Lorraine Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Can I be sick of my boss??? I just had another surprise meeting with him last week and he's trying to get me suspended for 3 days without pay. Sorry if this is off topic but I am tired of feeling nervous all the time and just when I think things improve, I get the rug pulled out from under me again...so I alternate from mad to sad several times a week.. That's why I've grown to be fearful when everything is going well in my life. It almost never fails that then something goes bad or wrong. Hope your job situation improves, Rhyta. :rose: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 My daughter is sick and it makes me sad. I hate when the kids get sick... really sick. She was running a 103 fever, coughing, dizzy... not the flu, the culture they did came back negative. She's just not herself, and I wish I could just take it from her and deal with it myself.It's awful feeling helpless when you want to help someone. I'm like you - I'd rather take the suffering from someone and endure it myself rather than see another person whom I love - relative or friend - suffer. Hope she feels better fast, LIX. :hug2: Hugs for you and her. Ginger ale, cold washcloths for the forehead, soda crackers, and plenty of cartoons and comic books. I hope she feels better soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son was super ill when he was 18 and the Big C word was mentioned more than once. He went through hell for at least 2 years. Ended up having his spleen removed and it fixed him. I wish you and your daughter the best and I can understand you would rather take it on yourself. I felt the same way like that Star Trek episode... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A remedy that isn't often used today but what my mother always did was to wipe me down with alcohol and then leave the washcloth on my forehead.

Blue J Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 My daughter is sick and it makes me sad. I hate when the kids get sick... really sick. She was running a 103 fever, coughing, dizzy... not the flu, the culture they did came back negative. She's just not herself, and I wish I could just take it from her and deal with it myself. I certainly sympathize. My older son has had a cough for the past few days...just a cough. And even that I wish I could have, instead of him. I hate it when my kids don't feel good, because all that I can do for them is extremely finite. But they're also relatively healthy. When I refer to them being sick, I don't mean truly, terribly sick. They are well, in the scheme of things. And for that I'm very, very grateful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Can I be sick of my boss??? You have my sympathies. I'm not very happy with my work situation right now, either, but it's not as bad as what you described. I hope it improves for you, consistently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your job situation improves, Rhyta. :rose: Thanks for giving me a place to vent. I am hoping that things are going to get better since I met with the director and our HR rep Wed. At least they are trying to get my perspective on the situation and they were very supportive. It may help or not but at least I feel like someone listened to me. And I'll get a few days to think about what my next step needs to be. ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks all, not the same as my daughter had... went to a restaurant with some friends on Sun and got a terrible case of food poisoning. We all got sushi, but I also wanted to try their teriyaki chicken. When it came, my friend asked to have some, so he took a bit of it. My wife and his wife stayed away and never got sick... he was dealing with the same issues about a day after I was. Good news, I lost a bunch of weight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 You know, now I am wondering if that's what I had about a month ago. One Sunday I woke up with bad abdominal cramps and fever. No diarrhea though but I did have to go to the bathroom more often than usual as whatever I ate wanted to leave my body almost as soon as it entered. I thought I was coming down with some type of virus or flu, but it could have been from the bacon double cheeseburger the night before from a local fast food joint.

Lorraine Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) This post is related to the one above since that is when this first started. Monday I awoke with the same pain in the stomach and still have it today. It comes and goes. It is like an inverted "C" on the left side of my stomach with the area of the pain. The pain goes from the top of the stomach and curves around to the pelvic area where a woman would have cramps. It bothers me briefly after I eat and intermittently during the day. When I drink coffee in the morning, it is bad as well. It has me scared because I wonder if it is stomach cancer. In the late seventies I was told I had a small duodenal ulcer. It might be that acting up too. Just wanted to get this on here in case anyone else had something similar. Edited May 13, 2015 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the big C word out of your mind if you can. No sense worrying about the worst case until its time to.

Narps Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Since this is the infirmary thread I have some new developments to report while I am here. I haven't been feeling well for going on a month now. I had some allergy testing done last week and I am allergic to some stuff but nothing mind blowing. I have terrible congestion every day and just feel ill. I went to my primary doc yesterday. He gave me a breathing test and did a chest x ray as I am having trouble breathing. The upshot is he gave me another antibiotic (my at least 6th one in the past 6 months) and he gave me a steroid for 5 days to try to feel better and kick this thing. Also now I have got a prescription for a breathing medication (steroid) to be used twice daily (Advair) and an emergency inhaler thingy. Good grief. I may look healthy and in good shape (which I think I am) but I sure don't feel it. Hope this stuff helps and I am going to need more bathroom counter space soon to house all this crap i take I am also seriously considering going to see a therapist for my anxiety and depression (I guess) issues as soon as possible. Never done something like this before but I am completely open to it (if my insurance pays for it only). If my insurance doesn't pay for a finite amount of visits then it won't be happening because there is no way I can afford it. Apologies for the long winded post but I figure this is the place for it. Anyone been there and done any of this your input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Maybe all of the different medications you take are doing a number on you. Sometimes I think doctors make us feel worse in the long run. Edited May 13, 2015 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
