Laryngitis/ tonsillitis

What a combo. I just left the doc and that's what I've been diagnosed with.

I feel super lightheaded. Ugh...

I feel like I work myself too much. I'm only eating once or maybe twice a day... no nutrients. Not enough water. And I dont sleep enough. All due to work.

I know that and the combo of the laryngitis and tonsillitis guess its starting to take a toll on me.

Idk guys. Just needed to vent

I do not understand you not taking care of yourself, if it were your child or someone you love you would take good care of them. So I challenge you, love yourself and take good care of you, why suffer needlessly? I have had those complaints in the past, my Dr. always told me to rest, not talk, suck hard candy, drink soup, take your med's, and keep warm. So that is my challenge, I want you well. Sending love, peace and big hugs......Sprinkle 1.....

If I had a different job I definitely would. But unfortunately I work nightshift and I'm sacrificing a lot of what I never thought I would have

I worked the night shift for many years. You have to have a routine. Taking care of yourself is even more important for off shift workers. Our bodies are challenged enough by the hours alone.

Why can't you drink easter during your shift? There is plenty of time to eat appropriately and get exercise working this shift.

You need to take care of yourself, your body is telling you something.

dbeck, use this time to get better. Pamper yourself, you deserve it .

Get better soon. P.S. I have a tendency to get Laryngitis whenever

I get sick. Besides all the things that Sprinkle advised which I do, I also

inhale with steam to keep the vocal chords lubricated. xx
