I guess stress must make you more succeptible to infection, because in the past 3 or so weeks, I've blazed through at least 3 different infections. First, my tooth got infected (the infection's cleared up for the most part now and I signed up for dental insurance, so I'm going to get the rest of it taken care of as soon as my policy takes affect next month), and I'm sure that the excruciating pain and constant sneezing every time my gum started to swell was because I also had a sinus infection ripping through my face. Well, all that crap's cleared up for now, but last night I discovered at a very VERY bad moment, that I'm certain I have a bladder/urinary tract infection now. After sharp shooting pains all evening last night, now it only hurts when I have anything in my bladder, but dammit! I have cranberry juice...well, the closest I could get here, seeing as most of the stuff was just high fructose corn syrup with some fruit juice and dyes added to it. But I also have a ringworm on my left middle finger! Ack, at least all of the above hasn't made me bedridden yet.
Hahaha, well, the only thing that's contagious is the ringworm and I have it hidden under a bandage and won't let anyone touch that hand, lol.
I think I gots a case of the AIDS too! Well, not really, but the more sympathy I can milk, the better.
i get the same way when i'm totally stressed. i have to drive to SoCal with my daughters for my dad's birthday. i'm totally stressed. and already, i have a nasty cold.
