Well, I'm up again- for a little while. Slept away the entire day yesterday. Got up around 8PM to take a shower hoping the steam would clear my head. It was a great idea except that I was so weak I got dizzy and fell.

My wonderful DH decided that since the steam had helped, he would go out on Saturday night and find me a steam humidifier. That worked really well- I slept for almost 12 hours.

The cold is still raging, the sneezing is still frequent but the steam, combined with good old-fashioned Vicks, seems to have worked its magic against the worst of the coughing. Everything hurts, thanks to the fibro-flare.

It is very frustrating to have lost so many days right now. Christmas is still up all over the house; I have tons of school work to do- papers to grade, grades to record, exams to write; Cindy is getting ready to start some stuff with CTMH that I want to be part of; I was determined to put in some time this weekend on Beatrix Potter.

Oh, well. Time for another dose of Nyquil, refill the steamer, and back to bed. I hope I can manage to stay up this afternoon for the big game.

GO EAGLES!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by lady! Gad you have had a go of it! Rest and vitamins are about the only cure for colds. Yuck! Hope yours decides to leave. Hope your husband doesn't get it to give back. It's a blessing you didn't hurt yourself worse when you fell. Take care.
