STATE OF FLUX


Oh Joy! The flu! Again!
I've got another piper down for the count.
Son #2, Parker, has now come down with the flu. Poor little guy is exploding from all orifices.

And me?
Well, let's just say i'm on high alert and carefully watching for any signs that i am starting to FLURX...


FLURX -
[Floo-herx] {floo-HERX}
(est. March 2009; recently discovered phenom occuring in humans)
  • a combination of the flu and a herxheimer reaction (aka Herx)

TO FLURX
  • to simultaneously exhibit signs and symptoms of an active bout of both the flu and a herxheimer reaction

FLURXING
  • to be actively engaged in the process of surviving the effects of a flurx

FLUX - [fluks]
  • continuous change or instability
  • life with lyme

STATE OF FLUX
  • a state of uncertainty or instability
  • to constantly wonder whether one is experiencing a herx or a flurx

I've just spent this last week herxing.
legitmately herxing.
at least i'm pretty sure i've been dealing with a real herx and not a flurx.

at least i think
but i'm not sure
maybe or maybe not

one thing i know for sure
i'm most definitely in a state of flux
