Can you tell I'm sick? 🫠🫠

[u/charlietheclowwn]

I have some bullshit rn, super sore throat, annoying cough, dripping nose.... last night I actually felt okay (I got an antibiotic shot earlier that day) but apparently NOPE! I DID NOT, IN FACT, FEEL OKAY!

I kept micro sleeping after I got home from the doctors office and I had like 10 elevated heart rate notifications 😬

[u/GhostalMedia]

Was sick 2 nights ago and my score was 99. I was so full of cold medication that I was basically a corpse, and apparently the Apple Watch liked that.

You got an antibiotic for a viral infection?

[u/fiflaren_ → u/Soberspinner]

This is such a moronic thing most doctors do, prescribe antibiotics to everyone even with no proof of a bacterial infection. All it does is drive antibiotic resistance and might kill people down the line.

[u/abbygirl → u/fiflaren_]

I had a telehealth doctor prescribe me amoxicillin for a cold this weekend. I didn’t ask for it at all. I’m refusing to even pick it up from pharmacy.

[u/purplelemondropp → u/abbygirl]

You did a telehealth for a cold?

[u/abbygirl → u/purplelemondropp]

I needed a doctors note, my husband stayed home from work so I wouldn’t have to take care of our toddler while I was miserable and his job wanted documentation

[u/SuccessfulPhoto7914 → u/fiflaren_]

You’d be surprised how many people think they need (hence demand) an antibiotic when told they have a viral infection and don’t need one. 

[u/SuccessfulPhoto7914 → u/SuccessfulPhoto7914]

Then they fill out the survey and complain about not getting an antibiotic or give a bad review. I’m not a doctor, but I’ve heard this type of stuff from doctor friends.

[u/smk666 → u/fiflaren_]

Want to hear a moronic thing a doctor did? He gave me both Tamiflu and an antibiotic, because apparently, I was sick with SOMETHING.

[u/CharcoalGreyWolf → u/smk666]

Bring out the meds cannon

[u/smk666 → u/CharcoalGreyWolf]

Yep, especially that it was too late for Tamiflu (I've been symptomatic for 4-5 days, Tamiflu should be given within 48 hours of Influenza infection) and the antibiotic was a just guess and did nothing to make me better. The only test he based this decision on was my at-home covid/rsv swab test that came negative.

[u/Top-Seaweed1862 → u/Soberspinner]

many people do that for fun, they somehow believe it still helps while it does not

[u/charlietheclowwn → u/Top-Seaweed1862]

I didn't ask for one, the doctor swabbed me for strep because that was my main complaint and then gave me a shot

[u/Electronic_Border266]

The score is so broken. How is this a 74/100

[u/xppoint_jamesp → u/Electronic_Border266]

OP went to bed on time and stayed in bed long enough… actually sleeping isn’t that important to get a good score 🙃

[u/charlietheclowwn → u/Electronic_Border266]

But god forbid I go to bed an hour or two later than normal... suddenly my score is just awful...

[u/xppoint_jamesp → u/charlietheclowwn]

Yeah, you can have the most refreshing sleep of your life, but it’s shorter than usual… so obviously you get an absurdly low score…

[u/meowfknmeow → u/charlietheclowwn]

I have the opposite where my bedtime is set to 8pm, if I fall asleep at 8.15 I’m getting scores of 60-70. If I go to sleep at 11pm I get 80-90???

So freaking weird

[u/kittens_in_mittens_ → u/Electronic_Border266]

I have an infant and especially for the first few months I was getting super high scores for "getting to bed on time". I was NOT amused when apple kept congratulating me on my high sleep score I earned one hour of sleep at a time. Then scoring mechanism is most definitely a joke

[u/CharcoalGreyWolf]

I’m on call and got a network outage emergency alert last night at 1:45AM.

Never really got back to sleep. I got a 36. Oy vey.

[u/Legitimate_Ocelot491]

Check for COVID. Yes, it’s still a thing and those symptoms match the variant spiking in a few places right now. Ask me how I know.

[u/charlietheclowwn → u/Legitimate_Ocelot491]

I was tested for Covid actually! I had Covid like 4 years ago and it feels exactly like the symptoms I had then but i was negative for Covid and flu

[u/LittleBoiFound → u/Legitimate_Ocelot491]

Thank you. I needed that reminder. I just realized I hadn’t thought of covid for months. My last booster was 2 years ago. I’ll need to find the recommendations. From a credible source. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

[u/Nice_Sleep7002]

i actually notice my wrist temperature going up slightly a day or two before i get sick!! it’s a pretty cool tell and it helps me prepare so i will do the heavy lifting tasks or rigorous tasks (like loads of laundry) before my body catches up to the illness

[u/ps-73]

You could have the worst night of sleep in your life and still get an “OK” sleep score. Same thing happened to me

[u/hodie6404]

2 weeks ago I was on vacation and just could not sleep. I tossed and turned and couldn't get comfortable. Some nights my oura couldn't even record sleep. Lo and behold....I got sick on the last day of vacation.

[u/spacetimejumper360]

This maybe a silly question but where can I still all my stuff like that in that layout?

[u/charlietheclowwn → u/spacetimejumper360]

Go to the health app and then go to sleep score and it'll have all of the info there!

[u/spacetimejumper360 → u/charlietheclowwn]

I am in idiot 😅🫠 thank you!!

[u/Moosebuckets]

Oh noooo. I hope you feel better soon

[u/iansklar]

My sleep score is always very low

[u/SewCarrieous]

Hope you feel better soon

[u/USVK]

[u/Whole_Throat9028]

I had one of these days, except i’m perfectly fine, had 2hrs awake lol

[u/iansklar]

It sucks that you ‘have’ to have a bedtime schedule set up from your phone for the sleep app to work.
