I've had headaches, a sore throat, and have been sleeping my butt off for about a week. Is there anything going around, should I bother going to the doctor? I just jerked back to reality and wiped drool off my giant desk calendar :(

You can add nausea and no appetite to that list. I've been turning down Girl Scout Thin Mints. Thin Mints! What's wrong with me?!

Allergies? Sinus issues? Vitamin deficiency? Mono? Lymes?

Allergies don't usually make me feel like this. I'm starting to think the longer this goes on I really should just get in to the doctor.

Strep is going around and can be very bad if left untreated....if it has been more than a week I would see a doctor if I were you....

Could be that stomach bug that has been going around too :shrug: Might wanna see the doc if you don't start feeling better soon.

:yeahthat: Seen so much of that in the last month. I've been lucky, it only lasted a day with me.

No, I mentioned that to my mom and have had that before. It was REALLY bad. I left a washcloth in my mouth so I wouldn't have to swallow. I switched back and forth between that and dangling over the trashcan half asleep. I didn't even want to swallow the drugs they gave me when I had that. Ugh.

Thanks guys, I'm going home early to crash. I'm sure I'll be fine with enough rest.

you could have mono that is how I was when I had it. A blood test will confirm it though.

Maybe that's all it is; you're just over-tired; borderline exhaustion. That can tend to make you feel lousy, then you start felling ill. In this case, a good "crash" won't hurt.

That's a thought, too, but back when I had it I had trouble sleeping because my throat was so bad...I'm sure that doesn't apply to everyone though :shrug:

What did your mom tell you to do? I would listen to her.

I hope you feel better soon. :flowers:
