OMG. I have been down with this stupid cold for a good week now, after trying to sleep it off Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and I am still tired and stuffed up and my throat hurts so much sometimes that I dread swallowing. I just want to run around flapping my hands at it telling it to just let me get better kthxbai. Or at least let me breathe unhindered?

In other news, I wasted the entire weekend by sleeping through most of it and reading trashy books when I wasn't sleeping.

Hee, I haven't even gotten to all the ones I have been reading!

Thanks! What is spiky pain? Mine is mostly early in the morning and late at night, and it's the area around the tonsils that really starts hurting. It goes away most of the time, but the late night one kind of sucks.

The spiky pain was like having jagged metal cutting into my flesh, and it did not go away at all. My throat felt partially closed with swelling, and I was running a high fever (but was so sick I wasn't really aware of it until roomie hustled me to doctor).

I think anything that lasts more than 3 days warrants checking in with a nurse or someone - at the least, maybe they can give you codeine cough syrup, or something palliative.

Oof, ouch! Okay, definitely not that at least... it feels more of an extension of the usual mild sore throatness. It seems to be getting better by the day so far, even if "better" is never quite as much as I want it to be.
