Last night, I went to bed thinking that I was feeling better. Really, it was just the Advil kicking in. I woke up around 1 am, feeling all achey and warm again. I got up and took my temp - 101.2! I can't remember the last time I had a fever. When I woke up again at my normal time, I was still achey and my temp was somewhere between 101.5 and 102.7, depending on which thermometer I used. Not good! I felt achey, weak and well, like crap!
I decided that I better call the doc to schedule an appointment and let work know that I would not be coming in. Ugh, I hate being sick! When I explained all my symptoms to the dr, she almost immediately suggested a strep test. I have never had strep before. Sure enough, I tested positive and was given a Rx for antibiotics.
We'll see what happens. I just hope I don't give this crap to the Hubby and kids! And to be at home all day and not feel like doing anything productive is just tough. I feel like I should be cleaning or organizing or something...instead, I caught up on episodes of "So You Think You Can Dance." I guess that was semi-productive, huh?

Ugh, I hate strep. Every time the kiddos get it, I get it to, never fails. Hope you feel better soon. It usually only takes about a day after you get the antibiotics.
Aw thanks for the bday wishes :) Hope you feel better soon. Good thing about strep is that is is easily fixed with antibiotics and you should be feeling better in a few days!
Ish Ish Ish!!! I have 2 kids with strep right now and I'm just desperately hoping I don't catch it! Feel better soon:)
