First off Happy Holidays Everyone. I have not been around much because since Sunday night, I have been sick as a dog. I have literally been confined to bed for the last three days. (I haven't even been on here, you know I must be sick.) I didn't feel well Sunday afternoon after my shift at the restaurant so I went to sleep. Monday I felt better and Tuesday I went into work but I got sick again and went home. This is like so unusual for me, I'm rarely sick. I started losing my energy badly and I got very dehydrated. Since Tuesday night, I have drank four gallons of gatorade and I am still dehdrated, dizzy, bloated and no energy whatsoever. I also started feeling my left leg tingling alot and also some tingling in the upper left side of my back. I went to the Doctor Wednesday morning and was diagnosed with the flu, but I haven't vomited once. He said the tingling was because of a lack of potassium since I haven't eaten for a few days. They say there are many strains of the flu right now. Yesterday, I walked around a little more and actually ate some light foods and felt better, not as much tingling but still so tired, I feel like I'm out of it. I have never slept so much.
'Bout an hour ago, I woke up again and that tingling in my back is now like a throbbing pain and its very uncomfortable. At first, I thought I slept on it funny which I've done before many times, but its not going away very much and its got me worried a little. Is this normal for the flu, I know many of you have been sick with it this year.
Again, I can honestly say, I have not been this sick in a long time. Damn its frustrating and I am just so uncomfortable. BTW, I do have family five minutes away so I am getting some help from them so I'm not alone down here. I wish I was feeling better, this is frustrating.
