Covid is on the Run

Today, my doctor prescribed me a cough expectorant, Tessalon. At night, I wake up coughing like crazy and then, have trouble getting back to sleep.
Jay had this problem for a few nights, but now he's on the mends. Every day, he seems to be feeling somewhat better. If I ask how he's feeling my husband sicks his arm in front of me. Then he replies, "Feel my arm, how am I feeling?"
Yes, he has a great sense of humor, even when he's sick:)
If I wake up coughing tonight, I'll take one of those caplets Tawn prescribed. I too will get a handle on this destructive virus! I'm sick of being sick

@kobesbuddy "A semi-truck had hit me." Exactly. I felt like that for over two weeks. Then semi felt like that for another two weeks. Hubby was slugged even harder. Horrible.

@sallypup Jay was very sick for two days. He just slept and relaxed, took some antihistamines. Now, he's doing better each day. I developed symptoms about five days later and felt like a semi-truck had hit me. Today, my cough isn't too bad.

@kobesbuddy Really? The sickest I ever felt was when I had Pleurisy one year. Every breath I took was like being stabbed with a knife. I also felt really pretty sick when I had a kidney infection.a few years ago. I was crazy not to go to the doctor. That can be deadly..although I didn't, know that at the time. I really wasn't sure what was going on.

@snowy22315 One time as a child, I had food poisoning and asked my mother if I was dying! My son had pleurisy and screamed that he was having a heart attack(Chad was 18 years old).

I hope the medico helps you, Kharla. I know that it seems Covid lingers for a long time. Rest is the best thing so be lazy and take care of yourself!

@MarieCoyle The doctors can only recommend what to do, to stay more comfortable.

The first week was terrible, I couldn't do anything. When I got up, I'd stagger around. So, it was obvious I had to lay back down. My doctor responded right away. She has another outbreak of Covid to take care of.
There's another string that popped its ugly head up!

@kobesbuddy I had a light case a couple of years ago, but nothing serious. I hope you get better soon.

When Covid first hit, I wasn't afraid. Two years later, it is raising its ugly head again. God is still taking care of all our needs!

The cough medication is a pill, to take at bedtime. Then, I won't wake up choking every night.

This virus has to run its course, nothing found has stopped it in its tracks.
