DID and getting the flu...

Well, we have the flu. it's day 2.

we have been really switchy; sorta like a gently rocking boat. alternating who's fronting between 3 of us. so it seems too that our symptoms are changing too. one of us seems to have a sore throat. then the throat ache is gone. then it's back. we feel a bit better for an hour and start a household task, only to be interrupted midway with sudden 'nope;' muscles give way and need to be relaxed, etc. we plopped onto the floor for about ten minutes while doing the simple task of getting a lightbulb out of a lower cupboard in the kitchen.

it feels though like if we were to find an alter who is definitely flu-free (if one of us even is,) and switch to them fronting, it'd be a negative thing; like the virus isn't going to run its course properly. or maybe it would; maybe the body itself would heal and we would spare ourselves the misery of symptoms. but if that happens, we won't know the real severity and could possibly have it get too bad; beyond the point where we would, say, have to go to hospital.

we do not lose-time; we do get moments of total switch where one of us will, say, do the dishes and then later on we walk in the kitchen and say 'oh; one of us did the dishes already,' but then if we think on it, we do remember doing them. we don't do things that are self-harmful.

we hate the flu; lol. luckily we have been able to take some days off work.

I wouldn't trust that an alter who feels okay actually is okay. Odds are, they are just dissociated from the body. The body is still fighting a virus. So stay home and rest.

I get a little superstitious with it making everyone ail when symptoms start and making sure that I can't snap out of it before conceding to the bed. I'd try a man as well who might appear stronger when ailing... Poor thing try to feel better
