Did somebody call for the waaaahmbulance?

Hey, I seem to recall that the last time this happened you went on a wool shopping spree. Proof that wool has miraculous, curative powers!

I have heard, btw, that ex-smokers start getting sick more often as the cilia in the lungs start to recover and bounce back. Also, consider getting yourself checked out for anemia and thyroid functions - these can both cause you to have a poor immune system.

yeah..I just did that wool shopping spree!! I'll tell you one thing, I have no dearth of awesome warm clothes to lie around and be sick in!!

i like that...the wahmbulance...!!!!!

Actually, D, I know of 3 people who got pneumonia a year after they quit...so there might be somthing to what you say....allthose little sea armss waving away that gunk of many years....and it has been 15 months since I stopped completely.

Thyroid...they're always checking my thyroid....and its always OK...hmmm

Thyroid...they're always checking my thyroid....and its always OK...hmmm

Almost any doctor will check your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels and based on that, determine whether your thyroid is OK or Not OK. There are a number of other tests (Free T3, and others) that show a much clearer picture.

Hey! you're near me! I've been seeing this guy with good results for the last 8 months.

Elk,
Callie wandered by to see if you need a soft kitty to help you snooze? She'll play with you to cheer you up, and then Nap time!

Hope you're feeling better. Heard on the news that this year's gamble at the flu shot combo wasn't as good as a guess as they thought. Right. I already had the plague this year. I can also vouch for the Irish Cure. But be careful with the wee nip of whiskey, you don't want to wake with a hangover. Trust me on this.

Yesterday as I was speaking with a customer my stomach went south....
I got progressively sicker as the evening progressed, and spent a lot of time in the loo lastnight... UGH
My stomach is in that touchy area right now, where you are afraid to eat ANYTHING...
And I have an 80/10 ride/run brick tomorrow.. OY!

So while it's not the "flu", it's some nasty tummy thing.

Oooh... I hope you are better VERY soon Running Mom... I had that for about 10 days straight. Just what you said -- didn't want to eat anything. Couldn't really go anywhere! Lots of hours on the trainer -- sat it up just a few steps from the loo! Good luck with whatever yours is and stay hydrated. Lots of yogurt was my solution. Still many things I won't touch yet!

On the other hand -- I did lose weight just a bit faster than normal for me...
