Ok, so...not allergies.

Umm.   Not allergies.  Really very sick.  Obviously viral.  I actually felt better on Saturday except for a scratchy throat, so I went for a 25 mile bike ride.  By Sunday, I was flat on my back with this...bug. 

And now I'm so sick I could hardly sleep.  Taking Nyquil in the hope that it'll make me sleep ( & yeah, breathing through my nose would be great too thanks).

*sigh*

Eeh, feel better, dear. Sounds like you got handed a bad one!

Ever try using a Neti pot? I find that they help a lot.

I make shiny icon, if you'd like to snag it. *G* Might look familiar.

Awwww. Sorry to hear that you are sick. Get lots of fluids, lots of sleep. Steam and sudafed (though sudafed will make it harder to sleep, so you might want to only take it during the day) can help you breathe better.

I hope you feel better soon.

What you described before...feeling like you were pedalling through water or etc...was EXACTLY how I felt all of last summer...it's standard fare before and during an attack. So that was all I could think of; 'uh oh, it sounds like you're having/going to have an attack'. LOL but unless we have reason to believe you have MS, that didn't sound reasonable. It probably sounds weird for me to say 'oh good, I'm glad it's just a virus', but from my point of view, a virus/bug is something with a very limited lifespan that won't ruin your entire season/year/etc unless something goes wrong.

So rather than it being worsening allergies or some syndrome or other condition that would take longer to figure out how to deal with, I'm glad it's a virus. Please rest lots and eat ice cream and read nice stuff or watch movies and leave your family to fend for themselves. (It's good for them!) Ignore all responsibility for a few days and just get better. :)

Oh no! Lots of fluids, chicken soup and REST. No more 25 mile bike rides for a while, young lady!

Poor thing! :< Get lots of rest, and I hope you feel better! *hugs*

I think the worst part about being sick is when you can't breathe out of your nose.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I hope you feel better soon...sleeping through these things is best. :(

On a side note, laptops are awesome for when you're sick because you don't have to get out of bed! :)

Oh Andrea,

Hope you feel better soon!! Your friend's hairsticks with your leaves look so beautiful. Too bad my hair is too fine for hairsticks...

Lots of oranges juice and warm blankets your way.
