Average Jane Continues To Suffer

Yes, I’m still sick.  I woke up in the middle of the night with so much tension in my upper back and shoulders that I thought my body was preparing to pop my aching head off like a champagne cork.  After a dose of Dayquil (it’s all I had) I sat reclined on the couch with a heating pad across my shoulders and slept until the sun came up.  The headache was gone.  Hooray!

Now I’m a little medicine-fogged and prone to frequent throat clearing, but I think I can be functional.

I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to have such a puny immune system.  It’s an absolute miracle when I can make it through even one cold weather month without getting sick.  Vitamins?  I take them daily.  Immune-boosting supplements?  Useless.  I get plenty of sleep, mostly stay away from refined sugar, etc., etc.  Nothing helps.

Okay, enough whining.  If I don’t stop now, I’ll lose all my readership except my hypochondriac base.  Assuming this cold is over in the usual amount of time, I should be better by Monday.  Have a lovely weekend!
