Lurgified

[selenay]

I have lurgy *nods* I plan to kill J at work for giving me the lurgy. He says that it's a hard one to kick, too.

So on Thursday I shall be lovely and infectious for my trip to the hypermobility clinic. Yay!

I refuse to call in sick to work, though, because I feel that the Prof needs to see regular!Sel not "been in bed resting for two days" Sel. I shall pass the lurgy around the department and sit in my corner surrounded by grotty tissues tomorrow. I'd make the effort to give it to Da Boss, but he has a funeral to go to this week and I am not cruel enough to make him sit through a funeral feeling really ill and ick.

Aren't I lovely?

Mum and I sat down last night and drew up the family tree, marking in everyone who has suspiciously bendy joints and/or osteogensis imperfecta. Um, it's around half of us and we were just looking the descendants of my mother's grandfather. I feel that we may just possibly have an inherited hypermobility disorder in the family. Maybe.

Tomorrow is writing up a summary of The Medical Records of Doom (aka how many times can Sel dislocate or sprain something in a short period of time?). Mum wants to include all the broken toes from the many times that I've tripped on large, very obvious objects that I should have been able to avoid. We'll see.

I'm either a dream or a nightmare for rheumatologists, I just can't decide which yet. I'll know more on Thursday after I've see the country's leading expert.

Also, why does Firefox have palaeontologist in its dictionary but not rheumatologist?

I am now going to watch Holby City like the sad geek that I am. Can you just write Jac out already?

If it's the same one I've got, it's progressed from a sore throat through too clogged up to think straight (and a couple of days off work last week), into "I ' still feeling rough, but I'm improving", onto "Oh dear. No I'm not." (which didn't combine well with it just being too hot over the weekend), and has now dropped me into migraine city.

That's the coverage from a week and a half.
And the migraine's particularly bad because I don't get migraines, so I don't have any idea of how to cope.

Hope yours it a litle less friendly, and buggers off quickly!

I've been told that it's hard to shake off by the colleague who kindly donated it. It started out with nausea and a store throat, is currently at the too clogged up to think (still with nausea and sore throat) and I'm told that the headache and nausea hang on. Woo!

I get migraines regularly so I know how to cope. Doesn't mean that I like them, but I know what to do with them!

I love being sick *so* much.
