So I don't know if I have a cold or the flu.  I think I should have went ahead and bought that Zicam yesterday, Chris had me convinced it was the flu and that it would have been pointless.  I'm thinking it's a cold.... but can't be sure.  On this chart, I've bolded the things that I think apply to me.

Fever Fever is rare with a cold

Aw.. Feel better, Rachie!

[chibianne]

Thanks... It was worst first thing in the morning... when I got out of bed and started going about my day I felt a lot better.... I did go to Wal Mart for that Zicam at like 8:30 AM though.... hoping I see real improvement tomorrow and that it's not any worse...

I haven't been feeling well either, actually.. Maybe its part sinus.. i know mine is..

*hugs* I hope you feel better soon. Have you tried drinking lots of orange juice? That usually helps me some.

[chibianne]

Awwww, thanks. I'm a strong believer in "home remedies". I bought a whole gallon of orange juice yesterday... and chicken soup. Kinda sad I had to *go get it* for myself... I don't have someone who'll baby me like when I was a little kid.

np I'm a big hugger. If it's any consolation, I'd baby you if I could. :-j

Be careful not to drink too much OJ. Lots of calories, sugar and carbs. Sounds to me you have either a cold or a sinus infection. Do you have a humidifier in your home? If you don't, I would suggest one. I had a major league sinus infection, a few weeks ago. Doctor gave me something for it, and it helped. However, a friend of mine gave us a humidifier for Christmas and it had done wonders for both of us, in regards to being able to breathe. Something to look into.

Yeah, I've noticed side effects from all the carbs... the soup and OJ... even though I only had it right before bed it's all carbs and no protein, the next day I feel really jittery until I eat my first normal meal. This has been going on for a couple days :(. We don't have a humidifier... but things are clearing up and who can say whether the soup and vitamin C helped... now my major annoyance is the chapped lips I got from my runny nose, other than that I feel mostly better, if it suddenly gets worse again I'll know it's a sinus infection. We neeeed a humidifier in this house though, we don't have one, and I've been sneezing a lot even when I've been feeling well, and Chris has been complaining about air quality in the house too, so yeah.
