Every stinking month when I have that lovely "time of the month" when you feel like crap anyway, I also get sick. As soon as I start with the full blown symptoms and side effects of that, my immune system totally does a nose dive and I catch any and every type of illness that comes within a hundred yards of me. I was getting a runny nose and I knew it was coming. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to try not to get sick. Now I have a runny nose that burns on one side, stopped up on the other side, a sore throat, slight cough, severe stomach cramps, intense back pain, mild headache and generally feel very grumpy. Today is going to suck. I'm still about to attempt to do the one mile walk video because I read somewhere that exercising can help the stomach cramps and back pain. We will see if it does. I need something to pep me up and help get rid of this negative vibe I've got going on. I feel like if I talk to anyone today I will probably bite their head off at the slightest inkling of annoyance. I really need some positive energy. I'll try to muster some up, even though I just feel like sinking down into my sofa with a sweatsuit, some coffee and the remote. I hope my day gets better and I hope that everyone else's day is super positive!
I get sick very easily (and frequently) too, but I never thought about it being linked to that time of the month.
ReplyDeleteDid your workout help at all?
It did seem to help my back a little. The cramps are just not going anywhere today. I took a second dose of B12 to help with my energy and took some iron too. My time of the month is very heavy and I'm quite sure that I am in full blown crazy bad anemia considering I have it anyway. I'll probably keep popping B12 today, as the doc says you can't have too much.
