Sick :(

Yesterday I woke up with a scratchy throat and I was tired and kind of had the chills.  I hoped it was all an unusually bad hangover, but I think I'm sick - ugh.  And I came into work because we had a 2 hour delay, but if I didn't come in, I'd have to take 8 hours of sick leave.  If I came in, I only had to work for 2 hours.  I should have still stayed home, but I didn't and I work and hour away, so I'm not heading back now.

Sorry.  Just wanted to whine.

    Thanks everyone!  It also sucks because my job is basically to write, and I feel like I'm totally incoherent when I'm sick.  And I'd really these decisions I'm writing not get appealed lol

    Boo! I'm sorry. I had to stay home from work last Friday with a migraine, and that night was when I got the oil burn on my boob. Today I woke up with a UTI and was late to work because I went to the pharmacy first to get antibiotics. I totally understand wanting to whine! 

    On top of the UTI nonsense, the roads here suck today cuz of more snow, so at lunch I put my head on FI's shoulder and said "I don't feel good and it sucks and I'm cold and I don't wanna go back to work!" (like a 3-yr-old). But sometimes whining helps :P 

    If you can get your hands on a packet of Emergen-C (packets of vitamin powder) those things work like a charm. Also, hot tea for the scratchy throat. I hope you feel better fast!

    UTIs are the worst!!  I'm sorry!!  I wish we could just get OTC meds for it.  I know, I know, it's important to see a doc - but come on, we all know when we have a UTI!

    lol yeah I walked into the doctor's office and didn't even bother with "I feel this way, I have this symptom..." I just said: "I have a UTI." They ran the test anyway, of course, and then she was going over the medication with me and what I needed to do and what I needed to avoid and I just kept nodding. She finally looked at me and said "You already know all this, don't you?" Yup.

    Ugh I hear you! I've had some severe fatigue lately so I stopped by the doctor this morning to get a requisition to get my T4, TSH tested since I have hypothyroidism. And left the doctor with a requisition for test for 5 or 6 different things because he thinks my levels are fine and that its something else.

    Now I have to fast for 12 hours and go get a bazillion vials of blood taken in the morning.

    Not how I wanted to start the week.

    Sorry to hear you're sick! That sucks.

    My face hurts. I have a irritated nerve or whatever means that I need a root canal. I went to the dentist on Friday, but I have to wait two whole weeks before they can get me in for the procedure! So I'm just dealing with low level pain all day. I'm trying not to overdose on ibuprofen in the coming days. Boo teeth.

    UTIs are AWFUL.  We have a trend around here now where, if you've had one before and know the symptoms, several places will do a UTI screening over the phone and they just call in your prescription.  It's pretty awesome, no waiting around cranky, in pain, and in a doctor's office.  Azo and lots of fluids are the only things that help me.  Feel better!

    Yes. I get them enough to say, "DAMNIT" as soon as I experience the first symptom. The best thing my company ever did was allow us to use Teledoc with no copay. I can avoid urgent care or making an appt with my doctor. The last UTI I had, the prescription was in my hand less than an hour after calling and explaining my symptoms. So awesome. 

    OP, hope you're feeling better!

    Thanks everyone!

    I'm feeling a little better.  Not great, but not bad enough to take a sick day.  I'm worried I'll need at least 1 "mental health" sick day sometime in March or April since there are no federal holidays for months after MLK Day
