I'm wondering if I should make some chicken soup or something. I'm not really sure how I'm feeling....but I am feeling a little.....depleted. I just don't know if it would make me feel better....or worse.

Arista Milocathe |

My head is pounding, I'm all stopped up and feel like I can't breath, I can't really tell if I'm actually hungry...but I'm desperate to feel like I can breath again.
Chicken noodle soup or no? I'm sorry...I'm not feeling good so I'm really indecisive right now.

Cool. Was training someone for the last couple hours. Got to see the full blood red moon and year I could feel something as well. was pretty cool.Going to lunch now.

Arista Milocathe |

Well....here where it's almost nothing but clouds in the sky we didn't get to see much of anything.
Gotta file down my talons now so I don't accidentally slice myself, or someone else, open anywhere. Since I already gave myself a cool looking facial scar.

Arista Milocathe |

Well...............okay, I don't really have a comeback for that, but Henry knew the first time on Saturday that I wasn't feeling that great. We just didn't realize how bad I felt till Saturday night when I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom and vomit. I haven't run a temp at all though, so I don't know if that's important or not. My nose isn't quite as stopped up, but it's still runny, I'm coughing my head off and it feels like it's going down into my chest or something. I no like it!

Makes sense. Sinus stuff makes Sivan wake up throwing up because it drains down into your throat while you're asleep.

So the two people who've encountered Fae are mindwiped of her existence. Nice.
BTW Cyna good job of pulling off the awkwardness of meeting your parents as a full grown extremely self sufficient adult.
Oh may be off and on. Training someone else on Social Media till 10.

Arista Milocathe |

Yeah...total kudos there Andrew. I thought it was really good too, that's why it made me think that things with Alethiro's family actually weren't that bad....mostly.

Arista Milocathe |

I'm getting ridiculously tired of being freakin' sick all the time. I'm getting sick again and after ONE DAY at work I'm losing my voice. I really really don't wanna have to go back to the doctor and be put on more antibiotics and steroids again, otherwise they might as well just strip me of whatever immune system I have left.
So...in my fight to avoid going to the doctor I am FLOODING myself with all sorts of vitamins and stuff.
I still have prescription cough syrup here, along with the benzonatate that I had from before...so I've taken both of those. Earlier when we got home from eating I took vitamins that I forgot to take this morning...again, which I just filled up my pill boxes with them so hopefully I'll start remembering from now on. I took some prenatal vitamins, extra B12 and vitamine E, as well as some echinacea.
What I'm wondering is if I'm overkilling it? I'm just feeling very frustrated and am at a loss currently as to what to do really that doesn't entail me going back to the dr...again...and getting put back on major medication...again. I can't keep missing work either or, no matter how nice they are they're gonna start thinking they hired a sickly person to do a job that maybe they can't do....and I CAN'T...won't lose this job.
So...ideas anyone? What exactly are my options?

Arista Milocathe |

Oh...plus I have like a billion boxes of tea of which I'm gonna start drinking a cup of something every night too.
Tonight it's a decaf green tea, sleepytime version with Jasmine and Lemon.
The problem with there being so many choices for supplements out there on the market is that you never know which ones you're suppose to take for what and how much is too much. I have no idea what I'm doing and ignorance can be a dangerous thing.

Sādhanā |

Honestly you're doing the best yo could posibly be doing barring anti-biotics. Coupled with rest (I know that's the tough part) You should be good.

Arista Milocathe |

I still need to get the flonase stuff and something called a netty pot or something like that. People keep telling me it would help keep my sinuses a lot clearer, especially since they can't drain properly on their own with all the scar tissue from my brain surgery.

Sādhanā |

A Neti Pot is actually really great for sinus issues. It's a bit wierd and tricky at first but once you start doing it you'll see a huge difference and get sick less often. Especially when the seasons change.

Arista Milocathe |

Okay....I saved that....it's just ever since I had to go to the ENT dr and him shove very unpleasant things up my nose...I've been kinda afraid to do that.
I also have a deviated septum, so I didn't know if that would factor in or not. I'm afraid it'll feel like I'm drowning or something. I know it may sound silly....but I gag really easy and when I've used nasal inhalers before....all they do is make me gag.
You and my sister have both told me that that thing is actually really good though....so, if I don't wanna be on more medication then I guess I'm gonna have to break down and get one.
I think I actually had one, once upon a time....but, I gave it away or something because I never used it and it was taking up space.
I know...total twinkie defense....but it's the best I've got.

Arista Milocathe |

*still feeling a bit apprehensive*
Well...it's gonna have to wait until we have paychecks with fewer things coming out of them anyways.
I still need cough drops pretty bad and my throat is still pretty sore.
Let's see....I need my riccola's cuz halls are gross, peppermints for soothing the soreness, flonase, a neti pot, steril water?....I don't know...my brain is starting to go fuzzy.
Anyways, there's a whole list of things that I need...but I'm gonna do my best to keep remembering my vitamins and all the other stuff I gotta take and see if I can't make it better myself first. If by our next pay day I'm not better then I'll get the other stuff.
Okay?

Arista Milocathe |

OkaY.....I really really really need to try and lay down and go to sleep cuz I have to be up super duper early and I don't even have my clothes out for tomorrow yet.
Feeling this icky really sucks, but it'll suck harder if I don't get some rest.
Night night everybody. Have a good night and to those of you at home, have a peaceful rest.
For those of you who will be going to work soon, have a good day/night whatever at work and be safe.
Mark, hope the rest of your night goes well and be careful going home.
We need to put new windshield wipers on our vehicle too.....damn....oh and the brakes need changing too....so much stuff to remember...
nighty night.

1. I totally knew you were gonna say that....
and 2. I'm at PT, laying on a cold pack with electrical current going through my back after a pretty good work out. They're not quite as bad as the task masters at U Are My Slave.....UAMS......but I'm still wore out.

Arista Milocathe |

I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm really really happy for you bubba. So, which job did you end up with? I was just curious if you were still gonna have to do the whole car thing like you thought you would.

Arista Milocathe |

Oh yeah....after picking up Henry we went to a walmart that was NOT the store he works in since he'd had enough of that place for one day and got a NeilMed Nasaflo Neti Pot thingy, as well as cough drops, the distilled water for the neti pot, and some other small things that we needed.
Here's the thing though, I have to talk to Dr. Moore tomorrow before I use this thing because it says you're not supposed to use it if you have an ear infection or blocked ears.....so, since I've been having trouble hearing, I have to take this pamphlet thingy with me so he knows what I'm talking about and after he looks me over tell me if it's okay to use it or not.
I just don't wanna make things worse than they already are.

Arista Milocathe |

Alrighty, we're calling it a night. Henry and I are exhausted. I'm gonna try really really hard to get more than an hour of sleep tonight. I have to see the doctor at 4pm tomorrow.....hoping for not more antibiotics and steroids since I'd like to have at least something left of my immune system.
Anyways....super sleepy. Time for night night.
Have a great night everyone and Andrew, I just know everything will work out great.
Congrats again Bubba, I'm very happy for you.

Thanks.
I'll have to take the bus until I get a license. Online Banking customer service. Pays better and offers full time benefits.

Arista Milocathe |

Oh bubba that's great! I know I know...I'm supposed to be in bed, but I tried...I really really did.
I just can't breath....like okay, I can breath as long as I'm sitting up like in a chair but it's like as soon as I lay down everything closes up and I can't. Breathing through my mouth agitates my already sore throat and sends me into coughing fits and I don't want to keep boobear awake....I was very quiet and still though until he went to sleep and then I got back out of bed.
I've tried everything I can think of and I can't get my nasal passages clear enough to breath while in bed. I don't know what to do, I'm so so tired.
I can try just laying on the couch like I do when I prop myself up to watch anime on netflix and watch one of my bruce lee movies? I might be able to just fall asleep on the couch, even though I might wake up a bit sore.
I just want to be able to sleep in my bed. Is that too much to ask? At this point I think I'd settle for sleep anywhere.

Sādhanā |

Hope you were able to fall asleep.
Andrew, that's awesome. The full benefits it the best part. I'm so glad for you. Hope public transport is reliable in your area. I'd take the bus there a few times, during the time you'll be headed to work just to get a eel for what kind of delays you may run into.

Arista Milocathe |

Yeah, we're both pretty sick. Henry can barely breath and not really able to finish his sentences. And I barely have any voice. We are both going to see Dr Moore today. I'm fixin' to call the Dr office and make him an appointment for today as well.
I already called into work and he called in earlier. I'm making us both a cup of green tea right now.

Arista Milocathe |

Yeah...I even called Sandy and "talked" to her if you can call that croaking sound I made talking. She kind of laughed, but it was that sympathetic sound that people make sometimes. She was like, "I can't understand anything you're saying, but you sound awful. Just get some rest and feel better." My boss texted me as well and told me that she hopes I feel better soon.
I don't know if anyone can understand what a weight it takes off of me when I know that these are the kinds of people that I work with now. Because when it really counts, they understand.

Arista Milocathe |

oH yeah....after that last post last night I laid down on the couch kinda in a sitting up position and after a little bit I fell asleep. I woke up close to 5am this morning and went and was finally able to lay down in our bed....but still with the stopped up issue.
It'll be alright though cuz Dr Moore will fix us. Lol
