It started with a tingle in the back of my throat five or six days ago. I knew I was going to get sick. I increased my consumption of liquids and vitamin C and zinc to help alleviate the symptoms. Two days ago the soar throat was gone. I thought my illness had run its course.
I was tricked.
This virus tricked me into letting down my defenses! I was lulled into a false state of security. I thought the cold/virus/disease had packed its bags and gone home. But again, I was tricked. I accepted the Trojan horse. And over the course of a night, the soldiers crept out of their hiding and ransacked my immune system during its slumber.
I awoke with a runny nose, aches, and congestion.
Now, thanks to Tylenol multi-symptom drugs, my symptoms have largely abated and I think I am on the true road to recovery. My only gripe is that these drugs seemed to have dried out my lips and nose a LOT. I feel like my left nostril is going to start bleeding at any moment and I’m sure by now I have swallowed a fair amount of chap stick from my lips.
