F L U *Updated

Manic's got it.

And I don't think you want to hear about the violent wretching and heaving from all day yesterday, so I'll refrain, but it was one of those episodes where I would wake, heave, dry-heave, then pass back out into the deepest sleep, then be frozen cold, then sweaty hot.

Not fun. Still feeling lethargic today, but I will have the contest winner in the next day or so!

****

So now Hubby and I are second-guessing it was the flu and wondering if I have some sort of chemical imbalance? We went on Friday night, and this I swear--I only had three normal sized glasses of white wine at a party, and within 3-1/2 hours, and I alternated water with wine (just like the big man Jesus did once).

But I was S I C K. I was vomitting/vomiting (one or two Ts? Oh hell--I WAS PUKING) my guts out uncontrollably, and vascillating between the sweats and freezing to ripping off my t-shirt (get your minds out of that gutter!), and then back to scrunching up into the fetal position trying to keep warm.

What is the matter with me?

I know it wasn't a hangover because I ate normally, more than normally on Friday, and (if you don't want to read gross parts, well, you're too late...) none of the vomit had food in it -- it was just the stomach acidy stuff.

I don't know, I don't have a clue. I did start my period today, which is about a hundred and four days late, and if I wasn't forthemostpart abstinent, I would have been freaking that I was pregnant.

I'm 37, am I too young for these changes? Hubby wondered if my anti-depressants mixed with the little alcohol I had was the culprit... HELLOOO? Three glasses of wine! And I have lowered my Effexor intake since the first of the year, granted, my patience is way thin, but still...

I wish there was an internal notice or something that pops up onto your body that says:

Hangover
Flu
Virus
Cold
Fever
Chemical Imbalance
Hormonal Imbalance
You're-Just-Getting-Your-Period Imbalance
You-Can't-Even-Enjoy-Three-Glasses-Of-Wine Imbalance
None of the Above
All of the Above
You-Are-A-Screwed-Up-Mess

In other Tukey news, he and Diva are drawing pictures, and singing songs, and he just drew a picture for the girl he is in love with in junior kindergarten and Diva asked if he wanted to give it to her (her name is Carly --the note says, I LOVE CARLY--and she is the most adorable, sweetest little girl--I would love her for a daughter-in-law)... and he was all excited to give her a love note and exclaimed:

"Yay!!! I have a true love!"

The exact thing happened to me last month. I hosted a swanky 50th b-day party for DH at an equally swanky place. (It cost $2500) Limo, everything went perfectly. I FORGOT to eat during the party, drank champagne and beer. Got home, stripped naked, laid on the bathroom floor dying, and hugged the porcelin god for about an hour, woke up naked. Felt like college.

Oh well, probably better off not reliving that post.
