It's getting to be that time of the year again! Nothing like a bad case of the sniffles to put you in that autumnal spirit!

I've got a runny/stuffy nose and a sore throat to match. I woke up this morning feeling unusually better about it than I had been, thinking, "Hey! Maybe it blew over already...!" Ha. As if. Being able to talk sure would be nice.

So this is usually how it goes. My older sister or my niece and or nephew get sick first and spreads it to everyone...And the first one to usually get it from there? Why of course it's me! Been sick about 3 days, progressively getting worse everyday. It will be about another week and half before i'm good...Bluh.

Welp, after that nonsense I got a cough that's been going for a while now. Thankfully I got an appointment tomorrow.

Got a kidney stone again. Good news is this one is smaller and is not stuck in the kidney like the last one was. Hopefully should pass today. Currently flying on hydrocodons.

I don't know what's up as regards the actual illness I have just now, but the symptoms are nasty enough - splitting headache, sore throat and I'm running a temperature. My forehead isn't hot enough yet to fry an egg but it's getting there.

Needless to say I'm missing at least two meetings this week because I really don't want to pass whatever contagion I have on to anyone else.

I am recovering from being sick the last couple if days. I rarely ever get sick and when I don't never lasts for very long. But some people still think I am sick even tho I am not. sad

Ya, I'm weird like that...

Seems to be this time of year again - currently running a high temperature, sweating like a pig, splitting head ache, sore throat, and last night I coughed so badly I actually stopped breathing for a few seconds because my windpipe went into vapor lock. Don't know what the problem actually is - could be flu, could be a cold. Whatever it is, it sucks.

edit. sod it, much as I like listening to Fleetwood Mac on my PC, my head hurts too much and I'm too tired to carry on with it. Bedtime, and hopefully this time I'll sleep for a bit.

Feeling really under the weather this week. Had to endure coughing and sneezing... ugh. No fun at all, especially when my throat gets sore from the coughs.

Still feeling terrible. Not coughing as much as last week, but instead I may have sinus issues. sad

I seem to have this... condition? Where I get a headache and sore throat, and feel like I'm starting to get a cold, but never do. Note sure what's up with that. I've been tested for allergies and it came back negative, so it's not allergies unless I'm allergic to something very obscure.

I've got one of those colds that's bad enough that I can't do anything but lie down but NOT bad enough that I don't feel guilty about doing nothing but lying down...

So I'm lying in bed drinking iced tea through a straw and my stuffed animals are in quarantine.

I honestly haven't gotten sick (with a contagious disease )in 5 years despite how I'm always around people and no matter how stressed or sleep deprived I am I don't get sick. (Knocks on a wooden plank)
