Not Dead

My congestion seems to be getting a little better, although I've woken up to a crippling headache the past two days. This morning, with the Claritin-D now out of my system, I went and bought some Robitussin.

Robitussin is now my new most favorite thing ever.

I took it about 30 minutes ago and my cough is almost completely gone. I think if I went and blew my nose like a responsible adult, my congestion would be lots better, too.

Robitussin rocks.

I also took some tylenol for my headache and the day is getting to be tolerable.

Meanwhile, one of my coworkers keeps insisting that I go to the doctor. I am 100% certain that this is just a cold. What is the doctor going to do for a cold? If they prescribe antibiotics, they'll lose me as a patient. If they tell me to take some Robitussin and get lots of rest and fluids, then I will have wasted my time.

Seriously, folks, the doctor is great and all, but you don't just throw a doctor at every sniffle. Sometimes you just have to buckle down and infect everyone in the office with what you have because misery loves company.

Oi Flibby--severe morning headaches plus elevated blood pressure in a guy your age is a bit worrying. If the headaches do not resolve along with your sinus symptoms, you really ought to go get checked out.

I'm anti-antibiotics myself unless I'm seriously ill. I think we have an immune system for a reason...fighting off a cold just keeps it in good practice if you ask me. :) That said, I'm so full of Nyquil right now from a terrible cold that I can't even see straight.
