ongoing sickness

September 21, 2005   

I can’t seem to focus very well today. My head feels like it’s enshrouded in a fog. My hearing feels muffled. My eyes feel like they are going out of focus on their own. The coughing and sneezing is down to a minimum. The aches are far less, but I feel constantly out of breath and weak. I’m having less trouble with the hot/cold fluctuations I was having the last few days, but I am still breaking out in random sweats and chills during the day, albeit less pronounced then before.

I tried to have a couple of work discussions today and they all went nowhere. It was obvious to my coworkers that I am having trouble concentrating and they all thought I should go home. I almost went home this morning, but I went in anyway because I was already closer to work by the time I seriously started going back home.

I’ve just taken some pain reducer/fever reliever, so I am going to sit around a little for it to kick in (which will hopefully mean lessened dizziness, which is the thing that worries me the most), then get to Seppo’s work so we can go home. I feel bad about making him leave so early, but I’m really close to literally crawling under my desk and putting my head down on the floor with my hands over my ears (when not sounding muffled, people talking around me is making me dizzy).

Codeine. May not solve your problems, but at least you feel good… or nothing at all. Yummy!

Good luck dealing. I’m still there; and have even gone so far as to order an air purifier (with an expensive HEPA filter) in the hope that it will somehow help with my breathing.

I don’t know what the heck is going on, but I’ve got the same symptoms, minus the cough. Someone got us sick, dammit. – Becky

How are you west coasters sick all the time? You don’t even have a propper winter!

^ Is that anything like the story of “Prince and the Propper?”
