Sick

[Guest guest]

I've had exactly the same thing over the holidays. Mine was put down

to voice strain, which I do think played a big part in things, but then I got

a cold and after a week my throat actually hurt. Went back to the drs and

they gave me antibiotics. Don't think they helped and I'm only just starting

to get my voice back now. As says, it feels like a whole load of gunk

in your throat. When the doctor checked mine out he said I had lots of mucus

there. My cold had gone by then too. In fact that is the problem I still

have, no cold or chest problems, just a blocked throat, so maybe my voice

strain was a little more than voice strain. Anyway, it's back to work for me

today so my voice is going to have to be OK.

Yup. Strep has been going around. One of Liam's aids in school, the bus

matron and one of his OTs had it bad. Liam brought home a nasty flu bug

just before Christmas. Yuck.

, Did they culture it? Liam had a nasty one in October and the culture

showed a staph infection and the flu. I was happy they did, because they

prescribed a sulfur drug that knocked it right out. Beats trying multiple

antibiotics. He's been free of the green stuff for 2 1/2 months now. A new

record for the winter.

Well found a very loose tooth causing gum redness and pulled it but still having

sore throat. He is tired all the time. I plan to take him back in this coming

week. he is making me very nervous with this tiredness.

I'd have him checked out tomorrow! Be pushy if you have to and dont' take no

for an answer. It's funny you mentioned the lose tooth. went to the

doctor on Friday and after he went back to the waiting room, she called him back

to look at his teeth. She wanted to check his gums and teeth.

He has another sinus infection. Tim's been sick with what appears to be the

flu..has had it for 2 weeks. He had the flu shot. He has a cough, complains of

being achey and is a real PITA right now. is complaining of a sore

throat and tried to see the doctor but they told her it was only a virus. She

is skiing right now, but if she is still sick when she gets home, they WILL see

her before she goes back to TECH this weekend. says it feels like a

bunch of gunk is stuck in her throat.

I thought I was coming down with something, but I think it's going to pass. TJ

and Katey aren't complaining of anything right now.

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to let everyone know that is in the hospital. She

started out with stuffy nose, cough, and I thought maybe a sore throat

because every time she coughed , she cried. She ended up having viral

pnemonia. And my gosh I do not even know how to spell that. But I think we

caught this early enough that her hospital stay should be 3-7 days. She was

such of a trooper when they were trying to find veins to put i.v. in. They

ended up putting it in her head. But after they got that going she really

perked up. She was looking at her hands when I left the hospital. Well, I

gotta go,

Joyce,

I'm sure she'll be much better very soon. I Can imagine how scarey it is for

you. I just wanted you to know that the first winter was the worst health

wise for my son and a lot of other babies I know and they get through it just

fine. Of course I have some extra gray hairs from it. His first winter he

had 2 bouts of RSV and a really bad stomach flu that almost hospitalized him

because of dehydration. Just hang in there. Let us know how she is.

Jeannette,

This past summer my son had a horrible sore throat that lasted for at least

two weeks and he felt very tired & sick all over. It was finally decided that he

had Mono. You might want to have him tested for that. (BTW, his blood test for

Mono was negative, but the test for the antibodies was positive, they made the

diagnosis from that.)

Also, if he's been on antibiotics recently, it could be a yeast infection in

his throat. They are also very painful.

I hope he feels better soon.

Hi

My son 14 has had the sore throat virus for 2 weeks. The doctors said its a

virus no meds. He has lost about 10lbs. Down to 85lbs and still will not eat

anything harder then creamed mashed potatos. I am feeding him baby food meats

mixed into his applesauce. Any lumps are not excepted. I have been trying to

see if it is habit at this point or still sore throat..............

[Guest guest]

Hi

Went back to the doctor again today about sons sore throat. He checked him

over again and felt that it was his reflux. Hmmmm sounds strange that the

reflux would occur after the sore throat virus but hey stranger things have

been known to happen he had no concern with the headache that he has had on

and off with this virus. I am supposed to get him to eat(yeah right) and also

have him take reflux meds again and call him in a week.

I'll assume that he's been tested for strep? Not only is a sore throat a

sympton of strep, but so is a headache (I have a friend who's daughter would

just get a headache an no sore throat) and even if he was tested a couple of

weeks ago, I do hope that they retested today.

Anyway hope he's feeling better soon.

I just got home at 1:00 am. I am so tired of being at hospital. I had to

come home and do a few things. Nikki was getting better. They got the

phenomia gone, but now she has bronchiallituse. Not too good at spelling

these names. But they had to up her oxygen. So, she is still far from coming

home. She is being so good. She sure hates it when they run the tube down

her to get all the uckies out. She had a 100 temp. when I left tonight. I

just called my husband to see how she is doing and she was still awake. She

still nurses and refuses a bottle. So, I am pretty much stuck with being

with her most of the time. This is all for now. More later,

Joyce, mom to Nikki 4 1/2 months

Joyce - I am so sorry to hear that little is in the hospital. Jimmy

ended up needing an IV in his head when he was little, too.......they taped a

half of a plastic cup over it so that he wouldn't pull it out, and we joked

that it was the worst hat we'd ever seen!! I hope that she is feeling better

soon - hospital stays are so taxing on everyone.

One thing we did for Jimmy while he was in the hospital was got a small tape

player (boom box type) and played music tapes for him. He really seemed to

enjoy that. We also had a nightly bedtime ritual that included a sponge bath

(they gave you that blue Alpha Keri oil - wonderful stuff!) - with that, his

tapes and his stuffed Curious , he went right to sleep most nights in

spite of all the hubbub.

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

We just got back from the Chriopractor, he said it is all allergys he

massaged his drainage gland and put him on some allergy herbs.

Hopefully this will help. already seems to be feeling better he

ate lunch without spitting it on me. Maybe he will be able to get some

sleep now. Thanks again

I hope is better today. As a mom, I'm constantly wondering " why didn't

I catch that sooner, " and the answer is always, " I didn't know about it. "

Please don't beat yourself up over it. It's hard to tell when our kids are sick

since they live with it so much.

You complained earlier in the week how tired you were, so maybe this is some

flu going around?

I hope you all feel better today and can enjoy the special company.

During my first BFL challenge I hurt my back and missed 2 whole weeks of

workouts between weeks 8 and 10. I still met my goals and turned out all lean

and muscley on picture day. :-) Life happens. You're never going to get a

perfectly smooth 12 weeks. It's unrealistic to expect that.

If your workouts get derailed just be extra vigilant about your eating. Remember

that nutrition is 80% of your results. You can still lose fat and continue to

make progress during a down time. There's no reason to worry about not finishing

your challenge.

Sick

Hi ladies. I'm a bit stressed. My 18 mo old was sick yesterday w/

fever and throwing up. Yesterday was my cardio day, but I switched

for legs since I can do that at home. I snuck it in during a her

nap. Today, my husband is sick with the same thing and my daughter

still has lingering tummy trouble etc.

So... I may not be able to do my cardio today and it will be a

miricle if I don't come down with the virus. I guess I'm looking for

someone to tell me that it's ok to skip 1 or 2 workouts because I'm

feeling VERY guilty and anxious. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't put

my workouts over my sick child, but I don't want to loose my week 10

momentum.

Is there anyone out there who has completed one or more challenges

that had to skip workouts?

Should I not count these days toward my 12 weeks? Am I obsessing?

I have just come too far to not finish this challenge!!!

[Guest guest]

I have been in that situation too. During week 8 I had to take 2

days off due to illness. I just had to remind myself that it's 80%

down to eating, so I kept my eating up, and just carried on as soon

as I was well enough. I considered making up for it on my free day,

but realised I really needed the rest more than the extra cardio.

Hey there,

i went through the same thing also. what i did was while everyone

was asleep, i did makeshift cardio in the living room:

one minute, walking in place, running in place, skipping around,

jumpping jacks, ect. i know it isn't the same, but if i hadn't, i

would have beat myself up about it forever...

Just try to remember it is 'body for life. Sometimes life gets in the

way, unexpected things come up, etc. If you can't work out, then you

can't. Try not to dwell on it. A day or two or even three won't kill

your progress. Personally, I haven't worked out or even been on plan

for 2 days now. Had a stressful event with my Dobe (my furry kid) and

a possible life threatening illness. He had surgery and is on the

road to recovery but I don't have the physical or mental energy to

get with it at the moment. As soon as things get back to normal at

home, I'll just get right back to it. But for now I'm " giving myself "

the leeway to just get through the day a bit at a time and not

worrying about workouts, etc.

You know what your describing, is exactly what I was experience about a

week ago. I was debating on missing workouts, but decided that summer is to

close. I also had spider vain injections done last week so my legs were wrapped

so tight, I was walking like a penguin. LOL But, you know I waddled down the

stairs, and got on my swiss ball and starting working out my arms. To my

surprise I felt better. The next day I did my treadmill, even with a cold and

wrapped legs. Everyone in my family is still, coughing and aching and I think I

sweat it out with my workouts. Don't kill your self, scale back a little and

make sure to take at least 1500mg of Vit-C I also took Echinacea/goldseal drops

500mg twice a day. To make sure I did not stress my body to much. But, there is

no need to miss a workout with allergies or a cold. Working through them, with

care will more then likely make you better, faster.
