Well Again....At Least I Hope

I have been sick for all of January.  I have been in a heated battle with an upper respiratory infection that kept coming back over and over and over.  I was first hit with sickness the week after Christmas.  I pushed through the sickness because I NEVER go to the doctor, going to the doctor is my last resort.  The sickness went away but then came back about a week later so I broke down and went to the doctor.  The doctor said I had an upper respiratory infection.  She prescribed me amoxicillin.  Unfortunately a few days after starting my medication, I broke out in a terrible itchy rash.  Surprise, surprise, I am allergic to penicillin!  YAY!  I was prescribed some other medication which I am really not sure what it was suppose to do, I am assuming it was suppose to help get the amoxicillin out of my body or maybe help with the terrible rash I had.  For a weekend I itched and itched and itched.  Along with my itching there was a lot of bitching.  I am a terrible sick person, I get very angry at the world so yeah you don't want to be around me when I am sick. lol  By Monday, in time for work, thankfully, my rash was pretty much gone.  However, a couple days later I started getting sick yet again!  Back to the doctor I go and I was prescribed another medication to get rid of what was left of this upper respiratory infection.  I am thankful to say that the medication seems to be working and I feel back to normal today!  YAY!  So January has not been my month but I am happy to say that I do feel back to healthy which makes me so happy.  I have a new empathy for people that are sick a lot because it is a terrible thing.  I have had trouble functioning at work because it is all I can do just to make it through the day.  Also my workouts have suffered and I love to workout but when you feel sick it is hard just to make it through the day let along through a workout.  I look forward to actually being able to enjoy life again and to having good workouts!  I just look forward to feeling normal again!  Hopefully February will be a great, HEALTHY month for me :-)  I need it, please!
