Winter Blues?
When wintertime comes, the number one thing people think of, is sickness. Most people get a Flu shot- which wards off the flu virus, but I think even if you have that shot, you are still prone to getting a cold. This year, I didn’t get a flu shot, but I didn’t get the flu either, so it all worked out. What I did get, is a nasty, horrible, severe cold! I got this cold about 8 days ago and it is one fierce thing! First it starts with a sore throat…then it turns into heavy sinus pressure. After that, it turned into bloody noses and stuffed noses, and then a nasty cough. As of today (day 8), I have a stuffed up nose, and a scratchy throat, with a little cough. Last night was the first night in a week that I was able to sleep the entire night. All the other days, I struggled with sleeping due to not being able to breathe. Even taking medicine didn’t seem to help this cold, it just had to work its way out I guess. I don’t think it helps that it is 20 degrees outside either…which makes me want to move to Arizona even more!
