I would like to say, for the record, that I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
My feet hurt -- plantar fasciaitus, mortons neuroma and falling arches, do not a good combo make. Birkenstocks might be a great solution, if my feet can ever be in enough no-pain to tolerate the break in period. I had a cortisone shot 4 months ago, and it seems I am ready for another, already. Seems that I am not alone, though -- my HMO cannot get me in to the podiatrist until AUGUST 8! Wish me and me feet luck making it that long. This is not something I want to chance at the urgent care, so I am toughing it out as best I can.
Hack hack... I am fighting the same upper respiratory infection I have had 6 times since October. Starts in my chest, moves to throat, then to face an back to the chest. All the while, my energy level is zapped and I sound like I smoke 4 packs a day -- charming. The doc said to just "take necessary precautions." I had to laugh. He told me this on the backside of reminding me that as a person with Lupus, my immune system is compromised, and it is worsened by the meds for keeping the Lupus in check, and that I will catch whatever is flying around -- this just happens to be a bad year. Fat lot of good that did me -- as I missed two days of work this week. I am so not a happy camper.
So here I sit with painful feet, a raspy voice and ribs that hurt from the incessant hacking. Enough already -- enough!
There, now that I have that off my chest, back to our regular programming.

I'm with you! I have had so many health problems lately that I don't know what healthy feels like. I hope you feel better soon. Being sick is not fun especially when your life just can't be put on hold like when we were kids.
Sounds like you need to wear one of those masks over your face when you go out. Try to think positive and good luck.
