the beginning of the middle

i am really bad at being sick. i am heading into week two of my stupid cold and still no signs of sunnier lungs on the horizon. i never notice other people suffering through colds as long as i do. i am not sure if it is because of some defect in my constitution, or if i simply wear my misery on my sleeve moreso than the average afflicted. either option, when boiled down to a sticky resin, is an unpleasant reality. cough suppressants, decongestants, chicken soup, vitamin c, lozenges, tea, honey, hot hot showers, long naps, weird dreams. i am weary of my cold. and do not like the idea that i am a whiny cold sufferer, regardless of the mettle of my constitution.

sounds agonizing. try cutting out the decongestants and just try to hydrate yourself constantly with water, not tea, tea leeches your precious moisture. you want to be moist.

If it hangs around longer than a week or so, you might have some kind of virus or bronchial infection. See a doctor and ask for a Z pack.

cold medicine prolongs colds. also yeah you might want to get checked out.

There has been some really weird colds going on this year--5 people I work with got sinus infections that took 4 weeks to go away--myself included. Talking with other friends in DC and NYC, I hear similar stories. Take care of yourself and if you have blood in your mucus or if it's a bad bad color (brown or green) go to the doc.

There's megadosing on itamin C, B Complexes, and FOLIC ACID.

I haven't had the seasonal illness that is routine for me, Fall 06 or anything currently.

OTC meds, I hate to say, really have no clinical effectiveness. Menthol and asprin or another NSAID, but you don't need a cold medicine for that.

hey, thanks for the advices. i went to the doctor when my nose started bleeding profusely. "posterior nose bleed". kind of sucked. i think i am going to live though. someone should invent the nasal enema though.
