Too sick to die: please show mercy.

I am currently too sick to die. I picked up a cold in Minnesota, which slammed down on me hard enough and fast enough that I thought it might be strep (it's not strep). I currently have a bone-rattling cough, so much snot in my head that I think my brain may be liquefying, and a general sense of full-body malaise ( Read more... )

shameless plea, utterly exhausted, illness, medical fu

Hugs. Cats. Tea. No replies to any of us needed.

Add cinnamon and nutmeg for extra health kick.

Oy, I remember (and do not miss) Midwest crud. Though the CA crud doesn't seem to be much better - recurrent bronchitis is circling my social group. But man, that cold dry weather seems to bring out some nasty bugs, or at least it did in IA.

I was at the con, and I'm hoping that my incessant hand-washing will keep the germs away. Of course, I got back home and discovered that half my office was out sick with strep. (I'd rather the strep, honestly; it's over faster.)

Wishing Seanan all the comfy cats and fast healing.

*offers hugs and tea* Seems to be the season. Bronchitis has hit my social group like a hammer. If it helps, the Mark Reads YW comments has spawned a lot of feels over your books as well, and I convinced someone to read Rolling in the Deep! I hope you feel better soon!

Yep, the symptoms you're describing describe a recent supercold going around to a T. I got it last week after a con in MD, and I am STILL dealing with excess yuck. I hope you get plenty of rest. Sleep + broth (and lots of both!) were crucial to me being able to brain again after four or five days. Feel better!
