Feeling Awful

I feel truly horrible.  Besides the normal thyroid symptoms, I feel really "off", my throat and lungs feel like crud, my digestive system is screaming bloody murder and has been for a couple weeks.  I think the digestive upset is from all the antibiotics I was on for a month for my pelvic inflammatory disease. 

I bought probiotics yesterday and started taking them, hoping that this will alleviate these awful symptoms.  I don't want to move too far away from the bathroom because I just feel so nauseous and crampy.  I hope it's the antibiotics and that there isn't something else going on with me.  I don't need anything else health-wise at the moment.  I have enough on my plate.  Anything else goes wrong I'm going to need to look into disability insurance; this stuff is really interfering in my life. I really can't handle anything else on my plate right now.

I did have my check-up with my doctor on Friday for my PID and my thyroid.  I'll update on the thyroid stuff a little bit later.

Was in the Hospital, Back Home Now

It's been awhile since I've posted.  I got really sick, ended up in the hospital, and then still sick after being released.  It's been a bad few weeks for me.  I've not done much at all - very little housework, some reading, a lot of sleeping and either lazing about on our couch or on our outdoor furniture on our deck in the shade. If the illness wasn't making me feel bad, the medications were.

I'll get into the illness details a bit later (have dinner on the stove now and it's an involved story).  Just wanted to check in and say HI to everybody.  I'm not back up to 100% yet but I'll be back to blogging over the next few days regularly and, of course, mommy duties never stop. 

Talk to everybody soon.  I hope everybody is having a happy and healthy Memorial Day weekend!
