Convalescing
Feb. 16th, 2008 09:00The pain eased abruptly about twenty minutes after I took the tylenol last night -- I still hurt, but I could distinguish individual "voices" in the clamor. About forty minutes after that the fever broke.
I got about twelve hours of broken sleep; my ears are totally stuffed up, my neck is stiff, and my throat still feels bruised, but otherwise I seem to be okay. We'll see whether the pain is gone in an hour or so when the last tylenol wears off.
My eye is swollen, but otherwise fine.
Conclusion: I think this was indeed a CFS crash. I'd forgotten how bad they can get. Let's hope I don't get another one like this for another decade, at least...
For now, I have tea.
