Down here on the SW Florida coast, there is a cold, virus…crud going around. Mike came home with it two Friday’s ago. Two days later, I started with it. It was weird. The symptoms were exactly the same for us both, just two days difference.
They were:
- Sore throat
- Extreme sinus/nasal congestion
- Headache
- Exhaustion
- Body aches
- Cough (starting as non-productive then becoming productive)
I started with it on Sunday. I spent Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in bed. No appetite. On Wednesday, I saw the doctor and he put me on antibiotics. Thursday, Friday, Saturday showed much improvement. It is now Sunday and I am feeling a lot better. We both still have the cough but that will go away soon, I hope.
I am susceptible to bronchitis and pneumonia, so I was lucky this time. This all started with someone coughing all over him at work.
Things I ask, without infringing upon your “freedoms”:
- Cover your mouth when you cough
- Cover your face when you sneeze
- If are sick and you can, STAY HOME
- Wash your hands
- Use hand sanitizer
Good luck out there.
Thanks for reading.
