Very rough.

.

.

I officially woke at 5:20 or so.  Couldn't get out of bed.  Bad headache, nausea, feet were too hot, then cold, then hot.  I was too hot, cold, then hot along the way as I tried to sort out the feet.  Bones hurt, in the neck, back, shoulders.  I tried flipping, flopping, feet out, in, etc.  Something was really wrong.  Fever?  At times.

Then I started dry gagging.  I had an item, in case it was more than just the heaves.  I was sure something would come up.  Must not have been anything in there.  Ten minutes of that, then ten minutes hoping it wouldn't come back.  It didn't.  But I still have some concern.  I haven't dry heaved in... a very long time.  Didn't know I still could, mostly, after draino.

It's rough, boys and girls.  I can't sleep enough, or wake up fully, or get to a good, or even moderate, sense of wellbeing.  It's been a rough few days.  Is it the cold?  The foot?  What I am eating, or not eating?  Just can't tell you.

I haven't been using painpills often.  And, when I do, I have been alternating between aspirin with caffeine and generic tylenol, so as not to upset my stomach.  Just shot the former down with water.  I know, but aspirin won't upset my stomach (or add to it) unless I take too much at a time, and in a row... which I had been doing.  Though to be honest, I'm not sure the tylenol helps?  Just not the right sort of pain.  Meh.  May have to try something else.

While I hurt, the pain is mostly settled.  I take painpills because it could, has, and may peak through at any moment.  And, hopefully, to decrease some of the symptoms... like fever.  Maybe nausea?  Dunno, but if works on the underlying pain, it might help that.  That is from pain I can suffer through without feeling.  Sure of that.

Foot was a bit rough, too.  I have been pushing that, a bit.  Now I have to, but when?  Is it too early to be pushing?  I... don't know.

Not a lot I can do about any of it.  I'm just guessing here.  Would rather go back to bed, but between the feet freezing then burning, and myself generally if not as severely.  Plus nausea, bone, and head aches, I just can't sleep.  Tired enough, just... not well enough.

I'll say a little prayer.  Leave what I can't sort in God's hands, to His mercy or wisdom, and let go.  Good morning and day.
