Late Night Whining

Wednesday evening I began to feel sick: my throat was scratchy, my body ached, and talk about mucous.  I was afraid I had strep while others said the flu.  Thursday morning, no improvement.  Thursday afternoon I was feeling significantly better.  Thursday night, my throat was scratching and sore and my sinuses complaining again and Friday morning was the same.  Friday afternoon like clock work I was feeling better and then Saturday morning not so much again.

Let's insert what I thought was the problem.  Wednesday afternoon I was cutting foam insulation board with a jigsaw and without a mask.  Thursday afternoon the same.  That seemed to be the connection until Saturday morning I was feeling gross again.  I chalked that up to just getting it all out of my system and last night I was feeling fine and looking forward to being over this self inflicted mess.

Then I wake at 4:20am with a sore, scratchy throat and sinus issues.  Are you kidding me?!?  I was so frustrated I almost began to cry.  I felt so helpless and clueless as to what is plaguing me.  My groggy mind concluded that whatever is making me want to rip out my throat must be in my bed.  So I sit here at 5am, as my husband dreams, complaining while listening to the washing machine (hopefully) decontaminating my bed spread.

I had that same problem last week. The exact same symptoms. I didn't go to the dr. either. Just started to feel better after about 5 or 6 days(nights). Hope you get better soon, go buy some menthol cough drops, that really helped me at 4:00 in the morning.
Hugs to you!
