7 days...

[becky3]

Well...it's been a week. I have nothing really extravagant to say, it seems...All I wanna do is rant about how terrible I feel today and how sick I really am...and how I can't even afford medical coverage to help take care of myself the right way. How come I have to live with nausea, vomiting, dizziness, pain, and a VERY upset stomach (that I will spare you the details of)? I am just barely making ends meet now...I'm not even close to sure of how we managed to afford cigarettes! For all I know, I could be dying right now...I think I might be. I've been sick like this off and on since I had my gall bladder removed 4 years ago. Today happens to be one of the worst days I've experienced with this...I couldn't hold anything in or down all day (and believe it or not, I worked all day in this condition with the kitchen temperatures above 110 degrees!)...Now I'm sitting at home dying, wondering why I'm so sick today...I've considered trying to eat only to dry heave and decide not to even think about it anymore. For that matter, I didn't eat all day yesterday either cause I felt nauseated all day but I didn't feel as bad as I do today....let me think a little more...Ok, so I did eat on Monday. And today's Wednesday. Hmm. Maybe later I'll risk it again later.

Geez...I considered deleting this and rewriting it for like the 12th time...But I give up. Sorry if I'm random...But guess what?!?!?!

I haven't smoked a cigarette in 7 f---in' days! (Now, that felt nice.)

Becky,

At least you are not smoking. Sounds like there might be other things going on but if it helps. I was sick for a good 6 weeks after I quit. I call it my detox. I put poison in my system for 30 years and it only took 6 weeks to feel better. Still get a little tired but at least no sinus infection.

It will get better!!! Drink as much water as you can it helps transport the toxins out of your body.

I hve stayed sick quite a bit myself since I quit, but now I am starting to feel better, except for my sinus problems, but better than it was, yo just have to hang in there..sending a ((hug))) and hoping you feel better soon

Becky, if you think you're seriously ill, there must be a free clinic or ER or charity hospital you can go to. If you think it's detoxing, then I guess chocolate, water and rest are the way to go, but I'd hate for you to be terribly sick and not getting care.

I feel better today, top notch actually...I've been having issues like this ever since I had my gall bladder removed...it's off and on...Some days are great but some are just awful...
