Sorry I have been away from MyLot....

It all started Easter Sunday with My son who had the stomach flu all day throwing up and diarrhea. Then we found out on Easter Monday that he had Tonsillitus as well and so had to look after him all week! :( Last Thursday My husband felt un well and slept from 4:30 in the afternoon until he threw up around 8:30 pm and went right back to bed. He stayed home from work on friday and by late Friday afternoon I was experiencing muscle aches and extreme tiredness. I went to bed at 7pm that night and woke up around 10pm with a headache. I took something for that and went back to bed then had to get up in the morning with my son but felt some better, still not %100. I went to work for 3 that afternoon and made it through my shift and then wasn't too bad on Sunday but had diarrhea around 7pm. Then by Monday at Lunch I was unable to eat very much and only spent three hours at work in the afternoon as pain in my stomach and back had gotten very bad! A doctor told me yesterday afternoon that it was the flu. The pain did subside as the evening went on but then I went to bed at 8pm last night with really bad back pain which is totally gone this morning along with all other symptoms! This to me does not sound like the flu as the symptoms have been off and on for four days now! Sorry I have been away but I hope I am back now!:) I never get sick, so this is unusual for me!! Happy My lotting Everyone and I hope you are all well! If not, you can share your stories on here or any advice you may have or well wishes for anyone who gets involved with this discussion! :) Thanks in advance for any and all responses to this! I am glad to be back!

Oh, i'm so sorry you and your family had to go through all this stress. Nice to have you back on mylot and i hope your son and husband are faring better as well. Maybe you should go back for check up and watch your work schedule incase you're overstressing yourself. you know the body has its own way of reacting to stress (It simply breaks down when you think you need it most!)

Thank-you so much for your care and concern! My son was back to his old self by the week-end once he finished his antibiotics and my Husband only lasted about two days and has been fine since. Mine however has been going on and off for about four days now! I do hope It has finished now! I am off work for the rest of the week so that should help me greatly!

Hope this week is better for you. Things seem to happen in multiples and always at the wrong time.
