When I miss my volunteer work or my house is a mess, you know I'm hit hard, let me tell you. It's the worst virus I've ever had!

I have started on Mucinex for the chest congestion (it loosens/thins the junk in your lungs and helps you cough it out) and Zicam Multi-Symptom Cold & Flu for the other aches and pains. NyQuil couldn't even touch this. I know as I've likely guzzled gallons of NyQuil over the past couple of months without it helping much. It's been absolutely exhausting but I think *knock wood* I'm getting over the worst of it.

It's brutal isn't it? Mentally and physically...it's just draining. I'm so ready to be well again. I've had three rounds of antibiotics and although they help everytime it doesn't seem to get rid of all of the sinus infection. Luckily, my girls seems to be just getting colds and not this nightmare. I've had gallons of Nyquil too. I like it because it knocks me unconcious and keeps me asleep for at least a couple of hours. It doesn't help the symptoms that much at all.
