Very dry!

Tweet

I am back after a few days of absence, my friends. Well, we have a stable internet connection and no power interruption, but because of this very erratic climate that we are experiencing now (it was hot last Friday, then it became cool again at dusk, with some brief drizzles too), this caused me to have sneezes and nasal congestion again. I had to wear my sweater while I was making a discussion (about that staff nurse who thought I did not know that Levophed increases the blood pressure), until I logged out with a different feeling. At night, I could not sleep well. The cough I had was so dry; so dry that I felt my eyeballs wish to pop out, and my epiglottis and uvula want to fly away. Again, my voice sounds more transgender-ish, and this was affirmed by my former students when I had some calls from them. (Ma’am, what happened to your voice?”) I only take Clusivol; I think I should take more vitamin C and zinc (like Conzace), but this will depend on my cardiologist’s prescription. I will have my check-up next Wednesday anyway, I can still wait for that time. Increase in lukewarm oral fluid intake, lots of citrus fruits, and more food--- I practice that; however, I have no sense of taste. I have appetite but no taste. I gargle with Listerine and Bactidol to no avail. I had to take a cup noodle YAKISOBA for lunch because it was spicy, but I was able to consume half of it. I ate a piece of orange given by a former student; still, no taste. Sadly, that is the prize of having a very dry cough!
