Energy pick me up

[Lady D]

Anybody got any suggestions for a energy pick me up? I have totally felt horrible ever since that first week of my husband's job on the night shift where I absolutely got no sleep, well, no more than 4 1/2 hours every night. I just tried mopping the kitchen floor and I was totally out of breath after 5 minutes. I cannot shake this headache, am having these horrid flushed or sweating feelings, constant sore throat, tenderness to the touch on the inside of my arms where they bend, weird chill type feelings, no fever. I just have been dragging! I literally have felt like a zombie for a week and a half now. I felt ok up until that week that I didn't sleep well. I am beginning to think I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. What can I get that is over the counter to give me some much needed energy at this point? Some Boost maybe, or Ensure?

Did you ever get rid of that sinus infection? I'm on antibiotics right now because of one and it has made me feel lethargic.

And the Ensure has a lot of sugar, I believe, (maybe corn syrup?) not a good thing. Crash and burn.

Had gotten better, for a bit anyway. Haven't had any touch of fever at all in several weeks. Used my sinus nasal spray. Gargled very warm salt water when my throat was sore. Sprayed it with throat spray. Am stuffy again though. Never did get to the doctor though. Tried some Alavert D for allergy sinus first. I do think it helped some. Lack of sleep doesn't help things either. I do need to go. I always put things off that I need to do, especially where that is concerned. Ears are starting to bother me again. I guess I do not have a choice this time for sure. Not like I don't have good insurance through my husband's work. Just hate to go during work but this place is not open every day. I think I will call them tomorrow and go.

Get to the Dr. Ladyd!!!!

 

[Lady D]

I definitely will as my adenoids which are right below the ears are very tender. And swollen. Not my favorite place to go but I hate feeling bad on a regular basis worse.

Get to the Dr. Ladyd!!!!

Ditto..if it has been going on for more than 2 weeks, you are opening your self up to all kinds of problems! In your state you are very vunerable to disease...get thee to the doctor!

ladybub: I've learned from experience not to let a sinus infection go untreated. you will feel really bad (and extremely tired) for a very long time before you body can heal itself. not a good thing to do to yourself! go to doctor! ;-)

The DR is you friend, call now. Hope you feel better.

And I'm on my 2nd round of antibiotics. Some are tough to get rid of.

I got an appointment for today at 3:15. Cannot go through this all weekend. I know I had pretty well gotten over the first bout of this stuff a few weeks back. Definitely felt better. I think the week of lack of sleep contributed. And I have a funeral I will have to go to either Friday or early next week. My dad's brother passed away of cancer this morning at his home, so I feel I should go to that for sure. But I do not want to go there feeling sick.
