I will tell ya, I haven’t felt that terrible in a very long time. I am talking about yesterday. 2 nights ago I was up until about 4 am working on a project when I decided to get up and get me a glass of water. By the time I walked downstairs, I had a pounding headache. I took an aspirin and grabbed a bottle of war, a glass with some ice and I was back up to the office. The moment I walked into the offfice and shut the door, I felt like I just had done 15 kegstands. I was out of breathe, my head was pounding and worst of all I was dizzy as hell.

Right then and there I close up my project, shut the door and went downstairs to go to sleep. (L) woke me up the next morning about 10 o’clock. The moment I opened my eyes, I already knew I was in for a long day. You know that catlike morning stretch you do to get all your joints straight? I could not perform this action. It hurt just too much. Not only could I not stretch out because of how much it hurt the joints, whenever I bent my legs, my damn hamstrings and calves would start cramping up. WTF is that all about?

Oh, but it gets worse…

I got out of bed and went right to the kitchen for some meds. As most of you know I already suffer from a sleep deficit disorder so part of the problem could have very well been this. Anyway, popped some aspirin and got another glass of ice water. I sat down at the kitchen table. By this time I notice that the dizziness was accompanied by a queezy feeling. You know the one where you feel hunger, the stomach growls but you dare not eat?

Afternoon rolls by and (L) reminds me that we have a Parent Teach Conference for our oldest in preschool. I go over there and the moment I get inside and set down, I start shivering. Not just a little shiver, my teeth are chattering. I am already wearing a coat, my kids are not and I am shivering. Right then I knew something was wrong.

We walk across the street back to the house. The moment I get inside, I realize I have not worked much today and have a lot of stuff completely tore open. I run upstairs and sit down and I can’t even tell what is on the monitor. I am dizzy, out of breath and I just feel like shit. I am still shivering so I grab a portable heater from the closet and plug it in. It’s 5:20 pm and I lay down right there on the office floor. I don’t even have it in me to go downstairs and sleep. The moment I lay down, I am out.

I wake up at 9:20 pm off the floor. Everything is the same, I manage to get downstairs but this time I take two drinks of water and I am done. I don’t even want water. I go in the room with (L) and of course she wants to know how I am feeling. I answer politely as I can “Like shit”. I lay down yet again, and when I wake up it’s 8:15 am this morning. I don’t hardly remember anything from throughout the night, so I must have slept like a baby.

It’s 9:31 am now, I have drank over 2 bottles of water this morning and I feel like a million bucks. My joints don’t even hurt. The headache, fatigue and dizziness is all gone. Thank god because I am totally behind now. As always :)
