This hasn't been the worst cold I've ever had.
Most of the really bad stuff - the fever, urge to vomit and/or pass out - happened yesterday.
Today, it's been mostly stuffiness and a runny nose.
Here's the thing, though. I've never been a 'honker,' in that runny noses don't blow well for me. Dry, clogged noses, sure. Expel the roadblock, and I'm fine. But runny noses, no. A little might come out, but they never unclog. I have to take DayQuil or somesuch to dry my nostrils out and THEN blow my nose.
Even a sneeze is usually just a tickle in my nose that tells me 'hey, something's trapped back here.' Nothing happens, but a sneeze tells me that I *can* clear my sinuses.
Not today, though.
No, today, the sneezes have been doing the sinus-clearing all by themselves. Quite violently, I might add.
Can't say I didn't warn you in the thread title.
