I was able to sleep better last night but the bumps are spreading. I even started taking 10mg x3/day of Prednisone to try to reduce the blisters and swelling but that hasn't shown to be of much use.
The skin on hands is tight and blistered, looks like I got poison oak and heat rash at the same time.
Then I am one of the 5-10%ers who get it other places than just hands, feed and mouth....
But at least from an overall feeling, I don't feel as horrible today, I think the tide is finally changing on this one.
Well I don't get the flu or colds BUT I have been staying home because of a bad back for almost 3 years now! and im sick of sitting home while my dredges sit out in my trailer! this summer im going to TRY to rectify that and try to get out and dredge. if that don't work, (regrettably)all of my equipment will be sold or disposed of!
Back pain is only next to tooth pain for me, I am sorry to hear that you are going through that.
Mine is weight related (Gotta PROSPECT MORE!) and I can usually make the most of it go away with 4-6 ibuprofen.
Now I don't smoke, drink or anything like that (Never have, never will) but I have friends out here in Kali that use Medical MJ extracts high in CBC's and low to non existent levels of THC that work wonders for their sore backs. Of course it doesn't fix the problem, but as a natural and non liver killing medicine with no psychoactive effects, its been great for them. 2016 is when it comes up for legalization in Missouri.
Yep... kids in school are basically germ incubators and superchargers....I take airborne and zicam as soon as I feel even a little off. I have to ask though how the he!! did you get foot and mouth disease?
AYUP! I have never been so sick in my life as I have been when I had kids at school age! lol
I will try the airborne and zicam treatments next time.
Sorry to hear about your "Hoof an Mouth,"
Things will get better.
lol, my hands are on their way to becoming hoofs, lol.
For sure, luckily its a fairly short lived virus.
Hope you feel better from all those "diseases" sounds like you got it terribly bad. Hope you feel better soon so you can go out again. Get lots of rest.
Ayup, few adults show symptoms this, even fewer get it in the places that I have it.
Thanks for the best wishes, I want to go out so badly on Saturday because its the only decent day for 10 more days.
A little over a week ago, the small of my back sent me a little message. NP I think, it hasn't bothered me in years...I'll power on thru it like I always do. Unfortunately, the "more power" I applied, the worse it got (T day was THE worst and my mom and wife had back problems as well...pretty grumpy day but fed the pain and drank the pain reliever). Finally had to go old school and sit, stand, stretch, walk, repeat. Yesterday was pain free...FINALLY. S***! I have panning of good cons do to...but that was when it all started so maybe today, a little panning. Sucks getting old(er).
Yup, getting older sucks for some of us. I am 32 and havnt taken the best care of my body so I get back pain a lot thanks to being overweight. I just take my Ibuprofen and power through too.
Glad to hear that you got some relief though, panning always makes my back sore too, makes my skinny friends backs sore as well. When its warm I just sit in the water and pan, using the water to float the pan and take most of the weight off. Panning at home though, your always stooped over the tub and the pain can start up again.
btw...when I moved here I got sick all the time. A type of stomach flu mostly...yech. I started to use a hand sanitizer EVERY time I came in contact with other people. Agreed, a little OCD, but I haven't been "sick" since.
Flu and cold have been my major illnesses this year, I guess I was due for something a little worse... lol
Sorry to hear you're feeling so rotten Eric. I'm one of those "lucky" people that just don't get sick to often but when I do it's baaadddd! I'm more prone to injuries than sickness. I did run into some bug (insect type) out here that bit me and I had a bad reaction to it. I ended up with weeping sores all over my body and it itched like
!!. I hope that having had a reaction like that to it once will keep me from reacting like that should I get bit again, but I'm not going to test that if I can help it!.
We have some gnarly mosquitos out here that cause huge lumps that weep, nasty little blood suckers.
Its become such a problem that the county sends out trucks driving by bodies of water and neighborhoods spraying this chemical mist in the air, supposedly to stop them, or to make US infertile or die sooner, dunno. lol
Before kids, I only got sick once or twice a winter and it usually was on the more severe side too.
