Sick As A Dog!

While my symptoms haven't signified anything more than a common cold I have to admit that I've been flattened by a cold since Mother's Day.

It keeps getting worse rather than better. What started as congestion in my ears dropped into my nose/sinus and has now turned into sneezing, coughing, and plenty of other goodness...

I've been avoiding cold medicine and researching natural or homeopathic remedies online but haven't found anything that really moves this cold out of my body.

I did honey mixed with vinegar to soothe my sore throat, I drink water steeped with mint leaves, take my vitamins, and have even tried getting some "medicine in the sky." Nothing has really knocked this cold loose but all have lessened the symptoms for at least a short time.

The biggest downside to this cold is also the one that drives everyone here crazy--I wheeze. That's right, I sound like a balloon letting out air every time I exhale. Yes, even when I'm trying to sleep...

I think this is my first cold since mid-December of last year though so I can't complain too much that this one's been hanging on for two-plus weeks.

Soon my friends...soon.

Thanks for checking in,
