All too familiar, I'm afraid...
I have made a decision, and will break down and see the medics tonight.
Sounds like it might be time. Don't let the hold get so strong that "it" really puts you in bed. I've got some homeopathic little white pills for colds and sore throats that I am using to try to keep "it" at bay. Fingers crossed, so far so good. Fortunately I have no allergy issues, and I don't have to green muck you have. You mentioned mosquitoes......does someone try to get rid of them?
