Wrote a nice, long post on Sunday and it disappeared on me - oopsie.
I have a good excuse, Aidan and are sick... AGAIN!!!!
He came down with 'hand, foot and mouth disease', a very common but scary sounding virus that causes cold like symptoms but also has a distinctive rash - small blisters on the hands, feet and... you guessed it... mouth. Anyway, a funny story really, I went to the doctors about my sore throat and she diagnosed tonsilitis. Aidan was with me and I happened to mention that I thought he was allergic to vegemite as he came out in these funny blisters. She took a look at him and told me about the virus, I had never heard of but amazingly it is the second most common kids sickness to the cold, I guess it's a 'only Mums know' thing, well, now I know. He got over it pretty quick and besides lots of snot (tmi, sorry), he is all better (and yes, I felt like a very bad Mummy not knowing my little man was even sick). ANYWAY... guess who broke out in these spots one day after the doctor visit - me. They are SOOOO excruciatingly painful, these huge blisters in my mouth, I cant eat (great way of losing weight, haha?) and I feel very sorry for myself with a high fever to boot. I think the worst is over (it's been 5 days of hell), but I aint holding my breath.
So there you go, I wonder if any other Mums are experiencing this, the doctor says it is going round in Melbourne, I have had to quarantine myself at home for awhile now and haven't been to mothers group in 2 weeks.
