I Think I'm Sick....
Yesterday I was feeling kind of sluggish and my knees were aching (we had rain move in). Then last night before I went to bed, I got chilled so bad I thought I was going to shake my skin right off my bones. I got another blanket out and it took like what seemed forever for me to quit shaking. I finally fell asleep (I went to bed at 10) and now, it's 2:30 AM and I'm wide awake. If I stay under the blankets, I get really hot, but as soon as I pull them off, I start getting the chills again. I also have a rattle when I let breathe out. My chest aches too. Whatever this is...sure hope it's gone soon. This shaking makes all my joints hurt. Man....getting older and not feeling well sucks!

Uh-Oh Janet, it does sound like you're getting sick! You must have had some fever. Take good care of yourself, and don't wait too long to go to the doctor if you get worse.

Chest rattles are NOT GOOD JANET! If it gets any worse - GET TO THE DOCTOR - or just GO NOW! My friend's husband just got out of the hospital with pneumonia. He's a healthy 50-something so chest rattles are nothing to ignore!

The rattling seems to have moved up to my throat. Just can't clear it out. I got home from my route around 8:30 and went straight to bed. Slept on and off till after 11. I was wanting to call the dr, but he is out on Wednesdays so if I'm not better tomorrow...he'll be my first phone call. I've gotten to be a big baby when I get sick now. Don't like it......not one little bit!!

You certainly are NOT a baby!! I think a person should go to the doctor when they are sick. Why spend weeks feeling bad waiting for something to go away when you could go to the doctor, take medicine and get well? You sure don't want to be sick during the holidays!

I'm pretty much the opposite - I NEVER go to the doctor. Being a nurse though, I usually know when something is serious or not.
But a rattle in the chest is nothing to mess with, it could be very serious, especially in the winter.
