I've been sick as hell since December and I'm only just clearing a third sickness. When December came, my lower back went totally on the fritz. I never missed a day of work but I was in major pain and after 3 weeks, I still had it although it had faded a lot. By Christmas, it was almost gone. But things like bending, looking down, rolling over in bed, etc. could cause acute twinges and flashes of sharp pain. It was easier to stand than sit.

After it faded out by January, my elbow began to ache considerably and then I was struck by a week long bout of nausea and listlessness. Didn't feel sick the way a flu does, I could work and I even continued to work out. I forced myself to eat but had severe runs--for a week. Then I woke up and it was gone but my elbow was so sore that I couldn't bend it.

Then here in February, I get a dull pain between my shoulders, my elbow starts to feel really tender and then I start feeling "achey" all over and then come down with a terrible head cold and no energy--no working out this time but at least no diarrhea.   Saturday was torture. Couldn't stay up without tiring, couldn't lay down long without my back and chest getting sore and I'd have to get up again. All through the night--up and down, up and down. It was horrible. Only today, did I finally go back to work but I'm still not 100%--I can still feel it a little. My elbow is sore but appears to be getting better.

I hope that's it. I don't need anymore. I can't remember getting ambushed like this before. Uncle! Truce! Surrender! Whatever! Just stop already! Give me back my health, you sons of bitches!
