During the day, I feel like I'm about over this cold, but the last 2 nights I cough as soon as I lie down. I can't sleep from the coughing, so dug out my cough syrup-it expired in 2005 & was thick. So I bought some more but I cannot open it. You have to pinch & turn and I can't do it. So after 2 nights of very little sleep, I just don't feel right today. I'm not particularly stiff, but I have no strength at all in my hands and my brain & body just feel off.
What a way to feel on my birthday, oh well. I'll just take it easy today & maybe I'll ask my neighbor to open the syrup for me. I've been digging around and maybe have come up with a different lid that would work so that I can get into it later. Even my sleeping pill cannot conquer the cough.
Think I'll finish my book-it is tying up all the loose threads & is so riveting right now. I can't wait to find out how it ends.

Happy Birthday Christine - get that neighbour to unscrew the lid so you have a less coughing birthday please! Tilda xx
Ahr i really do understand what its like when your ill and on your own, i get so frustrated when i cant open things, even when iv got jar and bottle openers. when i get a cough it goes worse lying down, try raising your head on another pillow it does help... I was recommeneded to take Manuka honey, a stronger one like 10+ with some squeezed fresh lemon juice, a drop of warm water mixed up, and boy does it soothe that throat.. Try it it really works... also the Manuka honey has healing properties in it to help your cough. Happy Birthday,, hope you feel better soon..
