Omg. Turned the furnace up to 74, had a space heater on in the bathroom and I was shivering all night. Every joint ached. Trying to keep from coughing because it made my throat feel like i was swallowing knives. But that gave me hiccups which kept me up despite the NyQuil.
Not quite among the living yet but I did manage to make it to the living room. Time to watch my go-to movies when Im sick. Ferris Bueller and Singles.

Every joint aches. Stomach cramping. Outta breath.
Glad I left work early.
Ugh. This sucks.

(2,682 posts)the week before Xmas. Got over that but got up today with a scratchy throat and coughed so hard I vomited. I'm not actually sick to my stomach, but the coughing was that bad.
Now, normally I would just bundle up with a thermos of my favorite tea and a book and wait it out, but this time it has come at the absolute most inopportune time. My only grandchild is having her first baby any time! My first great grandbaby! The plan was that the baby's grandparents and great grandparents would all be at the hospital. I had to spread the word that I probably shouldn't be there. No one needs to catch this cold. They are setting me up on Skype so I'll see the baby when he and Mama and Papa are photo ready. Love technology.
Hope you feel better!

They were worried about pneumonia as it was my second bout and that's an indicator of pneumonia but lungs sounded clear.
Just keeping an eye on things. Plenty of water and chicken noodle soup. Think I'll try a salad today
