The common cold.....
It may be called common but it is anything but a common daily feeling. Your nose draining like a leaky sink, the pressure in your head like your stuck in a vaccum cleaner hose, and the lethargy like you've just ran a 6 min mile in 2 min.
I can never remember that old wives tale....Feed a fever, starve a cold....or starve a fever, feed a cold. Does anyone know?
I have a little bit more sympathy for the patients that come into the ER for a common cold. We always say how weak they are and how much they waste our time with a virus that we can't fix, but it really does drag you life to a screeching hault. I wish I could just crawl back into bed (but lying vertically) and hibernate until I feel normal again. But in this day and age, none of us have time to slow down, it's always go, go, go!!
Oh well, at least it's not the flu.... I'll give it a few days and it'll be gone. I just have to be better by Friday night because I have to go rub elbows with the rich and famous in D.C.
Hope you all are feeling better than I am.
