Medical Terminology

I have been out sick most of this past week. Fighting being able to breathe at night without coughing up a lung by sitting sleeping upright. Making sure that I have a snot rag handy for the 2am run of the noses. Making sure there is a clear line from the bed to the bathroom so that I can make it to the toilet before I wet myself or the bed from coughing so hard.

Of course having to listen to everyone say to me, "Oh you look terrible!" You should be in bed asleep. I of course kept thinking....Yes I should but I have things to get done and places to go. This will eventually go away. After 4 days though I had had enough. I was not getting any better. I made an appointment with my doctor.

He officially declared that, "You have the Crud." I never knew crud was a medical term. I have found that crud has many symptoms and you don't have to have all the symptoms to have the crud. Aside from coughing, runny nose, fever, lack of sleep at night, headaches, chills, hot flashes, stomach cramping, diarrhea, gas, constipation, being thirsty, yet not hungry, when you are hungry you aren't really, bloating; I pretty much have been feeling fine. But yet when I think about all these symptoms I have just diagnosed myself with the flu, PMS, Menopause, Sleep Apnea, Salmonella, kidney or bladder infection. Im sure I could come up with more but that is all I can think of at the moment. It couldnt have anything to do with prostate since Idont have that body part.....Oh wait!! ***Checking***...Nope, Nope...I don't have that body part. Phew I had myself worried for a moment there....LOL

I will be back with more about the weekend and last week as well as this upcoming week soon.
