so i appear to be sick and it is not pleasant.
it started on sunday with a dry throat, followed by aches in my back/hips, sensitive skin, chills, fatigue, and a 100+ fever. i barely slept that night due to breaking into a sweat and finally gave up around 6am and laid on the couch.
well the fever is over save for some minor aches, but it's been followed up by a sinus infection/seasonal allergies (stuffy nose, throat hurts when i tilt my head down, etc). this sucks because 1) i have a lock-in tomorrow night and need to be in good shape so i can stay up to 6am (and live off of less than 3hr of sleep before spending time with family and then sleeping on a stuffty hotel bed) and 2) thanksgiving means family visiting.
i'm taking claritin d, nyquil, ibuprofen, took some vitamins, i just used some fluticasone spray, i've had 2 cups of water so far, took a hot shower, and had some hot lemon tea mixed with a forgetload of pure honey and some cinnamon. before i go to bed i'm going to take some generic sleep aids so i can actually get to sleep tonight. but so far all this hasn't put much of a dent on the symptoms. tomorrow i'll probably start a strict diet of water, hot tea, and cough drops. and tonight i'll use some more breatherite strips and some vapor rub or whatever.
so what do you guys do to get over this stuff? i'd like to get over it as soon as possible
