At first I thought it was the Flu. The Husband had been feeling a little under the weather so I just assumed I caught what he had. He is already feeling somewhat better, never taking a day off work, but sleeping as much as possible. When he started antibiotics, he seemed to get better which made me realize it wasn't the flu. My body hurts. I mean godawful just kill me now it hurts too bad to go on kind of hurting. And my fever is high. And I have extreme fatigue. I can't walk from one room to the other without having to sit down and rest. Then my throat started to hurt so I started taking antibiotics but it didn't get better. My lower back hurts like a kidney infection. My front side hurts bad enough to make me walk bent over. My neck is visibly swollen. So today I looked inside my throat and it is red, swollen, and covered in white mucus. That coupled with the fact I can't swallow my own saliva without wincing and I have nausea to the point of dry heaving made me concerned enough to call the doctor. I'm going in for an appointment in just a jiffy. My parents are going to keep the kids. I suspect it is Mono.
My childhood frienemy was over not too long ago to see BabyGirl and BabyBoy. After she left she called to say that her oldest girl just got back from the doc and has mono. Shadow had just started to hang out with childhood frienemy's oldest girl before she moved. I didn't kiss on any of them, but people do cough and sneeze and half-ass wash their hands. So mono is a possibility and according to Doctor Google, that may very well be what I have. The pain is my spleen and kidneys. The throat pain is SEVERE, not like Strep but 100 times worse. For days now I've not been able to hold BabyGirl or pick BabyBoy up to place him on the changing table for diaper changes. I've not given any kids a bath nor have I had one myself (The Husband did bathe the kids). Yesterday I sat for 3 hours at the pediatrician for BabyGirl's well-child appointment (7lbs 12oz) and then took the kids to my parents house while I came home to sleep. After I picked The Daughter up from school, we went to get the other kids. I gave them food and went to bed. The Husband woke me up when he got home at night. I don't have a clue if The Daughter's homework has been completed.
My head hurts. This can go on for MONTHS. OMG it is torture. And now The Daughter is complaining of not feeling well. She has no appetite and can't sleep well. I really don't want to pass this around the household. We have so much planned for the upcoming weeks. The Daughter has already missed too much school. Ugh. So, if I don't blog for a while it is because I'm curled up in the fetal position in bed whining that I feel bad.

Oh no!! I hope you feel better soon and that on one else in the house gets it.
!! No dying allowed!! Get better soon, try not to do too much etc etc..
and phone bio-mom/dad and ask them to come drive you places, like, you need to get to the store RIGHT AWAY otherwise your feet will fall off and the house will collapse in on itself (okay, random, but I feel their demands as you describe them are also random and juust a bit over the top :).
OMG!!! I'm in the process of getting over something very similar, but mine lasted only 6 days. I certainly hope you feel better!!!!!!
