PamelaA Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Mary Beth, I am adding my prayers for a speedy recovery. Having pain and feeling crummy is certainly no fun. So here are some (((((HUGS))))) to go with the prayers. Don't forget to drink lots of liquids. I also think chocolate is helpful but am not sure that the medical profession agrees with me.

Linda G. Craig Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Mary Beth, I hope this Get Well message finds you feeling better. Yes, it's much too quiet around here when you're not feeling well. Being sick is a real pain in the neck -- oops, sorry..........(did I make you smile??) Take care and get well soon! Prayers always......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 MB - hope you are starting to feel better. As to the shot - often, it takes more than one - the reason they often warm patients that a series of 3 might be necessary - don't give up!

LindaFritchen Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 MB, You know you don't have time to be sick...so hurry and get better! (Really take care, play it for all it's worth, and let dear hubby do it all for you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrystitcher Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 MB, wishing you a speedy recovery -- the cold and the neck. It is no fun to be down and out....believe me, this summer has been lost for me with my foot issue. "We don't know what we got till it's gone", I believe that's a Joni Mitchell hit -- dating myself aren't I? Take care and get better soon.

Mary Beth Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I just got back home from seeing my doctor. He gave me an antibiotic, said to go home, rest, take the drugs till they are gone and if I still have this mess, go get it refilled. I still have a perscription cough syrup left over from last year when I did this, so I am suppose to take that too...but it makes me loopy, so only take it at night. I'm sure once the antibiotic kicks in I will be up an at 'em again. Thank you all for your well wishes.

Renae Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Take care of yourself Mary Beth. I'm keeping you in my prayers and hoping for a speedy recovery and maybe the Dr. can get your neck feeling better too. I hate to hear how bad you are hurting. Hope the Dr. can help you soon. Sending hugs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've been eating chicken noodle soup till I feel like I have noodles coming out my ears. Actually, that is the only thing that taste good. DH fixed dinner last night, oven baked chicken, stove top stuffing, and fried potatoes...can we say starch was everywhere , of course he thought it was wonderful, I thought it didn't have flavor. I'm sure it's the upper resepritory infection talking Judi, you are right...too much thinking...you girls need to wait until my head is not foggy to get into these kind of discussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm on my way back up...it is coming in waves. I feel terrible when I get up in the mornings and usually cannot sleep through the night. Then I start feeling better about now...then evening comes and I start feeling bad again. I'm going back to work tomorrow so just trying to rest today. Thank you all so much for thinking of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 MB, glad you are seeing an end to thiat junk. I know how miserable URI's are. Get some Musinex, the one in the green box, and take that along with the other stuff. It's a miracle worker! That stuff will break up so fast you'll be amazed. It's expensive , but worth it. I had another infusion last Friday and it really threw me for a loop, they add a jolt of steroids to it and I bounced off the walls for the first 4 days. Couldn't focus on anything, or get my thoughts together., and forget about sleeping. I finally crashed yesterday, slept all day, and slept well last night, so I'm normal again this morning. Not feeling good really messes with your routine, huh? Ice cream castles in the air - Joni Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yes, I think "Ice Cream Castles in the Air" may be the one I am thinking of I'm glad to hear you are over the effects of the steroids. I had this mess for 9 days before I went to the doctor, so he thought I was past the steroid level and went straight for the other stuff. I think today is the day, going back to work. Still have a bit of a headache, but I did sleep all night....the first time in over a week. My voice is almost all the way back, but after talking on the phone all day...who knows. Hopefully, I will feel better getting back to my routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrystitcher Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Mary Beth, you're getting better - the sense of humor is coming back. It's great to know I'm in the company of 60's hippie children...I was at the tail end of it all, but remember it well. Some of the fabrics now remind me so much of a couple of wild flower dresses I had in 1969!! What goes around comes around for sure! You gals have a good day --- I'm off for a week's vacation, a working vacation at home, but not at the office. I'll have a lot to catch up on in a week. I'm not touching a computer again until I come back to work!! Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Mary Beth, Glad to hear you are feeling much better. Sorry you were not up to par recently. You need to take better care of yourself -- more dark chocolate and a glass of wine before bedtime will make you much better. It's a proven fact!! Really it is.... trust me..... try it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Oh Darlene, I hate wine...it is like medication, all I taste is alcohol. Now chocolate...that is a different story...I could eat a truck load...but then, I don't think that would make me feel good I am at work today, but wish I was home in my jammies When I was going to the gym on a regular basis and eating right....I felt so much better. I have been inspired lately to get back on track. Thank you guys for all the remedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Mary Beth, I am glad that you are starting to feel better. You still need to take it easy though. Hope you bounce back soon. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
