Okay I'm not really dying but I am going on day 14 of being sick. For someone, like myself, that is a healthy person 14 days is TOO LONG. I feel like I have been sick forever and I am so sick of being sick! I miss working out and RUNNING! Oh my goodness do I miss running right now. Really, I probably could go running but the thought of snot flying out my nose does no appeal to me at all. During my sickness there have been times that I have started feeling better so I would try exercising and the next day I would feel worse. I didn't do anything major. One day I did just some squats and push ups, stuff like that. Another day I did some walking on the treadmill. It was so hard just to walk, I wanted to run but I stuck with 4 mph on the treadmill with an incline. I've read somewhere that exercise can be good to help bust a cold but you have to find that perfect balance between not enough and too much. I guess I did too much... but I felt like I did nothing in comparison to other, healthy days.
I originally blamed stress from work for this horrid sickness but the last few days haven't been super crazy for me so it must be something else. Did I mention this is the second time this year that I have been sick? Last time I had a temperature of 101 the day before I was suppose to start my new job. My fever broke just before I left for work the next day but the first week was full of me being sick. Now, only 30 days later, I'm sick again.
Anything that you read online about being sick with common cold symptoms says that if it lasts for more than 10 days see a doctor. I called my doc and he is booked until Thursday! I still made my appointment. I don't know why I feel so disappointed about having to wait 3 days. It's not like my doctor has a miracle drug that will cure me in 24 hours so whats another 3 days waiting I guess. Honestly, I dislike going to see the doctor. I looked at Web MD, even though my hubby says I should never self diagnose unless it is a last resort. I could have sinusitis. Whatever it is, it just needs to go away. My sister-in-law just had a baby so I would really like to go see my new nephew but I probably shouldn't while I am sick. It's a total bummer. I am trying to do all that I can to get better, trying to get to sleep early, taking vitamin C, trying to eat healthier than I normally do but so far no long lasting luck.
Anyone have any great "cold buster" ideas?
