More whining.

[valis2]

Last night has to rank in the Top Five Most Awful Nights. Not only did I have coughing issues, but I've apparently sprained my neck and lower back with coughing. Also, my hip and calf hurt too. Not certain if this means what I have is "viral" or if it's just because it's so close to that time of the month.

The hip/calf thing has died down, as well as the back issue, but my neck is still killing me, and I have a show to do tomorrow. grah! As far as Known Neck Pain goes, this rated an 8.5 while in bed (almost unable to turn over/get out of bed/move without pain) and about a 7 now. Out of 10. It's starting to fade a little. I'll keep moving my head and stretching, just a little at a time, and hope that it gets better and that I'm able to sleep tonight. Husband has offered to drive to the show separately tomorrow and help me set up, but I hate to have him do that as it's two hours away and he has massive schoolwork to do.

I think I'm going to spend at least part of today on the couch with a heating pad. *nodnod*

Tonight I'll reveal the answer to the Spot the Frog game! I know you are all anxiously awaiting that.

Okay, enough whining for now.

Poor thing! Get well soon.

I say six froggies but I may be mistaken and counted a leaf or a stone.

Aw, thanks, sweetie! *hugs*

Noted: guess for 6 frogs. :)

Gosh, me too. I hate whining so much. Grah!

Ack! The middle of the night coughing! Yes, yes, yes, I feel your pain hon', I really do. Just got over it. Why does it always have to be in the middle of the night? I kept a bottle of water by the bed each night for 3 1/2 wks. to get me through. Since Mucinex doesn't work for you, what about Robitussin DM for night time? At least it'll quiet your cough for awhile. I took that at night a lot since the Mucinex makes me jumpy.
That crud really does suck. Hang in there!

That's what G bought for me, Robitussin. I wish it worked for longer than 4 hours, though, because I had to get up and take it again in the middle of the night.

I feel pretty sick, but fortunately, I think the muscle stiffness is going down a little. I mean, I can actually move my head now. I just hope I can get through tomorrow. Thank goodness it's just one of my shows, and the bins aren't that heavy, because otherwise I don't know what I'd do. :(

neck pain and cold symptoms could = meningitis- do get checked- asap

I did see the doctor yesterday, and it didn't seem to be a concern--at least he didn't mention anything about that. And I don't seem to have any of the other symptoms.

Plus, this neck thing is something I get from time to time. I'll watch out for the other symptoms, though, just in case. *nodnod*

Oh, ouch. I hope the heating pad has helped. Look after yourself.

Yeah, I'm trying, but I'm getting leery of the show tomorrow. I hope I can make it through. 5 hours of driving and 7 hours of show. eep!

Prescription: Drugs, alcohol, sleeping.

Yeah, I finally ended up with ibuprofen and Theraflu and antibiotics, but it didn't help much. Off to the show...

[idleleaves.livejournal.com]

Urgh, urgh, and urgh. That's beyond miserable. Hope at least the show goes really well to make up for the pain of having to sit through it.

Thank you, sweetie! *om nom nom*

You're so kind.
