bookofmirrorsSuffice it to say, I went to work for a few hours, and kept checking my temperature, which climbed steadily as the day went on. When it hit 101.3, I left to go to the doctor. Sadly, I don't feel all that bad, and could have kept working, but at that temp, I really thought I was being irresponsible, both to myself and to my co-workers and clients.
He said I have pnuemonitis, which could have gone into pnuemonia had I not come in. He put me on some pretty high doses of some pretty strong antibiotics (Keflex 500mg 3x/day), plus some Diflucan (I already have a yeast infection, so the antibx are just gonna make it worse), and more asthma medication. Really, other than the achiness and the tiredness, the only symptom I'm really having is not being able to breathe. Pesky thing, that.
Anyway, while I was there, somehow the subject of CFS and fibromyalgia came up. Not in connection with me... I don't remember how we happened upon that subject. Anyway, he said new research says that they're actually related to one of the lesser-known herpes viruses, although in his experience, his patients don't want to hear that. Not that I blame them. Anyway, I know some of the people on my list have those conditions, so I thought I'd post that as a public service announcement, as it were. I did Google it, and found this article, which seemed to support that. I imagine anyone with that would want to do more extensive research, of course.
Anyway, I am tired, I am cold, and I am going to bed now.
