misery.
misery. [eta: it loves company. trillian's up and running. anyone want to come tell me funny things to make me feel better?]
on amoxicillin since saturday. felt like it was doing some good. the Tell-Tale Signs of sinus infection were disappearing. but then this morning, i woke up in agony. agony. not so much the sinus-pressure mask, but everything else that could hurt, did. iron-vise-style headache with occasional stabbing pain behind right eye. weird raspy cough-thing making voice sound like lauren bacall (itself not a bad thing). pressure in the right ear. no dizziness, but occasional loss of balance. feeling weak; had to hold milk carton in both hands to be sure i wouldn't drop it. sort of stiff in the neck. ugh.
i had two classes today (in which i'm a student, i mean), and i ditched them both -- the 9:30 to go back to bed, and the 2:00 to go back to student health. (i did teach my 3:30 class, and i have no idea how i mustered the superhuman effort required to hold my head up and not crumple to the floor in tears.) good news: not mono. also no evidence from the blood work that the bacterial infection is running amok. bad news: seems just to be something viral that i'll have to wait out. grr.
have tylenol, sudafed, and a new prescription. yay, T3. i hear good things about that stuff. shouldn't take it for another couple hours, though.
