Wednesday - I start feeling a little sinus pressure.
Thursday - I start feeling tired, a little weak, and a little more sinus pressure.
Friday - Sinus pressure, achy body, my skin hurts, 100-101 fever, sore throat. I don't have coughing fits (like my wife does with the same bug), but every cough still feels like screwdrivers being driven into my temples.
Saturday - Well, that was a fun 3 days. I wake up with a headache, but meh, some Aleve and 2 hours later and I'm feeling much better. No sore throat. No fever. Still feel a little sick, you can tell somethings up by the sounds of my coughing, but basically the way you feel when you're coming out of your funk, like the next day you're going to be 100% again.
Sunday - Syke! It's back. Wake up with a sore throat. My left nostril running like a garden hose all day. I'm coughing and sneezing up some rather disgusting looking gunk. Afternoon comes around, and so does the fever. Sunday evening the fever reaches the 101 spot again. My skin is super sensitive and even my soft clothes rubbing against it when I walk is irritating and uncomfortable.
Today - Wake up with no fever, but my left nostril is still going strong after 24 hours. My nose is so raw from wiping and blowing it. My right nostril has had nothing to do with it this entire time, I wish it'd agree to take on some responsibility, since my nose insists on running. About an hour ago the fever returned. Doesn't feel as high as it did last night, but it's still coming on, we'll see where it goes.
I've been swallowing Maker's Mark hot toddies, ColdEeze, Fisherman's Friend, DayQuil, NyQuil, Thera-Flu, and 2 other random daytime cold medicines. They all help, but man this is annoying.
The wife started about 2 days before me. A lot of people at her work were out sick last week because of it. A couple of them went to the dr who said there's just a nasty cold going around right now.
I've had my fair share of colds, but I feel like one of those over-exaggerrated people on those cold medicine commercials.
Anybody else partaking in this lovely experience?
