I had the flu.....and I got over it.
I don't want it at all, as I literally get about an hour of sleep a night when my nose is all stuffed up. Plus I have problems with my sinuses so getting a cold tends to cause infection too. Propping my pillows up higher gives me neckache, and I take meds and have hot steaming baths to help clear my sinuses but with a cold my sinuses just won't clear. As I fall asleep my mouth closes, which jolts me awake if the nose is too blocked, and this carries on each night throughout the course of the flu. I can live through the flu if it only consists of aching, temperature and drowsiness, but when the nose is involved, it causes distress. I've even tried sedatives, which work well when I'm healthy, but when I have a cold even sedatives can't help me doze off. It's horrible. I hate colds. Why can't colds, flus and sickness be like chickenpox, where you only get once in your life then it's all over with?
