It's Going Around! Run!
Day 5 of the evil cold. Day 4 of work missed. How much longer can this last??
Here's a report from a friend:
"Mine started pretty much the same. Party at Twin Peaks was Friday night (likely exposure), Sunday Night sore throat/feeling blah... sinuses were fucked/tonsiles & throat sore thru the week, had a fever last a couple of days, phelgm-balls thru the week & weekend. Sinuses finally cleared up Sunday, worst of phlegm gone as well. Residual coughing for a few days afterwards.
It lasts for at least a week... residuals for a few days afterwards. At the tail end of the bug (day 6), my allergies were kicking in.
All that i was taking was a decongestant, drinking lots of green tea, ginger ale, and vitamins. I'm sure that some drugs to fight the sinus/throat infections might help. But its sounds like yours will last at least a few more days. My guess, by Tuesday you'll feel mostly normal. "
By next Tuesday?! AAAARRRGGGHH! I'm hoping the fact that I got antibiotics yesterday will push my recovery up a few days. I should have gotten them on Monday's doc visit but he seemed convinced it was just bad allergies/spring cold kinda thing. Dammit. That's what you get for going to the doctor too soon. Should have waited a day. At this point it looks like I'm going to miss Day one of the Horror Film Fest in SF. I'm supposed to see Undead at 8:45pm tomorrow night. A zombie film too! Boo hoo. I doubt I'll be well enough by tomorrow. This sucks!
