Awk.......just sick

songbird — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 12:31:33 GMT

Started two days ago. That thing in the back of your throat. Now it's attacked my nose and sinus. I'm home from work. Can't even talk. It not flu. I don't have a fever....just a bad cold. Praying it's not sinusitis. I had it years ago, and have never forgotten it. I'm constantly washing and sanitizing my hands. Don't want to give to husband or son.

So sorry you are not feeling well Songbird1. Get plenty of rest and try to drink as much water/tea as you can. Feel better!

@songbird, sorry you're not feeling well. I feel your pain. I have COPD and now also have bronchitis. I'm so sorry of feeling like ****** all the time. Hope you're up and about soon.

@songbird

One suggestion:

If you haven't had the influenza vaccination yet this year try to get one when this respiratory issue clears up. Even if the vaccine is only partially effective for this years' viral mutation, it is better than being non-immunized.

I did receive my vaccine last year, but developed Influenza A with bronchitis in April, landing me in the hospital for three days, and off work for three weeks.

I have never been so ill in my entire life.

dee

ETA: wishing you a speedy recovery! Lots of fluids, lots of rest.

Hey Songbird1, I can hear you creaking from here!
Seriously I hope you get better soon. Drink water and hot tea and rest. If it isn't better soon,well that means Doctor time.
Hot tea might help soothe your throat. Take care!

Actually feeling much better. Not going in to work again today. Running out of Kleenex (been using it so much) But...that horrible thing in the back of the throat is gone. And no sore throat. Coughing more. Don't know if that is good or bad, but I'm coughing up phlegm that is colorless. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. Just using cough medicine (off the counter) And no fever. LOL. I feel like I'm bathng in hand sanitizer.

@deedledeedeedle The university is scheduled to give out vacanations next week. So I'll get it there. I get it every year without fail. We have thousands of students here in the library. Students get it too. Family memebers can get it too. So my husband gets his there too.
