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.

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. 🙂

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!
