As many loyal readers of my blog already know, I pride myself in the fact that I take no medication of any kind, not even an Aspirin. (Although in extreme emergencies, such as the bicycle accident I had about a year ago, I have taken an antibiotic and an NSAID). But for the past 3 days, I have been sick. Nothing major, but I have been sneezing quite often, my nose is runny and stuffy and I have a minor headache.
I don't really feel that bad, except for the headache, but what bothers me is, I don't seem to be improving.
My aunt keeps asking what I am doing for it, to which I reply nothing, and Edie points me to the Benadryl, and says it won't hurt to take a few Advil.
Well, I'm not so sure about that, but I did break down (or maybe I should say, I designated this an extreme emergency) and took two Benadryl last night.
Although I did get a good nights sleep (went to bed at 6 PM awoke at 6 AM), it didn't really help much. All it did was dry me out totally. My mouth was very dry, and I couldn't breathe through my nose at all. I doubt I will try that again.
But I have also succumbed to the pressure by taking two Advil, about an hour ago, in the hope that it may help to mitigate the headache.
It hasn't helped yet, but I am hopeful!

Please get better for my sake becaue I can't handle that audit and Vought at the same time on Tuesday. Or maybe I can and I just underestimate myself.
I'm living with it Marc.

At least you don't have that to worry about.
