Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thank you, Kate! I am better. But of course I couldn't be satisfied with ONLY tonsillitis and bronchitis. Had to get an itchy rash (looks like mosquito bites) all over my body, including on the inside of my hands and under my feet, as well...I am told that when you have a powerful enough virus infection (like the throat thing) this is a not too uncommon symptom, especially during the last stages of the infection. That part about the last stages sounds good at least...Good thing my niece Pixie (soon to be 3 - or as she puts it "I am five years old now, but I will be three in March"...) is looking after me via videochat on the computer. Yesterday she was reading me stories via the computer. She can't quite read yet although she is beginning to learn, but she retells the stories as she rememebers them and points to the pictures in the book along the way. I'll attach a photo of her reading to me on the computer, it's not a great photo, but you get the general idea...love/Reb>> Oh Reb, bronchitis can be a real bear!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 That sounds much like coxackie virus. Don't know the spelling on that...yup, I looked it up, that's how you spell it. Google it, and see if you think I might be right. It's also a virus, usually children can get it, but I've heard of adults as well.Stay warm and well!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Sorry you've got the itchies on top of the other two. Hopefully you're getting all of the year's ailments over at once! And the pic of Pixie is so adorable. She looks so sweeet concentrating on her book ... hugs, Cait Back from doc> > > I finally did call to make an appointment with the doc today, had been > asking me to do so for a couple of days.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thank you!Could be, I suppose. I did invent the term the "sampler kit virus" for what I am having, since it gives you a "sample" of a whole range of symptoms... I've had a little bit of vertigo for a few days now too...The first day I thought it had to do with not eating a whole lot, but it keeps coming back even now when I have been eating more (eating is easier now). Oh well. I am better, I am not spending all my time on the couch or in the bed anymore. love/Reb> >> > Oh Reb, bronchitis can be a real bear!
