I despise missing work for Indeterminate Symptoms, but it seems to be the thing to do today. I've got an annoying basket of complaints right now: grogginess, stuffed up head, mild chills, queasiness, headache, unsteadiness on my feet, etc. Fortunately, there's no fever, so it probably isn't flu. I'm going to optimistically figure that it's the intersection of exhaustion, a mild headcold, allergies, sinus problems due to the storm, and an excess of Starbucks on an empty stomach.

Hopefully curling up at home will make it go away...

Unsolicited advice

Antacids will help with the Starbucks issue (or a small amount of baking soda in water.)

If I think I'm going to vomit, I usually take antacids, because it makes a significant difference in the pain of the chemical burn.

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, and I did do the antacid thing (both Tums for quick relief and Tagamet for more persistent). But the real problem was the caffeine, I believe. A large hit of coffee, combined with exhaustion and an empty stomach, wound up sending my system into a complete tizzy...

*hugs* from a safe distance.

Feel better soon - and if you want virtual company during the day, I'll likely be hanging around AIM off and on....

Some days I think there should be an illness called "blah". We've all had it...

((( hugs ))) It sounds like we have the same thing, I came down with pretty identical symptoms yesterday. The girl I sit next to in IR had it last week and she says it won't last very long, which is a plus. Hope you're feeling better soon <3
