Sunday night I had several sneezing attacks and by Monday morning I was feeling pretty crappy again, but I went to work anyway and just went along with my day. That night I still felt gross and tired, but not sleepy. It took me almost an hour to fall asleep after I laid down.
Early this morning, around 2am, I woke up to go pee (which I do at least 1-3 times a night, every night because of all the water I guzzle) and my entire head and body felt so heavy, my throat was super sore and dry and my nose was stuffy. I laid down and could not relax. It felt like I was coming down from Vicodin (which I once had withdrawals from while trying to get off of the drug recovering from surgery, so I know how incredibly frustrating that feeling is) because I could not let the covers touch me, but I was really cold. Every position I tried was uncomfortable, I couldn't breathe through my nose because it was stuffy and I couldn't breathe through my mouth because my throat was so scratchy/dry/sore/thrashed. Bogart wanted to cuddle and I just could not touch anything, I was shaky and restless and uncomfortable.
After what seemed like FOREVER, I finally fell asleep and did not go to work. Per my mom's request (more like forcing) I went to urgent care to figure out what the heck is wrong with me.
Turns out I have bronchitis. YUM.
And I have to be on some pretty powerful anti-biotics. DOUBLE YUM.
Apparently this is happening to everyone: The whole sick merry-go-round, getting sick, then well, then sick again. Except it's not so merry.
Getting me through it today has been fruit, won ton soup and doing nothing.
Tonight I'm most definitely knocking myself out with some Nyquil or pm meds. I can't have another restless night.
If you are sick, I feel for you. Get lots of rest, Vitamin C, and fruits/veggies.
How I look is how I feel... I know, it's not pretty.

Feel better, girl! I feel your pain, I was sick for almost a week during Christmas break. No bueno. Praying for a sleep-filled night for you.
THANK YOU love! I so appreciate it. Still not asleep yet, maybe I should step away from the computer, haha.
Dude I am on the SAME page as you. I have been horrible for weeks. Last night I did a netti pot, and it cleared up my world! no joke. get one.
Rachel: Thanks for the suggestion! I've never heard of it, but I really like having different options than harsh medicines.
Alycia: A netti pot?! How have I never heard of this???
