Evil Funk strikes again | hippieheart's Blog

I have been ill now for eight days.  For the first three days, I had all of the flu symptoms and spent as much time in a horizontal position as possible.  Then I felt a bit better, as if I only had a head cold.  I was able to get some house work done and take my son out for a little fun-time and even made a run to the grocery store.



Then...WHAM...last night, I was up half the night, unable to breathe...all hot and clammy.  Today I just continued to get worse and worse all day until, finally, by the time my husband made it home early, I was curled up in a fetal position in our son's room, in the rocking chair.  I just couldn't get warm.  I had on wool knee-hi socks, fleece-type pants, a t-shirt with a sweater over it and my vest on top of this.  Even taking the extra step of wrapping myself up with two blankets did nothing.  I was chilled to the bones and just couldn't shake it.



After we got my son down to sleep, I took the hottest bath of my life.  The water was so hot that my skin turned instantly red once I got in.  I soaked as long as I could and then put back on the multi-layers of clothing. 



OMG ~ I have never been this ill and have never been ill for such a long time. 



When will it ever end?
