse for days to make up for my low supply. feeling a touch better tonight. fingers crossed that i feel "normal" tomorrow.

I haven't been around much the last few days, and I didn't know you were sick. It sounds just aweful, I am so sorry! I hope you are feeling better soon.

Sending some get well vibes your way, along with some P&PT's!

My2Beauties replied: So sorry you're sick hon, sounds like what I had while I was down in Alabama, it went away without meds in abouyt 4 days, I used Triaminic and Tylenol Cold and Flu Sore Throat medicine and it worked wonders, they really do!
