Sniffle sniffle

[fluffymark]

*cough* *cough* *cough*

Waaaaaaah! I'm badly ill.

I appear to have caught the evil coughy thing going around, or maybe something worse. Woooozy light head and coughs and sore throat and sniffly nose and huge red splodgy rash all over skin and a lot of insomnia. Moooooop :(

Rash is getting worse - need to find and look in scary medical book and find out what it is, must be something similar to Measles. Hope it doesn't get any worse. *scared*

Couldn't think properly in interview yesterday at all due to being ill and my mind wandering elsewhere, and so was far from being my best and coughed all over them. B-Movie was a no-go and I just collapsed on sofa but kmazzy is now happily visiting and watched Lesbian videos and looked at the chocolate porn. So yay for her! :)

*fitofcoughing*
*sniffles*

Want to curl up in bed all day and be fed warm drinks and chocolate. What horrible timing, I've got to move house today. And drive a van in a few hours. Oh dear. Lots of lovely people helping me move, that will be nice. Eeeeeeee. *sniffle*

*huuuuuuuuuuuuuugs*

They did - I let the fab lovely people finish my packing and do all the loading and unloading, and unpack for me.

All I did was drive the van-from-hell *shudder*. Its a miracle I didn't crash it.

Have I ever told you how wonderful you are? :)

~hugkiss~ Will we see you tomorrow or are you going to be being sensible and looking after yourself?

ED is calling out for me tomorrow. I'm recovering well, so hopefully by tomorrow evening I'll be feeling ready for facing the world again. :)

Oh and......stuff. Big stuff. Will tell you about it, when I next see you.

Stuff? Good stuff? Bad stuff? ~hugs~ either way. ~concerned~

*hugs you*

You = rest, be looked after.

The lovely people will be very happy to take directions and pamper you, I'm sure. Do the minimum moving things about you can get away with.

*sends virtual hot water bottle and hot chocolate*

love,

Elly

Essentially thats what I did - I drove the scary van, but then let others do the resto of the work, which they seemed more than happy to do. kmazzy was getting very excited about all the screwing she did.

Am feeling somewhat better now, thankfully.

Hot chocolate sounds like a fantastic idea. :)

Use this opportunity of having lots of people helping you move to improve your management skills in order to enhance your CV. Wrap up very warm and snug in oriental fabrics with a turban, recline majestically on your chaise longue (what do you mean you haven't got one? well, send a minion out to scavenge as soon as they arrive), sipping your Lemsip with an expression of authority and coughing all over people if they object.

At least, that's what I'd do. If I had any minions. Which, at the moment, I don't.

I'm working on it.

Get well soon!

[fluffymark]

*giggles* What a fantastic idea! :)

Unfortunately, all my minions have now gone home! Waaaaaaaaah!

Unless you were talking about small onions. You probably were, weren't you?

[fluffymark]

Oh god yes!!!!! Grapes. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I need to find someone to feed me grapes *now*

I feel guilty...

I think a nasty sneezy sore-throaty virus may have been my ever so generous gift to you on the occasion of your being doctored.

So I won't come and help you move, there is no point multiplying your sources of contagion. Sorry. Hope the move goes well.

Rash may mean fifth disease. Nothing to worry about. There are five childhood illness which routinely cause rashes, the fifth one being fifth disease which is a rash accompanied by the symptoms of a cold or flu. It is so insignificant compared to measles it doesn't even have a proper name.

Having said that childhood illnesses can have nasty consequences in adulthood so if you have an unexplained rash I would seek medical advice asap. And you can do this at any GP practice if you register as a visitor. Or call NHS Direct.

Lots of love

Never heard of the mysterious 5th disease. It would be fab to catch a disease without a name. In a fab sort of way, of course, actually suffering from it is not very fab.

I seem to recall you also gave me champagne, so you're still officially wonderful in my book. :)

Eep! What a horrible thing to have to contend with whilst feeling ill. And it sounds like a rather unpleasant illness... have you ever had German Measles? There are three forms of the rubella virus, so even if you've had one form you might not have immunity to the other two.

[fluffymark]

It was unpleasant, but appears to be going away now, thankfully.

I self-diagnosed myself with Rubella about 3 years ago. Symptoms then were a intense splitting headache with nausea and high fever and running nose for about a day followed after by coughing and a rash lasting a few days. This current illness has similar symptoms, but in a different order and milder.

Never knew there were 3 forms of Rubella. Eeeep.

[arkady.livejournal.com]

Yup; and I've had all three. Plus had the bloodtests to prove I had the antibodies to all three, too. (Kind of obligatory during pregnancy - one part I never did like. Bleh.)

[fluffymark]

All 3! Eeep. Thats a bad run of luck. I thought they immunized women against Rubella becasuse of the pregnancy thing?

[arkady.livejournal.com]

These days, children are automatically immunised against rubella as part of the MMR vaccine, but back when I was a child the MMR wasn't available. There was a rubella vaccine available for girls aged 15 at school; however, by that age I'd already had all three forms, so there was no point in having the vaccination.
