Starting a week ago Saturday night I started to have a dry cough. I thought no big deal, this is what happens in LV in the winter, because of how the cold dry air effects me. By Sunday evening I started feeling hot and achy all over, so I thought Ahhh Ohhh, this is something more. Yet I wasn't knocked on my a$$. Monday comes and goes still coughing uncontrolably and taking asprin, hot tea, soup and cough drops. Tuesday the Cleaning Lady comes and I help her do some stuff, still functional. Wednesday I start to feel really awefull. Thursdays a bit better so I go out and do some shopping for Cold Medicines etc..Friday feel worse, and am not sleeping anymore, cause as soon as I drift off I wake up scared as if I'm drowning. Saturday more of the same, except I kept busy by attending a Gun Auction in Ohio, only now the cough is breaking up and my nose is running like an open faucet. Today is better, the cough is quiet and the nose while still stuffy is not running. I still feel alittle hot... This is fking miserable, I havn't been as sick in about 10 years. Since i started taking Vitamin E about 6 or 7 years ago I have rarely ever been sick. BTW I started takin Vitamin E because it is supposed to lower the incidence rate of Prostrate Cancer in men who have been taking it for over 10 years. Even the Dog knows something is wrong with me...and has been watching me more closely. She has even been checking the Pets Wanted section of the Newspaper....

I am going to take Jeff Higgins advice and check back with my MD to find an alternative to the Bipap Machine I have...and I tried some Cold Remedies but they wind up making me feel really weird or wired.

The only reason I'm writing this is that I'm sick of suffering in silence...and want everybody to suffer with me now.
