SO FUCKING ITCHY: A Girl's Journey With Mono

Word to the wise: if your doctor checks you for strep and the test comes back negative, make sure they don't give you antibiotics just for the hell of it.

Aparently those with Mono who take an antibiotic (amoxicillin) because they've been misdiagnosed by doctors, tend to get a full-body rash that makes you look like a lumpy red pickle and essentially is so itchy you wan't to kill yourself.

IT GETS BETTER!

There's nothing you can do for the itch.

I've tried a million different things. I've almost gone through a whole box of Benadryl pills in less than 2 days.

I've even sat on the floor naked wrapped in a soaking wet, ice-cold towel in hopes of relieving the itch.

I can hardly even type this right now because I'm itching so fucking bad.

I can't even remember the last time I've slept.

OH! And lets not forget that my face is swollen and nasty. At least its not red and blotchy anymore like the rest of my body, so I guess that's a plus.

So yeah...Don't let your doctor give you an antibiotic when you have Mono because I assure you, you WILL wan't to kill yourself.

sick status

The only thing that can possibly make me feel better is a nice pint of Double Fudge Brownie Ben&Jerry's.

Sick and delusional

I have not been feeling well the past couple of days.

It feels like every limb of mine is going to drop to the floor any second. Even my hands hurt. Either I'm getting premature arthritis or something is seriously wrong. That and the fact that my temperature is over 100 degrees.

I legitimately only got an hour and a half of sleep tonight. I've been up since 3am and don't see myself going to bed anytime soon.

Here's where my dilemma comes into play.

Its sunday and I'm supposed to work today.

Definitely not happening.

I am DREADING calling out because I can tell they secretly hate everyone who does so.

Which is STUPID because they literally have 389247283 people working there every day.

They don't need me there! But I just can't help but feel guilty, even when I'm actually sick!

Wish me luck in calling them.

My heart is already pounding.

Awkward

Do you ever wish you were someone else? Not only because maybe someone else's life is better than yours, but maybe it's because they have something that you don't have.

My only wish is that I wasn't so fucking awkward.

like....you'll never meet a mor socially inept person than me.

People feel awkward just being in my presence.

I just met my boyfriend's friends, might I add, there were only like....4 other people there with us....and I WAS SO FUCKING AWKWARD.

Why is he even dating me. Seriously, right now he's probably talking to his friends about how stupid and awkward I am. Like....I wouldn't even wanna date a person like me.

Meeting new people is a huge issue for me. I can hardly even manage a shift at the Bucket without having a mental social-anxiety breakdown.

I'm just so done right now.

I'm going to go hide under my bed for the rest of my life.

Maybe that way I can eventually forget that this night ever happened.

You should probably go live in a bubble..

WHY are you always sick..?
Like, seriously?

I mean.... It is pretty easy to get sick when you don't do ANYTHING besides sit around my house, which ISN'T YOURS and eat all of our food.

Damn, you have a rough life.

Invest in some hand sanitizer or something..?

You can buy a small bottle for like, a dollar at RiteAid.

Oh yeah,

AND DON'T COME HERE!!

Seeing you wrapped up in that blanket right now like you're a fucking burn victim infected with every disease known to man makes me wanna slap you across the face a thousand times over.

Seriously cannot fucking stand you.

Magic Genie

Do you ever wish that everyone was granted 3 wishes to sustain them throughout life?

I do.

I'm especially wanting this to be true right now as I wait to go to work.

My wish as of now would be to get called out today.

I don't even care if that is a shitty wish.

I'll be willing to throw this wish away.

I just want to curl up in my bed and sleep.

That is all.

They Call Me Sloth

I am BEYOND pissed.

First of all, I had to work tonight which never happens on a Thursday.

Second of all, I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to cats.

So many people brought in their cat hair infested reusable bags today, that I could hardly function.

I found a massive hairball on this one lady's bag.

When I got outta work my eyes were itching like crazy.

Then, Sam so politely pointed out that my eye was insanely swollen.

Its disgusting to even look at.

I popped a few Claritin and have ice on it now, but this is what I look like.

 

pray for me. dont wanna look like this when i wake up. I WILL CRY.
