Idiot. I'm sitting here in a WAH status pouring through a horrible EEO case and ... I'm not doing well. So I'm beating myself up for being tired for no reason, lacking focus, wanting to snack, game, email, anything but work...when I remember that I'm sick. Oh yeah.

Just because I can sit up for over an hour at a time and the puffer-fish is no longer swelling up in my nasal cavities does not mean I'm 100%. Next I'll be thinking that the pseudophedrine is no reason not to visit the gym. Dumb. Not-horribly-sick isn't the same thing as well. Sit down, lay down, take the time off if you need to you idiot.

But it's so annoying to have to rest because the flesh is weak!

sorry you aren't feeling well!

hey, if you don't want to go to the gym, look at kettlebells! i am so getting a pair of these and getting a video or two. They look so fun!

If they're fun you're doing it wrong! In each and every workout should come a point where you wish you were dead - where death itself is preferable to doing another set...

Wow that testosterone...

Just a bit of (probably unwanted and not needed) advice, but go have an allergy test done. I was sick in much the same way you've been writing about from December-March. Turns out I have many allergies I never knew I had, all of them involving being inside my house. I'm still not at 100% with the treatment I've chosen, but now I can name the illness and work to try to fix it.

I had an allergy test done - nothing except a minor mold/mildew allergy. Perhaps I should get it redone?

How long ago did you have it done? Was it a full panel? If it wasn't too long ago (like less than a year?) then it probably won't make sense to have it done again. Ask your GP about what could be doing this to you.

When I started, I thought it was the flu as my littlest one had come down with it. He got better, I didn't. The next route was to see if there was a sinus infection, and after a CT all I found out was I have very narrow sinus passages, bit no sign of infection. It was noted that the smallest bit of irritation did close off the passages that I needed to breathe, so allergy tests were the next step. I still have issues with my sinus' that I'm sure will never be better unless I move, but that's just my spin on my health situation :)

I'm not your doctor, I see similarities between what I went through and what you seem to be going through now. Talk to your doctor, don't waste months feeling like shit and missing out on the fun stuff. Life is too short.

**Edited because I'm a distracted mom who's brains are slowly turning to dust. I'm allergic to dust...sigh. Ooo! Coffee!

I also was told I had tiny nosey holes, but did a full allergy test. That was over a year ago - could do again. Might be worth it just to check.

Maybe I don't imbibe enough liquor.

Perhaps that's my problem, too. Maybe I need to fix that, but you know what? Lol guess who's allergic to red wine? It's like every time I try something I haven't had in a while I have a bad reaction to it. Yay getting older!
