I'm also battling one of those dratted colds, and feeling way down. Your response set ME up. Hope your cold is better soon.
Oh gosh, am sorry for you. It's rough. I even had the flu and pneumonia shot but I think this is allergy related and maybe sinus infection ...and it is the second time I have had it this fall. Both times were after we got home from travel on the airplane. Makes me wonder. Last night was probably the breaking point for me as I began to get so chilled and just shake. Went to bed with Electric blanket and meds and while the night was not without coughing and what seemed like choking...I do feel rather clearer this morning. Gonna take more meds and go lie down. Nasty stuff whatever it is. Hope you get well soon. Yes, this does bring you down. No doubt about it. Makes you extra thankful for your health though when we are up and back on our feet. Without our health we have nothing. Get well and stay well. Merry Christmas.
