This is picture is about how I feel and have felt for the past 9 DAYS!!! It all started with a scratchy throat on Sunday and watery eyes. I totally thought I was just having an allergy spell with all the changing weather, but it didn't stop there. Then I started getting a really sore throat and congested. I couldn't sleep because one side of my nose would be completely blocked and then when I would turn over, the other side would be blocked. Plus with the sore throat, it would hurt so bad to swallow. So it went on like this for a few days and then it started going down into my chest. Every morning when I would wake up I would have to spend 10 minutes just blowing my nose and coughing to just get it all out (yuck, I know). Then I started getting that dry cough that always tickles your throat and makes you cough. It would get really bad at night and I couldn't stop coughing enough to fall asleep at night. I felt like I was fighting this tickle in my throat and it just wouldn't stop. So finally I got myself into the doctor and he said it's pretty much viral (duh! that's why I waited so long). Basically I have an upper respiratory infection and bronchitis. I got a steroid shot and some prescription decongestant and cough suppressant. I took all my medicine yesterday, but last night was the worst of all! I could not sleep because I kept coughing! I honestly slept 2 hours! I'm just hoping I can get some sleep soon!

Get some cough medicine with codine, and drink a LOT. Water, not vodka. :)
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Here's my prescription advice for a good night's sleep...NYQUIL. You will be sound asleep in 10 minutes and the next thing you know...it's morning! Try it, you'll see :-)
I am so sorry. I am probably the cause. Passing it through the phone. I hear on not feeling well. I am finally over the yucks. if you need anything just a couple of streets down. By the way, you are not on the list of people annoying me. It's mainly crazy family.
I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Mom's just shouldn't be able to get sick.
