For over a month now I have been dealing with symptoms that I assumed were depression. The kind you get when you are alone and moving with 3 kids and a stressed out husband who calls once a week.
I felt good for identifying my symptoms and dealing with them by making sure I worked out, getting outside, and going to church.
Well I was wrong.
A fever developed, fatigue started to set in and my joints became sore I had a bladder infection that spread to my kidneys and into my blood stream.
I am exhausted but feeling better now that I am on antibiotics.
Uyrosepsis isn't something to mess around with and the DR let me know that. I tried explaining that honestly I hadn't felt that bad for past month I just thought I was sad. He was unimpressed and lectured me on taking care of myself for my children.....
Then I tried to explain that even that morning I had gone to the gym and worked out for over an hour trying to fight through the depression.Once again he was unimpressed.
Well now I am feeling a bit better and the bacteria was not antibiotic resistant like they feared.
This couch and I have become very good friends and I don't even feel guilty that I plan to spend the rest of the week on it relaxing and trying to pull it together.
PS now that the antibiotics are working I don't feel "sad" anymore guess that DR was right ;)
