I don't care if it's a crowd!
I'm sick and tired. That's all.

We all have chronic coughs around here, for various reasons.

Chronic not only gives me coughs, it also gives me ferocious cottonmouth.

Just different types of decongestant.
Some with paracetemol, some with caffeine (not many) some with added Vitamin C.
All spaced properly apart.

None since yesterday when I had my viral explosive sickness.
Which I wondered if it was connected to the tablets (as it felt like the codeine reaction I had the other year). But nothing going, just a bug.

I still have a good old rattly cough.
Which I didn't have yesterday as I was throwing up all the congestion.
But at least today I can cough it up again without throwing up.

There's always one step further down you can go it seems.

So do you have a lot of mucus in your lungs or is it just in the back of your throat?

A while back I had a cough that was caused by chronic post-nasal drip. I was always hacking and especially at night, so I wasn't getting a good nights rest. I ended up using a combination of guaifenesin w/ a cough suppressant and an antihistamine at night, and then pseudoephedrine and antihistamine during the day, and I finally got some relief.

Back of my throat. I assume.
If it was lungs I'd have worse symptoms.

*** SFW but nasty - text only ***






Before I actually became Mr Creosote, I was coughing up things you would expect to see in your tissue when you blow your nose.
I mean - seriously.
Green stringy strands and more solid bogeys (boogers).
I have never in my life coughed something into my mouth that belongs in my nose.
Revolting.

Sorry - I did warn you.

My nose is not longer running badly, although I blow my nose more than a person in normal health.
But my throat needs an ice-cream scoop to sort it out.

Check your feet; 'cause, if your nose runs and your feet smell ... you're upside down.

So the office is again dropping like flies. 4 or 5 out on vacation, another 4 called in sick today. We just keep passing it around.

It's only scorching my groove because my tummy is teh oogy and I don't want to get sick AGAIN.

Wish me luck it's just a passing gastrointestinal event.

Oh yeah, I forgot I'm pregnant.

No, tummy has settled. I'm good to go.

My groove isn't scorched...

but my canal is coated. With superglue. I had a tickle in my right ear, I stuck my finger in there to untickle it, and found that my finger had had a coating of still wet superglue, which was fortuitously wiped clean on the inside of my f*cking ear.

I swear, I can't take me anywhere.


...wha?



I SAID I CAN'T TAKE ME ANYWHERE!
