A couple of days ago, I was feeling a bit off so I drank some EmergenC to help ward off the sickies. Within hours I was feeling better and didn't feel any symptoms of being sick. Until yesterday at 4am, I woke up to some major chills and with a temperature of 100.5!
Things that I initially do when I'm having chills is to cover my entire body (head included) and try to create a heating incubator under the covers. This helped me warm up from the chills then to the point where I was sweating. I do this because I think it releases some of the sickness out of my pores and I like the cool feeling once I'm out from under the covers.
After I had awaken, I took a shower and took more vitamin c with some tablets of Tylenol. My fever had gone down and I was back to normal while I spent time with our Fam bam on Sunday. I was even able to lay out in the sun for 30 minutes.
When we got home, I was exhausted which was most likely from the sun. I took lil ma upstairs where I fed her and we napped. I woke up at 830p and I was burning up at a temp of 101.8 degrees! What?!?
I took more Tylenol and drank lots of water. Within the next 2 hours my fever had subsided a tad to 100 degrees. Since my human alarm clock (lil ma) woke me up in the early morning I was able to take my temp again which was at 97.8 degrees.
So far, the fever has not returned (yet) but I am definitely feeling tired and my body aches.
So what are some things that you do that help you handle either the initial onset or help you during the fever or cold cycle?
For me it is the blanket incubator and eating ramen noodles. Unfortunately, we didn't have any ramen packages in the house so I had some leftovers from Fam bam lunch. You gotta drink lots of water and try to eat!
I always say how getting sick during the summer or warm season sucks and I will say it again.... It sucks getting sick when it's hot out. Yuck!
Well, I'm going to take a nap and try to recover back to my normal self. You guys have a great week!!
Stay beautiful inside and out!
Laters,
