On antibiotics for an infection

I feel icky. Feverish. Chills. Stomach hurts. Can’t eat. Didn’t sleep but totally exhausted. Headache. And the list goes on. I don’t know what’s worse…the infection or the antibiotic side effects. Guess today I don’t move from my recliner cuddled up under a blanket. I’m having a little pity party.

That sucks. I’m sorry. I hope this passes soon.

Side note, but do you think this is possibly why your symptoms have been acting up? Your body was fighting off an infection without your knowledge? I know my symptoms always spike when I’m sick.

I really never thought of That! The infection has been there awhile. That is totally possible

I really hope that’s what it was. Then you’ll start feeling better very soon!

Of course. Try to get some rest if you can manage it. Don’t feel guilty about spending most of the day lying around. Be gentle with yourself, and accept that this is a healing time for you. Your body is working very hard right now, even if you can’t see it.
