Doctor please...
I woke up on Sunday and I was pretty tired. That isn't too unusual especially when the kids were up a lot during the night. As the day progressed I never really gained any energy. I decided to take Watson out for his walk in hopes of reviving myself with fresh air. By the time I got back home I was a train wreck. I got home, took Watson collar off and climbed into bed. My body had started to ache and I was exhausted. As the afternoon wore on I went through the chills and sweats. Jason tried to keep the kids entertained even though he was tired too so that I could get some rest. Yesterday when I woke up I knew there was no way I could take care of the kids so I asked Jason to work from home. It is so nice that his company is so flexible. By the afternoon I was at least functioning so Jason could be on conference calls from 3-6. Today, even though I am feeling a lot better than yesterday, I decided I should see a doctor. After texting a couple friends to find out who they use for doctors I ended up going to a private clinic. By private clinic I mean one I have to pay for instead of one that would be covered by my VZP insurance. Feeling so poorly I didn't care as long as someone would see me today and tell me what is wrong. My biggest fear is that it would be tick-borne encephalitus. I know that it was a stretch that t could be that but after having lyme disease I'm a little sensitive with tick borne illnesses. I was happy to hear the doctor tell me that my illness wasn't from a tick. I just have a stomach virus. He gave me some pills to take called Endiaron which is an intestinal disinfectant. At this point I am opting not to take them. If it is a virus nothing is going to help it except time so I don't see a need to put some unknown medicine in my system. I have learned my lesson though. I am going to find a doctor in Dejvice that I can go to and I'm going to get vaccinated for the tick-borne encephalitus. I have just put it off for myself even though I have had the kids vaccinated. No more putting it off. Once I feel better and can spend more than 30 minutes away from bathroom I am going to search down a doctor!!
