Is this what I have to look forward to?

Well... As I have said I have been sick. I have diarrhea. I have had it since last week, like thursday of last week. I am sick of it. I run to the bathroom several times a day. They say I have strep throat too so i am on penicillin for that. It does not seem to be getting better at all

I'm sorry you don't feel well, I hope you get better soon :)

Unsolicited Advice:

I was having diarrhea problems for probably 6 months, due to some medications I was on. Seriously, I don't think I had solid poo for that long. Then I learned that breathing excercises can help with hypertension, so I started doing them. Literally in less than a week I was pooing solid again, and have been ever since. I got the breathing techniques from Dr. Weil www.drweil.com, from his Breath work CD set. They are also in his book spontaneous healing. I swear by them, and they can't hurt :)

There's been a lot of flu making the rounds in the Baltimore-DC area. I had a bout that lasted for a week, and I'm still recovering more than a week later.

I didn't lose control over any bodily functions (no vomiting or diarrhea, that is), but it wasn't fun. Somehow, I coughed so violently that I've pulled a muscle or something in my ribs on the right side, so I'm taking something for the pain.

A friend of mine, todc, ran in the Mardi Gras marathon at the end of Feburary, came home and caught the flu, then developed pneumonia. Like I said, a lot going around.

Get well soon!

Don't worry too much right now hon.. everyone I know (and their entire family) is sick right now. Drink lots of water, and if you feel you're getting too dehydrated get some Pedialite (I know, weird.. but it works.)

But most importantly : SLEEEEEEEEP. Lots.

hey sweetie,

Just in case you do end up on meds one of these days... as someone that has taken virtually every hiv drug known to man at some point in my life or another, diarrhea isn't a guaranteed side effect. I actually have never experienced that as a direct side effect to my meds. Everyone is affected differently of course, and I'm always available if you'd like to talk or something :-)

::hugs::

Awe, thanks hun for your encouragement I've needed it these days!
