I also have a cold at the moment.
I had Swine FLu toward the end of last year and it really knocked me for six too.
Just now though I have the blocked sinuses, headache, sore throat and runny nose too.
My wife works in the NHS here in the UK so I was kept well informed with the swine flu, Getting a cold is such a bummer though.
Especially when it travels through the body, lungs etc.
Here’s some reference material for you:
How does the Common Cold Affect Your Body
common cold
the one thing that really peeves me about the cold, is how it seems to feel worse in the evening, and waking up with both nostrils blocked and “dry mouth”. I’ve been lucky so far and havent gotten the cough.
Sometimes I’ve seen me coughing to the point of almost passing out.
I generally use Cold and flu tabs and dose up with plenty water, lots of vitamin c, and Chucky eggs and Soldiers.
(International Translation Note: ‘Soldiers’ when made from bread are thin strips of buttered bread or buttered toast used for dipping into a boiled egg. Chucky egg (for me anyway) is de-shelled boiled eggs in a cup or bowl and mashed up with a touch of butter and seasoning)
There is a cure for the common cold…................It’s in a vault in Area 51, beside the spaceship and chunk of Kryptonite… :0)
