I thought I would escape, but I've caught some kind of cold or virus.

Chest and sinus congestion, and coughing, mainly. My throat feels really dry. I'm loaded up with medications, so no need for advice. Got my super sized bag of honey lemon cough drops right here.

The B!tch of it is, I won't be able to go to the food pantry for my neighbors tomorrow. I can't touch all the things I bring for them to eat, or cough all over them. I posted a notice in the elevator, so that people won't be expecting me.

New symptoms today...it's the flu.

Update on all the fun...body aches were so bad I had to sleep sitting in my recliner last night. Couldn't lie down because of the coughing. KILLER headache. No appetite whatsoever. Got dehydrated this morning and almost couldn't get out of bed...then I threw up.

I was able to lie down during the day today, and slept all day long.

The coughing and headache are very slightly better...but I am still stuffed up, and my headache is milder.

@MellyMel22 Thank you! I took some zinc the first day, and that is supposed to shorten the duration.

@4meAndyou Are you feeling any better so far?

@MellyMel22 Yes, thank you. I was finally able to eat something earlier today, and the headache magically disappeared. After the body aches got better, the headache was the worst of it.
