As someone who maybe in her life has pulled a couple of sickies claiming "a really bad sore throat", and then proceeded later that day to sympathetically develop a really bad sore throat (I'm not psychic so go figure!), I am trying to be wary of a myriad of minor sensations my brain thinks might be symptoms.
Gassy and bloated... could be too much ginger beer (we finally got a fridge 2 weeks ago after the last one broke)
Minor abdominal pain... aching muscles after holding in bloated tummy due to embarrassment of its size
Feeling dizzy for 2 seconds... me getting out of bed too quickly (and early!) this morning.
But, having finally convinced my brain to stop informing me of every little ache and pain (for the time being), I then go and get a metallic taste in the mouth... I look in the mirror and see my gum is bleeding.
Rather than thinking, "damn, I really should have flossed last night", I think: "OMG!! A symptom! A SYMPTOM I tell you!". To be fair I don't ever remember my gums bleeding of their own accord, but then again maybe this gingivitis has taken a turn for the worse.
If AF turns up at the end of next week, I am gonna have to book an appointment with dentist... and same head to the gym/start drinking those yoghurt drinks to get rid of this stupid bloated tummy!!
Well, there's my story for this morning.
Anyone else going through the same thing??
