Well its my birthday today and i feel like crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was my 2 yr olds bday on Saturday (put a post on toddler about that).
Basically woke up on Wed and felt terrible......so bad dh took day off work to help look after me and the kids. (He then got told off about it at work the next day). Thurs went to the docs and told had nasty case of tonsillitis...got some antibiotics and mouth wash.....Friday start to feel a bit better but then in the evening start to feel really yukky....vomit and bad tummy, shakes and my mouth swells up, told by gp this is a 'side effect' of the antibiotics!!!! So i stop taking them go and see the emergancy doc on Sat my liitle boys 2nd bday all the plans had to be cancelled and i can't descibe the guilt i feel about that....just think about it still and cry....Anyway start to feel ok on sunday not great though but last night could feelthe throat getting really bad again chills etc.......wake up this morning (well 10 week old baby woke me really but dont mind as she needed a bottle) and feel really crap again like on day one......greay bday pressie...NOT.

Any advice? really don't want to take antibiotics again i HATE HATE HATE being sick (even tried to avoid any drugs in labour as didn't want to be sick) any ideas on how long it will last...would really like to have a 'second' birthday for my lo on Friday to make up for Saturday.
Please help me ladies....go on wave your magic wands!!!! PLEASE
:lol:

Grrr just replied and be ate my post. Poor you that really sucks. Go back to the gp and get some different antibiotics, there must be something else they can give you for it, and stop blaming yourself for Saturday, you didnt get ill on purpose and your little man knows that you love him loads. Sending you hugs, hope you get better soon xxxxxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh hun I know how you feel, I was the same two weeks ago, I had awful tonsilitus etc.
I didnt take any antibiotics either as they always make me poorly so i normally take two paracetamol every 4 hours and drink hot fresh lemon and honey every few hours too. It did help, the painkillers made me able to function and hot drink soothed my throat(well as best they could considering how bad it was!!!)
I couldnt curl up and rest either cos dh was at work and couldnt get time off.
I am better now though so just lots of warm drinks and a snuggle on the sofa if you get chance.
Hope you feel better soon babe, Happy Birthday xxxxxxxxxx

Aww hon happy birthday, dont have any advice except for the usual paracetamol and rest but that might be hard with the lo's
Hope you feel better soon.

thanks for he advice ladies. Luckily dh is home today as he had taken hols to go out for my birthday (we were going to take the kids to the zoo ) so he has told me to rest which is lovely. We are going to have a picnic on the floor in the living room for lunch too lol!!! right my nice cosy warm bed is calling.....xxx

Really sorry you not feeling well hun and on your bday too! Happy birthday btw!!!
Ive got such a dodgy tummy today, had it yesterday aswell. ;( Ended up going to the loo 7 times in one day! In the end I started taking pepto bismol and that has calmed my tummy down. Drinking water also helps and Im trying not to eat too much today so Im bloody starving But it def helping!
Hope you manage to get some rest hun and enjoy your bday as much as you can x x x x x
