So I went to the doctors today, after having a scratchy throat for nearly a week which has materialised into a cough then going off my food at the weekend and generally feeling unwell, nausea, temp , headache I went to the GP.
They said I have a virus, checked chest and throat said both ok, throat looked red but definitely no infection there and I have a temperature and all the classic symptoms of a virus which can take up to a couple of weeks to clear.
So I come home and am in floods of tears thinking I have leukemia.
I just feel lousy, the rational side of my brain says I work in an infant school where loads of the kids have been sick, my co worker started with a bad throat the same day as me and came into work today saying she was in bed all day yesterday feeling terrible and is getting by on lemsips. I've been under a lot of stress lately so my immune system has probably taking a hammering but I can't help thinking what if it's not a virus.
I just feel so lousy which I hasten to add has only come on over the last 2-3 days which the nurse said normally happens with viruses but I just can't stop worrying.
Does anyone else think this sounds like a normal virus?
Think it's time to start taking the venalfaxine :(
