I’ve been feeling really awful and low energy lately.
- However, I did not realize that I was sick until I understood how much colder I felt than everyone else in my house.
I couldn’t keep warm no matter the number of blankets I piled on top of me. I kept turning off the air conditioner, but then, of course, someone else would turn it back on. After a few fights, I realized that I was the one who had the biggest problem with the temperature. Everyone else wanted the cool a/c, so that’s how I knew I was sick. I tried to find a thermometer laying around, but was not successful. I ended up taking some over-the-counter medications. I also locked myself in my room with the a/c vents closed, and turned on the little section furnace I own. Then, I layed down in front of it. The hot air felt so cozy and I was finally able to fall asleep. After waking myself a few hours later, I was incredibly hot. I turned off the sectional furnace and stripped down to my bra and shorts before going back out into the main room to enjoy the a/c once again. I got some suspicious looks from my roommates, however I didn’t care. I know they started to realize how sick I was. This went on all evening. I would be frosty and desperate for the furnace and blankets, but then I would be super hot and need some air. Thankfully, my fever broke early in the morning. Now I can finally relax with the respected air settings.
