Thanks Ya'll!! Sorry yall have this too - I Have a 2 and a 3 year old, so they are constantly bringing germs home.. I work around germs too, but I stay pretty protected when I'm out and about (I'm a hand sanitizer freak)! But I just can't miss out on my snuggles and time with the kids when they are sick - I want to take care of them- the airborne respiratory illnesses is usually what gets me infected.... This time I had hormones, work and this illness all at once.. I feel awful..

I feel like when I cough I'm going to strain/pull my abdominal muscles they feel so weak... my pulse rate also goes up to at least the 120's when I am sick like this.. when I'm walking around or something.. And, I just have to avoid looking at mirrors as my face looks like it is melting off my skull! Pretty!

I am not on immunosuppressants, but they are talking about cellcept or immuran.. I'm too terrified that a common cold will then make me super sick and could land me in the hospital again.. so I'm trying to avoid them for now..
