I am feeling a little better this morning for the first time in a week of this terrible cold! 🎉

It is tough to feel like complete 💩for a whole week. 

I feel so much respect for folks I know that deal with chronic issues but still push through them every day. It would be so hard to function with this level of discomfort perpetually.

This has made me much more determined to reach my health goals than before once I recover from this.

Now if I can just figure out how to avoid contagious people at social events.

Hey deriniti! 

I really appreciate you following up!

I have slowly been feeling better but now my husband is in the middle of his week+ of being sick and I am having to take care of him and everything else around our house while still not recovered, myself. I have had no time to spend on FC. And so ready for life to get back to normal but it is going to be at least a few more days. 

Thanks again for checking in on me. It means a lot! 💙💙💙

hope you are ok! Haven't seen you cast in a few days. I pray you are feeling much better! ❤️ 🍖 x 379

I had flu and COVID shots in October, and not sure this is a flu, but regardless, saw a doctor on Thursday and she said there was nothing she could do for me. Just have to let it run its course. 

I developed laryngitis on Wednesday so haven’t even been able to talk much for the last few days. That is improving today, at least!

Definitely feeling less sinus issues /congestion today but have been nauseated all day which is “new”. Hoping tomorrow will be more improvement!

This is in no way guaranteed to work, but I was told by my doctor that getting a flu shot *may* make other respiratory infections less severe. I haven’t been sick since 2019, probably because of spending less/no time in offices w/ sick people. But before that I would get one severe illness (4 weeks) every couple of years and one milder one yearly (3 days, often in Spring).

Anyway, glad you are feeling better. 🙂

Thanks so much Vanessa! 💙 💙 💙 

Sorry I have been AFK for a bit. I've been feeling better, though still not recovered and now my husband is sick so having to take care of him on top of trying to get over this, myself. No time for FC, but hopefully things will be getting back to normal soon.
