Yesterday I woke up in incredible pain. I was holding back tears. My tongue was so sore and irritated and my TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) pain was debilitating. I dropped the kids off to their respective care facilities and went into the walk-in clinic. I have Hand, Foot and Mouth disease! The adult form. Now I can greater empathize with my kid who had it before me and who I got it from. Trust me, you don't want to get this! I can't eat because my tongue has sores all over it. It is hard to swallow and talk, and because of my TMJ pain it is hard to chew.
So I got some pain killers for the TMJ pain and instruction to use oragel for the mouth sores. Let me tell you the oragel isn't cutting it.
So maybe I am not allergic to avocado, that is a good thing. It was just a coincidence that this sickness was coming on right when I was eating a lot of it. I'll try it again after this sickness passes and we will see for sure.
The worst part of this whole thing is that I think my husband has caught Hand, Foot, and Mouth too! If he progresses and starts to feel as much pain as I am in, I know he will be miserable to deal with. As I have been these last couple of days. I was super cranky with the kids this morning and it isn't their fault I am in so much pain. I will need to make it up to them.
