SICK with a cold

Don't remember ever in so much agony with a cold. Probably because I'm older and have arthritis. When I was young there were a lot of people around - older people. I was there to help out. Now I find myself facing poor health and old age basically alone.

Post or don't post?

we’ve had the sickness in our home for 2 weeks. It’s terrible. Aches and congestion and chills. Hang in there.!!

Yes. Pain in joints and arms and legs. Freezing under five blankets. Congestion, cough... Hit like a ton of bricks.

Ive been the same , in bed most of the weekend with a cold and a flare up of fibromyalgia , youre right when you’re older it’s so much harder to get over these things, hope you feel better soon.

Sounds awful. Stay hydrated and test for covid if you can. Sending healing vibes 🪷

It could be that RSV or a milder covid strain too....lot's of nasty stuff going around that seems like a cold, but has a bit more kick to it. Feel better soon...lots of liquid, and chicken soup, and Vit. C. with Zinc for your immune system to fight this thing off.
