Coughing up a Storm
I felt horrible when I went to bed last night. Well, actually it was early this morning. But on top of all the other lovely sinus infection symptoms I was experiencing, I started coughing. I searched the medicine cabinet for some cough medicine, to no avail. So I just went to bed and hoped for the best.
Fortunately I didn’t cough much overnight. But as soon as I got up this morning, it started again. Hubby was home from work today because of the snow, and he was all concerned. You’d have thought I had mesothelioma or something. But honestly, I was feeling much better than I have in several days. Now if the cough and phlegm and snot would just all go away, I would be as good as new.
I’m still debating on whether to take the steroids or not. They always make me feel horrible when I take them. But I do think a lot of my problem is inflammation, and that’s what the doc prescribed them for. Hubby picked them up for me, so maybe I’ll give them a try. If it takes feeling like crap for a while to get better in the long run, I suppose it’s worth it.
At any rate, at least I’m on the mend. It has been a long time since I had a sinus infection this bad, and I hope it’s a longer time before I have another one.
