    Let's wallow in self-pity together!

    I have a cold! I've had it since Monday, and it won't go away. So I'm feeling sorry for myself, because SCIENCE HAS PROVEN that self-pity is an important vitamin/nutrient required by the immune system.

    So here's my whine: Today I think I consumed more calories in cough drops and cold remedies than in actual food. Which is okay, because actual food tastes totally gross right now.

    Anybody else?

    Re: Let's wallow in self-pity together!

    Not sick, but I did throw out my back in the middle of Finals week. Which just ended yesterday! I'm going to be trying to catch up on the hours of sleep I missed over the last two weeks, for weeks to come. I'm exhausted, achy, and keep getting migraines everyday. It's horrible. Finals in and of themselves are like a disease...they make you feel horrible. Anxious, tired, and somewhat nauseous.

    Re: Let's wallow in self-pity together!

    Ugh I totally know what you mean..

    A few weeks ago I got this weird bug which made me have a horrible sore throat for nearly a week (it wasn't strep though). I was put on antibiotics. Felt fine all until last Wednesday. Felt like I was getting a cold, until Saturday when my chest started to hurt. Went to the doc and apparently my meds from before weren't strong enough so then I got a sinus infection and bronchitis. Lucky me I'm put on some stronger medication and received an inhaler.

    I have not been sick in literally one year up until this season, and usually when I am sick it isn't ever like this. Yeeesh...

    I have successfully avoided getting sick, knock on wood, regardless of the fact that I have a 5 year old boy in school and my boyfriend has been sick twice since this season We'll see how long it lasts. I am, however, exhausted. Working a lot of hours (including the overnight shift tonight) for overtime, for Christmas

    You must have stolen my yearly bout of upper respiratory infection from me. Normally I have at least one in Fall, and a relapse in early Spring. So far, I've been lucky. Thank goodness. But unfortunately, I've always got an inhaler. Stupid asthma.

    I started working at a place with lots of parents of young kids a few years ago, and I was sick non-stop all winter. I had 4 different colds, two sinus infections, and Valley Fever.

    And then I wasn't sick again for two years!

    Maybe you'll get lucky, and you've already got all the awesome immunities? *crosses fingers*

    I actually used to get really awful migraines after every exam week. I still get them after major deadlines. Oh, and I would sleep for 18 hours straight for several days in a row. My Mom was convinced I had mono every Christmas.
