Still ill and it's not getting any better. In fact, it's getting worse. It started in my nose, a little congestion that I could blow out and it would be gone for several hours. I didn't think anything of it. Then... it took over my nose and before I knew it, I was blowing every 15 minutes. Today, I woke from bed to find myself in excruciating pain. I couldn't feel but the chapped skin around my nostrils and the dryness of the back of my throat. I could feel the congestion in my chest and every time I coughed, it felt like the fire from a thousand dragons. My voice, deeper than usual, a bit more scratchy and definitely more hoarse, but at least I still have it. Right?
All day I've been popping pills like it's my job. Every 4 hours I reevaluate the situation and determine the worthiness of increasing the dosage of medication. Is it worth it? will I get better from this? "1 pill every 4-6 hours. do not exceed 4 pills in 24 hours" Do that mean after 4 for the day I should switch to another brand? will that work?
I took a tablespoon of NyQuil. I thought it was supposed to make you drowsy and want to sleep. Quite the opposite for me, wouldn't you say? Here I am, laying in bed, trying to get a little shut eye and nurse myself back to health, but all I can do is open my eyes, and run my fingers across my keyboard in hopes that the words being formed from my fingertips makes sense when it's all finished.
