Rough Day...

The thing I have noticed with having CF is this... I may not be so sick that my body won't move and I am bed bound but that if I feel achy and that exhausted icky feeling then that is a sign. You need to listen to the signs your body is giving you. I totally over analyze now what my body is saying. If I am exhausted than a need to rest. If I am coughing more... than I need to be even more consistent with breathing tx and vest. I am preaching to myself right now because it is not easy to take a break from life and do what my body is in need of. I always feel as though I am not that sick. Well, you don't have to be that sick... you can feel just a little crappy and you need to not to ignore the signals.

thanks to everyone for their input; I do believe it is the flu! My sister had something similar, so I have an appointment on thursday with the CF docs, so we'll see if I'm not better. and erin, I definately bunker down and try to be religious about my meds when I start to feel crappy, so lately I've been doing a good job, but I think you mention a great point -- taking a break from life. I think I just need to do such a thing, and really get back on track. =)

(And I am feeling better, slowly, but better.)
