Sick with a Cold and Feeling Blue

October 3rd, 2007

Ok, so here’s the update…I’m sick! L It’s been a full week of congestion, sore throat, slight fever, and just that icky achy feeling. So, because of being sick I haven’t really been able to tell if going off my birth control has made any difference in how I feel. It was interesting though the first two days after stopping taking birth control I felt really ridiculously anxious and emotional and I couldn’t relax. It was the weirdest feeling. But after about three days that stopped and that’s when I got sick – I was wondering if maybe the fact that my body was detoxifying from the birth control could have weakened my immune system and made me more susceptible to being sick…just a random thought I’d had. I did have some friends in town this week and so I was out showing them the town more and that always makes me feel more run down which can also make me more susceptible to getting sick. But, it was worth it. I had such a great time having them here and it was really nice. I didn’t feel very well most of the time they were here but I was able to hold it together until they left and then I really crashed – yesterday and today I’ve felt especially sick. But, I’m hopeful that if I can just rest and drink lots of water and eat some good homemade chicken broth I should start to feel better by this weekend. I sure hope so at least – my parents are coming this weekend and I want to be able to hang out with them. Oh, and my mom is suppose to be bringing the results from the hormone tests I had done when we were in the states so I’m really looking forward to looking over those and figuring that out. I’ll definitely be sure to share them with you all once I get them J Hope everyone is doing well.

Health to you and yours –
Beth
