Ive been sick since New Years Day. Went to the doctor and I have strep throat and an ear infection. I've done everything possible...gargle w/ salt water, nyquil, vicks, heated bed buddy (thing you put in the microwave), sleep, anything else you can think of I've probably done. I've been on an antibiotic since Monday, but its not working!! And I realize today is only wednesday...but I'm whining lol.

I'm the biggest baby when sick. I'm whiny...very whiny. But, since it's just my daughter and I, I can only be whiny to myself. I asked my sister to make me homemade chickennoodle soup, and she won't. So, I whined to my mom lol.

I'm just miserable!

Who else is a baby when they are sick? I know I can't be the only woman!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Glad I am not alone :D I had another doc appt today, cuz I just feel like poop. I feel worse then I did the last few days. I now have thrush. Whatever the heck that is lol.

I've been taking my daughter to daycare tho, because I don't wanna get her sick. And I gotta pay for it, so shes going LOL. I'm having a hard enough time taking care of myself. My sister and mom won't make me soup...big meanies! But, my stepdad has to have a major surgery tomorrow, thats why I cant go to my moms and lay on her couch. Damn, the luck I have lol. My doctor said I should be alot better by this weekend, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Since, I have to have a partial hysterectomy on the 18th.

Will someone send me their cleaning fairy tho? My house looks like a tornado went through it.

I went to the Chinese resturaunt and infected everyone there, because I wanted some Egg Drop soup. I put a boatload of pepper in it, and was sweating and my nose was like a faucet. I'm still a little whiney tho! haha

A shot glass with warm water and 1 to 2 Tablespoons Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and a little honey. DOWN it and chase with OJ so you don't taste it. It really works!

Sick? You're allowed to be sick?? LOL

In my house, unless I'm near death I get little empathy or break from responsibilities. But the second my husband gets the littlest sniffle he expects that I will call in sick (which I won't) and take care of him and the solar system that apparently revolves around him!

Sorry your sick. Hope the truth of my life made you laugh. Hope even more that you are back on your feet and feeling great again soon.

yes - it can be sooooo frustrating. When everyone else is sick you take care of them, and then when you are the one who is sick it's like pulling teeth to get someone to take care of you! (in my house anyway)

Lots of water, vitamin C and a humidifier. Try to take a few showers during the day too. The steam can work wonders......

I'm guessing you weren't the oldest in your family. Those of us who were usually just have to suck it up.

I am the BIGGEST baby when sick. People joke about the 'man cold' or 'man illness'... My hubby is the one that ISN'T a baby. I guess I'm the one that gets 'man illness'.

LOL, love it! Why shouldnt you get to be a little whiny when your sick? Thats the time to take advantage of the time you get to yourself and have people take care of you.
Ugh and strep throat andddd ear infection yuck!
Give your antibotic time to work lol going to take a few more days of use, and dont skip your doses.

Good that you have your mom to help out it sounds like too. Mean ol' sister wont make you soup, for shame, lol.

I am totally a baby too, I try hard not to, but I love getting taken care of for a change when im sick. Work so hard everyday to make sure everyone elses needs are met, instead of mine own its kinda nice, but not that your sick.

Hope you feel better soon, and that people take good care of you. Wish you lived closer, I love making homemade chicken noodle soup and fresh homemade bread!

I am, I am!! Thank goodness my DH and DSs usually take amazing care of me when I am. I have been sick alot lately because I have just started a job working with tons of children and their germs get me about every other week. Your sister SHOULD bring you soup, and I would whine at mine if I asked and she didn't do it too! ;) And if she didn't I would also call my mom. Hopefully the meds will kick in soon, sleep and watch TV and play on the computer and FEEL BETTER!! :)

answers from Pittsburgh on

Might I suggest a hot toddy before bed? Tea with lemon, honey and 2 shots of whiskey. It's known in my house to stop the whining almost immediately. (Not me--hubby!)
No, I'm not a baby when I'm sick. I keep on with my normal life.

answers from Nashville on

I am the biggest baby when I am sick. My husband hates it, but he babies me so it is kindda funny. I don't get sick much but when I do it is miserable and I hate doing anything. So no you are the the only woman who is a baby when they are sick.
