Sick

[dalthauser]

I came down sick Monday, but I beat it off - or so I thought.  Yesterday morning I woke up with sore throat, congestion, and the whole official cold symptoms.  Yuck.  Can't be off work because I'm training for me new job duties, so I dropped in to CVS for an arm full of help.  NormalIy I try and take as little as possible, but I really need to get through the next two days.  I got...
Chloraseptic  Spray (operative word here "septic" as it tastes like a septic tank smells)
Riccola Cough Drops
Alka Seltzer Plus
Mucinex (the middle one extra strength but not the one that makes you sleepy)
Niquil (so I will sleep good and get enough rest)

I wonder if it's bad to mask the sneezing and coughing, and running of mucus, etc.?  Isn't your body doing that for a reason?  


On a positive note - I'm going to like my new job area.  Same basic job, but less of the high pressure sales part (which I absolutely hate).  I also have my own little cubicle (sad right - being grateful for having a cubicle)

I have always wondered if it's wise to medicate 24 hours a day thought a sneezing, coughing, mucus mess. I sort of agree that your body needs to release that and is doing it for a reason.


That said,if you gotta make it though work, medicate!! I hope you feel better soon.

I don't usually medicate because the cure always makes me feel worse than the curse.
I hope you get over it quickly.
