Is there anything worse than being sick on top of Fibro?

Yes, I know.

There are probably lots of things that are worse. At the moment, I'm not able to think of any.

Not with my head feeling like it's gonna explode. Mucous flowing from my nose like a water faucet on full blast. Swollen,red eyes. Ears ringing. Throat sore. Pain even higher than usual.  Coughing so hard I think there is a very real possibility that I pulled a muscle or dislocated my rib.

Suffice it to say, I am sick. Not my regular Fibro pain and fatigue and general yuckiness that I manage every day. No, that I've learned to manage pretty well. But starting last night and until now, I am just plain sick and I'm not managing it well.

Took me all day to even get to the point of posting anything on the Fibro blogs, but I want to complete the UBC with posts up EVERYDAY! On the other blog today I just posted an image for people who love someone with Fibro to Smile.

So, I'm here to whine for a few minutes. Because I am actually sick like a ...well like something. Being sick makes all of the Fibro symptoms go into high alert too.

I never thought I'd say it, but I kind of miss the days of getting "super sick" when I was younger, where I drank a bunch of water, someone took care of me, and I got better quickly.

Instead, I have a ton of symptoms (not as many as I listed in the 200+ Fibromyalgia Symptoms List on the other blog yesterday though!).  And have to take care of myself. Man growing up stinks sometimes.

My youngest daughter gave me this particular delightful case of cold, flu, or whatever. At first, I thought it was allergies, but no.  She gave it to me. She also, was ill yesterday (all the same symptoms-not counting my normal Fibro ones of course).

She was better by the time she woke up this morning. I hope I'm better tomorrow! So, I'm off to go sniffle my snot into Kleenex, away from the computer. Before I contaminate it.  Or collapse on it.

Hope you all had great days today. I will be better tomorrow and post something of more value.  I'm POSITIVE that I will be better tomorrow.

Did you all catch that? I managed to put something positive in the post today.  I actually giggled a little when I wrote it (I do realize I'm being a bit grumpy-but I FEEL sick-whine-whine-sniffle-sniffle-whine-whine), but had to stop giggling because it hurt too much.

I may be delirious, but I'm committed to getting my posts up here....
