Coming down with an infection

[mtbc]

I have been frustrated that I am not yet more rapidly productive at work. Yesterday was another example but my legs started off achy and, as the day wore on, it became clearer that I was coming down with some kind of a cold, and that my throat was not feeling good. Then, I didn't feel sleepy last night and stayed up late.

In the end, I slept. This morning, I woke up feeling quite rotten, especially my head, so I got out of bed in search of medicines and drinks. Having rested, I now feel a little better. I have even taken a bath and now feel up to actually dressing instead of lying around in my pyjamas.

At least we didn't have grand plans for this weekend. I expect to be feeling somewhat improved by Monday.

I'm glad you recognized it early and started getting rest! Hope you're well-improved come Monday.

Hope you're feeling better by now! Anytime my throat starts to hurt, I gargle with peroxide and water, about 1/2 and 1/2, or if it's bad, more peroxide than water. Gargle as far back in your throat as you can without swallowing, repeat a few hours later, and then again another few hours later. It kills the infection if you catch it early. I've been the only non-sick person in a houseful of people because I did that and they all thought I was amusing and didn't do the same. :)

I prefer lying around in my pajamas, in bed if possible. lol

Good to know, thank you. Might taste better than gargling with brine!
