Feeling Sick.

I wanted to blog about symptons today, however I have come down with some type of flu, although I did have a flu shot.  It started with headaches, chills and then vomiting, I am still not up to par.   The problem with getting sick is that after you were sick for years during cancer treatment, the littlest illness plays games with your mind.  I am sick again?  What's happening?  I have to remind myself that it is most likely something normal, just some bug that is making its way around.  I hate the grim reminder I get when being sick, it draws me right back into my treatment days.  I am taking it easy today so that I can get back to normalcy.  Until then ... stay well.

When it began.

Rolling nausea, headaches, fatigue and the pallor of death.   Walking, climbing stairs and getting dressed was becoming a chore. I would shower, lay down, get dressed, lay down and then sleep in our car pool  to and from work.  It was getting worse.  I was getting the shakes and wondering what the heck was happening to me.  I finally took time off work to make a doctors appointment.  My doctor  usually tells you to wait out the virus or cold etc, it takes time, however he seemed genuinely concerned about my appearance.  Perhaps because I was not one to complain or maybe I just looked really bad!   After several tests I was out the door and heading home, tired, really tired.  What was happening to me?  I certainly wasn't myself and I had been starting to drag my butt for the past several months, but maybe I shouldn't have been ignoring the symptoms, maybe there was something more going on.
