Feeling Like Poo.....
Before my breast reduction surgery my primary care physician did some blood work. My cholesterol was 197. It is slowly creeping up and I know why. I have this thing about chicken. It has to be cooked. So, I have been having crispy chicken in my salads when we go to our favorite diner, which has been a lot this year. So, my doctor started me on medicine for my cholesterol and the major side effect is feeling like you have the flu. I started it five days ago, and I feel like I have been run over by a truck!! I don't have a fever or anything. My muscles in my legs hurt so bad that I had to take a pain pill last night. My arms hurt, my feet hurt, my boobs hurt, everything hurts. I called this morning and she said to stop it immediately. I didn't take it this morning. I am suppose to stop it for ten days. If I get better, which I hope I do because I feel like crap, then it is the medicine. If, I don't get better then I have the flu!! It has to be the medicine. I saw my hematologist (blood doctor) yesterday. She monitors my anemia and my white blood count was not alleviated, but, I am still anemic, which I will always be from the chemotherapy. So, that is the latest and greatest. If, I am not around for the next few days, you know why!! I sure hope I wake up feeling much better tomorrow.

I am so sorry you are feeling icky! DH had BAD chills last night. You'd swear he was sitting naked in a freezer by the way he was shaking. We think it was his flu shot. I hope yours clears up asap and isn't the actual flu! I'll send up a prayer for you.
