Last time I wrote, which was about 11 days ago, I explained the lovely, and odd, cold symptoms that I was having. Sinus pressure, headaches, bloody mucus, and a hint of a scratchy throat. All of those things I had had for a little less than a week at that point.
A few days after that post, I saw my PCP. Gave me some antibiotics. Started taking them, the sinuses started to get better, less bloody.
Flash forward to today, 8 days after that appointment.
I am still sick, but have a whole new set of symptoms!
Sinuses are more or less done. Still a little stuffy, but manageable. I have had a fever, very off and on, for perhaps the last two weeks. Due to its strange timing -- sometimes it goes away for a day or two before coming back -- I did not really notice it until a few days ago. Thinking back, I probably had a fever in a few situations where I just didn't notice it, like being outside shoveling or walking or waiting for the T.
Throat is 1000% percent worse. It hurts very much to swallow. Eating Saltines feels like eating swords. My glands are swollen like crazy, and I am salivating a goddamn ton. On top of that, in the last 48 hours, dry heaves/vomiting has been added to the mix. Just lovely, really. And, while it's not really a symptom, per se, the horrible dreams/nightmares I have been having the last few nights suck.
What is with the wheel of symptoms? Does anyone have any logical explanation for this?

Yikes, sounds like the flu. Take it easy and get some rest. Stash makes a really awesome lemon ginger tea that is AMAZING for a sore throat (and the ginger will help with the boo boo belly). Try some with a little honey.
