Spoke too soon...

Well I spoke too bloody soon in my last post didn't I! Hmmmph after saying that I was finally getting over my cold, on Wednesday night it hit me again, but instead of a headcold it has now travelled down my throat into my chest, and so now I get this wonderful burning in my chest every time I cough.

My appetite has dried up, and so has my energy, and motivation.

I have been to the chemist twice this week, the first one told me the only thing I could take was an Expectorant cough syrup, which I bought. The second chemist also suggested something to dry up my nose. The only problem being that I work at a manufacturing site which is subject to random drug tests... and apparently some cold and flu medication can test positive as an opiate. I bought some pseudoephedrine-free stuff - and I'll cross my fingers that the drug testers dont arrive this week!!!

I trained hard last week, but I still feel like my muscles are mush. And I've been eating so many Fishermans Friends that I've got a couple of mouth ulcers too - woe is me!! Shoot me now!

Only two days of work this week, then 3 days off!!!! I think I need it.

You haven't had a good run lately have you Hils? I hope things start to improve in a hurry. Take some time off and rest!

No pseudoephedrine - bugger they are the best ingredient to a cold and flu tablet!

I hope you are feeling better soon, you poor thing, this dreaded season hasn't been your friend has it.

Get heaps of rest and rug up!

Sorry to hear you unwell :-(
Perhaps you need antibiotics? If you don't get better soon go and see the doctor.
Sending hugs,
