Ugh! (Part 3)

There's no reason why feeling ill cannot be educational..

Here's what I've found out today about snot (although not what I was looking for - i.e. just what is the amount of snot that can be produced in one day.. I must be into gallons by now) and the common cold..

However, and I stress, it's definitely not flu

Ugh! (Part 2)

This cold (I refuse to call it flu, in case I get the whole "man flu" accusation levelled at me) continues to get worse..

Some form of "snot waterfall" has now formed from my nose..

Honestly, it's like the "Mucus rapids" around there.

 

Took the drugs early, not that they've helped any.. Lemsip Max Strength my arse.

Ugh!

The second cold of the winter season is in full effect now..

Consequently I feel like crap.

 

Just why does the nose need to produce so much snot?

It makes no sense..

I'm getting through more tissues than a horny teenager sat in front of "Hollyoaks"..

 

And it's thirty five minutes before I can take more drugs.. boo!

*sniff*

My Medicinal Dilemma

So the cold has developed now into a full blown illness and I feel like crap.
In order to reduce the misery somewhat, I've been taking Lemsip Max Cold & Flu capsules, and this has been easing the misery of the blocked nose, headache, etc.  However they seem to be having a very negative effect on my stomach meaning I feel sick almost all of the time after taking them.

So I have to decide..
Do I want to feel crap because of the cold or because of the cure?

Surely there's another way?

(answers on a postcard please)

To add insult to injury

On top of everything else this weekend, the slight cough I mentioned on Friday has turned into a full blown head cold..

Bastard.
