…we sure needed it but its side effect has been making me feel like crap. The symptoms I have are similar to a cold/flu yet I don’t have a temperature. Could’ve fooled the rest of my body given the headache I had (I swear it could’ve killed an elephant and took a day to subside), sore throat, chills, fatigue and aching joints. The best part? It amplifies the persistent cough I’ve been fighting for what, three years now? Not one quack I visit will give a steroid shot to push my immune system over to finally kill this. No, instead I have to live through long bouts of hacking, especially after any strenuous exercise such as walking up a flight of stairs. Recently, it was bad enough to strain my abdominal muscles. Over the last several days, I’ve had at least one coughing fit per day resulting in borderline puking.
Yeah, gross. At least you know why I’m inconsistent on the ‘net. I managed to schedule Thursday off from work as I felt it coming down Wednesday afternoon. It carried over into Friday so I just used an unplanned day. I knew I wasn’t going to be missed since I can’t be taken seriously unless “the leadership” needs someone to fall on a customer-service grenade they’re “too important” to handle.
