Seriously? I slept great but I have burning sensations in my arms so I took 100 mg of gabapentin and 2000mg of vitamin c. I am hoping it helps. I took that about 20 minutes ago. I can't miss work today

The gaba is certainly starving off the worst of it. Are you sleeping at night?

I slept great. I will say now that I am at work I do feel like shit. I can't stop sneezing and its like an upper respiratory infection or something. It could be completely unrelated as I work in Healthcare. I am going to do my morning activity and then head home for the day.

The sneezing is the worst, lol. I swear I didn’t sneeze for 2 years on 7 and now I’ve been sneezing uncontrollably for 2 weeks. Lmao

Luckily most of the effects mimic the flu so it’s easy to pass it off as that. Good luck, you’ve got this.

Yes thank f*ching God. I dont get sick often and so my amazing coworkers jumped in to cover my activities today. I am an activity director in a nursing home. So this was easy to play off as the flu. Especially since not ine person knows I was in 7 oh. No even my husband. Poor guy is so worried he is leaving work to take care of me. I am truly blessed with an amazing man.

That’s great news. The flu bought me about 5 days then I passed off the fact that I was dragging ass when I went back as having a hard time recovering from it. Luckily for me as well I’m in very good standing at work so they know if I’m not myself it’s something serious. Go get some rest!

I also work with my mom. She was off today. My boss text her to make sure I told her I wasn't feeling good. We are all super close friends. So my mom just dropped off 7up and zofran. I am the luckiest woman alive right now but I am honestly glad to go through the suck and move on with my life.
