Plague Update #2

I awoke at 45 minutes after noon today to find my throat a dry, scratchy mess. This, along with my GI upset, headache, severe congestion, joint pain and irritability, makes today the worst day in the latest episode of biological turmoil.

So because today is mother’s day, there are 21 other people in my house (half of whom are related to me but I don’t know them) where I would prefer not have another soul in the area. The upside is that we will have brunch leftovers for the next week and a half and that should provided enough fuel for my nightly coding and writing fests. I must confess that I’m not hungry for anything but relief right now.

I hope to get an appointment with the doctor as soon as I can manage (hopefully on the morrow) so that I can have an exam and maybe even some blood-work done in order to get a handle on what’s been keeping me down every two weeks.

I’ve ruled out most environmental causes by cleaning out my room and changing my diet. If it was allergies, then it wouldn’t produce the GI upset and the occasional fever. If it was mono then it wouldn’t be episodic like this. Wierd eh?
