Interesting how the Thursday morning after my Wednesday post (I had a bad sinus headache, plus not feeling great), I woke up with flu! not the corona virus but we think of that now, right? I was so very dizzy that I actually passed out on a trip to the bathroom. Body aches, chills, headache, classic flu. A day in bed with lots of sleep and water helped, so by Friday, yesterday, I felt better. My MD made me come in for a checkup; theory is that my heavy sinus/allergy congestion contributes to inner ear issues which contributes to the dizziness, yet they haven't offered any treatment that helps. I just take maintenance things to minimize the effects. Today, Saturday, I am feeling better. I am convinced the way we eat greatly diminishes the effect of illness on us.
I am finally hungry in 2 days, so oatmeal sounds good to me. So does veggie soup which I'll make later. I can't 'stomach' my beans or veggie chili just yet. And I can eat the mashed potatoes with peas and corn.
I volunteer in an elementary school (aka germ factories) and despite the flu vaccine, this is my 2nd bout with flu. I am going to stop the work, much as I like working with the kids. It's just not worth the exposure.
Hope you are all happy and healthy! Marsha
