alexpgpWhatever it is I have is not awful... strike that. It is awful.
Mostly runny nose, congestion, an ache around the jaw and jaw hinge, scratchy eyes, and a mad desire to breathe moist air.
So, of course, this would be the day that everyone and their cousin calls me, wanting to put work on my plate.
Yeow!
I started the day deciding to take it easy (just for today), but between phone calls - and the fact that I couldn't fall asleep anyway - I started to get fidgety. After all, deadlines are deadlines, and I'm basically set for the next week (or maybe longer).
So I decided to at least start on some of what's piled up around here. So far, I've got about half the first assignment in the bag (thank goodness for people who write clearly!).
Anyway... it's time to go down my n-th gram of C for the day (where n = 6, or maybe 7... I've lost count), and maybe an aspirin to help make me forget about the bottom half of my head. Then it's off to sleep and - hopefully - a better day tomorrow.
Cheers...

go straight for the Zinc next time.
It's all about the zinc lozenge + zinc glutonate nasal spray combo.
I've avoided all but preliminary symptoms on the last 6 or 7 colds that have tried to sneak up on me.
The trick is to start administering zinc heavily at the very first moment you feel a symptom, even if it's in the middle of the night (which is usually when symptoms begin.) Don't stop dosing yourself until the symptoms are gone, this can take a couple of days.
