Gah! I hate being sick. I especially hate being sick for long periods at a time.
Backstory: I got a cold at Christmas. No surprise, b/c though I get sick rarely, it always seems to happen on a holiday, usually Christmas. Got a bit better over the next few days, and the cold seemed to run it’s course. However, it never fully went away. My roommate got sick mid-january, so I got the cold again, which never really fully went away (again). It left me with sniffles and a bit of a cough w/ intermittent sore throat for a few weeks.
Now, it seems to be coming back out of nowhere! I feel like I’m actually getting sicker again - yesterday, I felt feverish and a little out of it. I took some cold medicine, felt better, went to bed and today I feel the same. Feverish, a little out of it, and crappy. Tylenol cold is my savior.
I don’t get it! I’m healthy, I don’t have a lot of physical contact w/ people at work, I’ve been working out, taking vitamins, eating right, and sleeping 7-8 every night! GAH! Body, heal thyself, dammit! I’m giving you everything you need, now use it!
I’ve been thinking about going to a doc, I’ve just been busy too, and I just got insured so I don’t have a GP yet (yeah, I know, no excuse, it’s my health, etc.) Every time I really think about going, I start to get better, then I forget about it, then get sick again! Bastard cold…
*This is the cold that never ends,
it just goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started sneezing it
not knowing what it was,
and we’ll continue sneezing it forever just because…
Yep, time for a doc. It could be a bacterial infection, easily cleared up with antibiotics and wouldn’t you feel silly for suffering any longer than you have?
