I’ve been a bit quieter than planned these last two weeks after being struck down with some horrible winter virus.
I started feeling rough on Tuesday night and the next day I was aching all over and very tired, those symptoms and looking after a toddler are not a great combination. M was at work and couldn’t get away so I just had to take paracetamol and muddle on.
It has been a very strange virus as I still had my appetite, but I ached all over and my temperature was doing very strange things. I woke up on Friday morning freezing cold and promptly took my temperature to discover it was 34 so I phoned the doctor. Before I left I checked my temperature again and it was 33 – according to Dr Google (remind me to never google health related items again), I had hyperthermia! Oh my god! People can die from that, right?
So off to the doctors I went, I think I was a bit of a mystery to the doctor. After an examination and two temperature checks the verdict was that I have a virus. The strange part being that with in twenty minuets my temperature went from 34 – 37.8. I was advised to go home, rest and stay in a warm environment to regulate my temperature and If I didn’t feel any better to go back. At least I didn’t have hyperthermia!
After a few days of resting, plenty of sleep and keeping warm I started to feel a lot better, I am still a little under the weather and I think I might be developing a cold sore which I am far from delighted about. But I am on the mend.
I have had plenty of ideas of things that I have wanted to blog about but haven’t been well enough…
Anyway, enough of my self-pity, I just wanted to let you know I’ll be back up & blogging soon
