And Again…

I’m sick yet again and this time I know how I got sick. One of my younger cousins came to visit this weekend and was sick but I didn’t know until her father (my uncle) told me after she’d went home. I knew I was going to be sick and it ended up being really bad and I had to go to the hospital for a severe asthma attack. It sucks because just when I think everything is going to be alright and I’m going to be better, I get sick again. For those of you who read my livejournal, you know the history of my health and why I’m always sick. I really just want a sick-free summer and to be happier all around. My mood has definitely changed a lot and I’m not nearly as moody as I used to be, that much I can say. This is just a small update letting you guys know what’s been going on with me. I will be back some other time to give a better update when I’m feeling better.

I’m not sure if I’m the only one this is happening to… but has anyone noticed the excessive amount of spam that wordpress has been getting? I was using two spam plugins but the comments were still getting by. Even though they are getting sent to spam, it’s still annoying to login and see these comments. I’ve just uploaded a new spam plugin and I guess I will see what happens.

    I haven’t received any spam, but I believe one of David’s blogs was recently spammed. WordPress has a love/hate relationship with its users. I’m sorry you’re sick! I had a stomach virus last week and it was terrible. I was so mad. I hope you feel better soon.

    Wow. How rough. Getting sick caused the asthma attack? You poor thing!

    I haven’t noticed an increase amount of spam, but I haven’t blogged in a while so I’m probably out of the loop.

    Omg, severe asthma attack? Not good. Hope you get better soon.

    And the same thing has been happening to me. I had a Spam Protection program but it doesn’t work anymore since I updated WordPress to 2.8 and now I get like tons of spam each day. It’s crazy.

    ‘m so sorry to hear about you getting sick. I am an asthmatic too so i know that once one little thing happens the asthma usually gets set off too. Which makes it that much harder to recover in a timely manner. But i’ll keep you in my prayers =) Glad to hear bout your mood improving.

    I know of a lot of people having the same spam problem. I think its because the wordpress people are so busy making a new updated version every two weeks that they cannot keep up with making their system spam-proof. let me know how that new pluggin works.

    i hope you feel better girl. i always wind up getting sick because someone in my family decides to bring it home lol =\ i just tell them to stay away from me. i cannot afford taking off from work psh.

    i guess since i barely use my site i never get the spam comments. from novemeber to now i had like 2.

    I really hope you feel better. I used to be sick quite often as well due to my anemia. As you may know, anemia causes you to be weak and cold all the time which in turn made me want to sleep all time. I was quite moody. After I became pregnant with my children both times, the anemia went away. Now, I think it’s back.

    I’m using greymatter and I was going through my archives and on one of my posts, I had 56 comments! What spam software did you install?

    I thought it was seriously my installation of WordPress that was bugging out on me, and causing me to get so many spam comments. Unfortunately, there’s really no way to stop it, no matter how many spam plugins you have. Guess some people have nothing better to do, then spam your site, and find ways to do it. *sigh*

    Hope you start feeling beter soon. Being sick is definitely not fun. :(
