Very Sick or at least I think so

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I don't mean to sound like a baby, but I think I am really

sick right now. I took a cold a few days ago, started with a runny

nose, and sneezing. Now it has progressed to almost constant coughing,

my chest is burning, I can't take a deep breath, if I move around I

" pant " because of shortness of breath, I have an earache, and a sore

throat. Also the pink discoloration on my cheeks and across my nose

are becoming slightly raised. I also have a terrible headache.

All of this is on top of the joint pain, muscle weakness, and

everything else that is going on. I can't get in to see my PCP until

Thurs., I had an appointment with a Neurologist tomorrow due to the

headaches and coordination problems, but I will probably cancel that

due to the way I feel.

I remember a friend making a comment one time that since I had an

autoimmune disorder I would never get or rarely get a normal sickness,

due to my " hyperactive immune system " , so I should not worry about my

health. But right now I am miserable and a little worried.

I better go now, I feel terrible. I'm going to lie down for a little

while.

Hope to be back soon.
