Me and my imaginary immune system
Well actually I reckon it is there and reasonably active at the moment. Although not in a good mood with me.
Currently my immune system is fighting wars on all fronts.
I have a tummy bug which is making me sick and not helping me maintain anything like a reasonable appetite. On top of that I have cut my lip open (bitten it about 7 of 8 times in the past 4 days - once it is swollen the chances of biting it again increase exponentially!) so they are fighting all sorts of bugs off there. Summer has kicked in with a vengence (No sun :( :( ) and my lungs are playing havoc - on top of that my boyfriend and my sister seem to have a caugh, so even if I havn't contracted it I am still fighting yet more bugs.
I am sleeping well periodically, but in a near constant state of fatigue which means I am in glasses for almost everything an cease to be functional at around 6pm. Headaches and dizziness have become a standard state of affairs.
And I have just let the nurse inject me with (I'm assuming dead) forms of Hep B. Which REALLY hurt.
Anyway... that can't please it as now it also has the task of making me lots of Memory T and B lymphocytes for that as well...
Might go and find some neurofen in a moment, but I am living off the stuff.
Either way, I have decided to give me immune system a hand. Firstly by remembering to *take* all my asthma drugs and anti-histamine. Secondly by drinking enough water. Thirdly by putting bonjella on my lip - reduces swelling so less likely to bite it! Fouthly by taking in sufficient Vitamin C / Mg / Ca etc... (mostly orange juice so far :P although I intend to stew some apples in cinnamon for lunch). Finally I have on my desk a large mug of strong, sweet coffee that I fully intend to finish drinking,
This is just a comfort thing
