Seriously, I want to stop being sick now. I am so tired and miserable and things are getting WORSE again, not better. Here’s the progression so far.
Tuesday 10/19 – woke up with dry sore throat. Worked normal day.
Wednesday 10/20 – was up most of the night with swollen, thick, razor-blade painful sore throat. my normal day off.
Thursday 10/21 – still miserable. voice weak. fever and chills. Went to work but boss sent me home after an hour.
Friday 10/22 – throat finally felt better. felt very tired but thought I was on the mend. by the end of the day, voice was weak and breaking.
Saturday 10/23 – up all night coughing and nose running. stuffy and miserable. lost my voice completely late afternoon Saturday.
Sunday 10/24 – up again multiple times overnight with coughing fits enough to make me gag. horrible, non-stop stuffy/runny nose, sneezing, coughing: full on cold symptoms. still have almost no voice.
What the hell?? My throat isn’t sore so much anymore but it’s still totally red, raw and looks awful. And now I feel worse then I did on Friday. I feel like I’ve been hit by a damned truck and my lips are cracked, my ears are clogged, I’m dizzy, my nose is stuffed and yet needs blowing constantly and I feel like death loomed over. When will this damned nightmare end??
Something i found usefull for colds are olive oil, its a very strong antibacterial.
Gargle with it and then swallow, it burns a bit but I find it helps.can also be used by dabbing a finger with it and then I take it to my nostrils, yes it sounds crazy ut its worked for me. Sopposedly natural coconut oil is also antibacterial.
Hope you lose this cold real soon.
