Sick, Cold

2013-10-12 – 2013-11-20

Grade: 3

started off with body aches, from hair to toenails, fever/chills. developed sore throat. throat became bad, I think it was a canker sore in my throat, just out of reach of gargling. quite painful, preventing sleep (startled awake by jolt of pain when swallow). throat sore mercifully subsided after 3-4 days. Thought I was better - nope, I had just gotten rid of the worst symptoms of body aches and sore throat - I still had a full blown cold with below the neck symptoms. the cold with couch, fatigue, fuzzy head, some headaches persists.

very gradually recovered. left feeling like I have mononucleosis, needing lots of sleep, very often tired.
