Wishing you the best. I had it earlier this year and it was like hell, and it went on for more than a week.

Thank you, Alpha and James. Actually, I have often felt worse. The symptoms are mostly those of a moderately bad cold--occasional barking coughs, stuffy/runny nose, a bit of sneezing. And I have no trouble breathing; nor have I experienced any gastric upsets (as yet, anyway). The worst part, though, is losing my senses of taste and smell: it's been as though someone had drawn a veil over the insides of my mouth and nose...but I think those senses are slowly coming back. Second worst is the fatigue. I'll feel industrious for a brief time and then--wham! "Y' know, I think I'll lie down for a while." This whole process, while not much fun, could all have been downright horrible...if I hadn't been vaccinated and boosted. I thought a lot about that last Thursday.  |

Time for lots of tea and old movies Tea and old movies? You bet! But also plenty of dairy-free/plant-based yogurt and ice cream--very soothing to the throat without clogging up the nasal passages.

...you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry"
Okay, sorry.
I had it earlier this year. I'll admit it was pretty rough for a few hours. I was wearing layers under the blankets freezing while my body on the outside burned. What helped weirdly enough was ice cream. Had some Blue Bell and the symptoms went away almost instantly.
