I'm managing about two hours of broken sleep out of each 6-hour dose of cold and flu medicine before the effect wears off enough to make sleeping impossible, and I'm back to hacking up chunks of my lungs and blowing my nose every minute or so. I've been slathering vaporub all over, sitting in the shower with the detachable showerhead aimed at my throat and upper chest, gargling salt water and sucking on lozenges almost non-stop to try and get my poor throat some relief. I think I may be losing my mind to the pain, lack of sleep and fever.
There has to be some super secret way to get over a bug like this, right? People can't really survive this kind of ongoing misery. I must have been dreaming all those other times I was sick. If I was sick like this back then, I would have just curled up and died (a very tempting proposition right now) (I may be losing perspective).
Help me FS buddies, you're my only hope.
