I've been sick for at least a week already. It started off as pain in my sinuses.. then a couple days later the sinuses started draining and I had a runny nose and cough. I thought I was getting over it.
Yesterday it got worse. My entire head hurts. My ears and throat hurt. I even feel like I have a toothache in a spot where there is no tooth! It must be the sinuses still. Oh I'm so miserable!
I've been sleeping most of the week.. taking naps when I can, either in the morning while everyone is in school, or in the afternoon once everyone is home.. so the older kids can keep an eye on the younger ones.
Thankfully nobody else is sick yet except for me. The kids are all doing fine.. thank goodness.. and hubby isn't sick yet either, which is a good thing because he's impossible when he's sick (aren't all men?).
I plan on spending this weekend getting as much sleep as possible and hopefully feeling better really quick.
Anyone else coming down with a cold, or fighting one off?

Thankfully I've been able to go through this winter without developing a sinus infection (I typically end up with at least one severe sinus infection during the course of the winter). It really is a wonder that I haven't ended up sick though because we've been having a lot of weather with wild temperature swings. For example today it was 70 degrees and then it is supposed to snow tomorrow.
If I don't get sick through all of this it will be a thousand wonders.

The toothache where there's no tooth. ..yes that's sinuses. I have been having allergies and getting those headaches which continue down into the face. We should get some rain soon and help with that.
But this post is about YOU! I am so sorry you are sick. I hope you feel much better soon. Don't let the head and face pain go on too long, it could be you may get an infection. You'll know by the color of the. ..well, drainage.

It's a normal color.. just a cold and it may be finally going away as my face no longer hurts today.

Poor you! It is all about lots of fluids, meds for pain and lots of rest. You must feel so misreable. I will send a parrot with my favourite recipe for flu and colds. Lime juice in hot water with a dollop of rum and honey to sweeten. All good things. So of you see an anxious parrot, shivering but carrying in its beak a little bag which contains the cure - then you know that it was sent by me

i used to get sick in exactly the same manner everytime the season changes. I've cured myself with herbal medicines. I boil around 100 gms of celery stalk in a liter and a half of water. this becomes my drinking water for the whole day. this has helped me a lot. why don't you try it too?

the cold is reaching all time and i heard that it is quite unbearable ,stay inside and make sure you enjoy the weather as much as you can,but at the same time,it is quite hard to manage the cold

Oh I almost caught one. Last Wednesday I was up early and was running lots of errands. I only had a thin sweater on and a tank underneath it because the weather news said it should be warmer. But it didn't get warm until about 4pm. When I finally got home, my head hurts a bit, my throat feels dry and I am already sniffling. And since I know I will be miserable if I go down with colds, I decided to take some airborne and I drank green tea with honey to ease my throat. I went to bed early and aside from feeling sluggish the following day, I am glad that my condition didn't worsen to colds. I think it's got something to do with the changing of the weather. Some of us can't adjust immediately and going from cold to warm then back to cold weather again spells like colds season to me.
