Day #4 of the "Cold from Hell"....has added a powerful, hurtful sneeze..to go along with all the other symptoms...will just have to ride this one out....
Plan after I feel better? Make a slipper storage thingy...to house all of the Boss' slippers...
Step One: Hauled a 1 x 6 x 5'6" Ash plank to the shop....intend to cut it in half, rotate the pieces to glue up into a panel....and go from there...
Stay tuned....Cuppa Irish Black Tea, with a few shots of Ryan's Irish Cream....for me sore throat, of course...
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Hope your cold isn't a more recent variant of COVID. After getting vaxxed and double boosted, I still ended up with COVID a couple of months ago. In 5 days, it was over, but it did start out like a bad cold. Everyone's symptoms seem to vary. I had to quarantine from work for a week. My wife wouldn't even sleep in the same bedroom or touch me for 2 weeks, for fear she'd catch it.
Still Learning,

My Covid also acted like the "cold from hell". I was sure it was a cold until my family insisted I test. My eyes felt like they were going to pop out of the sockets. I did get a set of pills because I also have a minor case of asthma. I have had a terrible cough for probably 3 weeks afterwords

Its interesting that ever since I began wearing masks in public (my bride has auto immune issues and is at significant risk and I don't want to be the source of her getting covid), I've not even had a case of the sniffles; this is since March of 2020. Normally, I'd get 3 or 4 colds each year, so there's something to be said for masking up in crowded places. I'm often the only person wearing one; was in the Home Depot and a guy asked me why I was masked given covid was "over" and I explained why and he was cool with that. This will be with us for some time; another interesting fact is that in the regular flue vaccine they still use variants from the 1918 flu pandemic! I kind of think that covid will end up the same way over time.

After more than a month with a bad cough, I got "nagged" into going to the doctor today. I hardly slept last night, there was kind of a rattling in my head when taking a breath. Dr. said my lungs were fine, that I had an upper respiratory issue. Prescribed Prednisone and said that should help. I was coughing up white chunks. Got two doses in me now, hope it works soon.

Never had Ryan's but I do like an Irish cream.
I also like Therafluu for bad colds. Not mixed with Irish cream though. Hope you get better soon.
