the sickness: day 3

It started Sunday morning when I awoke with a really bad sore throad. Although I guess it's possible that I actually got sick about a week ago, but been incubating for all that time (a week before Sunday I woke up with a terrible tickle in my nose indicating my sinuses were beginning to fill up).

It's just a head cold... slightly muffled hearing, runny nose, sore throat, but that makes for a terrible way to sleep. Sunday night I tossed and turned and got about 3 discouninuous hours of sleep, eventhough I took a melatonin. Everytime I lay down I got very nauseous. Last night stared out even worse until I remembered that I have a few Dramamine left... it's primary purpose is to relieve symptoms of motion sickness (including nausea) so I figured I'd give it a shot - and it worked beautifully.

NyQuil = BAD (makes me very delirious)
Dramamine = GOOD (not nauseous and sleepy!)

Now if only my ears stopped crackling.
