I am "notifying" you that you're just gonna have to sit there and be patient.

I don't even feel like doing anything but laying down and staring at the wall This is the second cough drop in thirty minutes. I am pretty sure I took my cold medicine about thirty minutes before the next recommended dose was well... recommended.
Yeah, I have a cold.. A horrible, nasty, please just shoot me now, cold. Did I mention I"m a big baby with these type of things? I just want to be left alone to stare at the wall and try to will the scratchy ickiness to go away.
*assumes fetal position*
I am accepting "poor baby's" and "hope you feel better soons" in the special marked box down below. 
That's not a thumb down that's just showing you where to coddle me.
No, but seriously, I'll be back later mylot...

You're funny in your misery. However, having recently felt that way, I DO feel sorry for you.

Take zinc. It works. Just make sure you eat food when you take it.

Thanks. I know they have those tablets that are supposed to knock the cold right out. I can't remember what it's called off hand though.
I've been drinking tea and water, taking tylenol PM for colds (have a bottle of the severe stuff when this other one finishes).

@teamfreak16 I am counting myself lucky that it's a winter cold.
I tend to get summer colds and THOSE are the worst.

I have had one cold after another for weeks. Not bad enough to stay home, just darned uncomfortable. I know how you feel. . . really. Some hot lemonade would probably help a lot. I should fix some for me.

I drank some peppermint tea and then boiled cinnamon sticks and drank that as tea.
I thought about getting some "Throat Coat" tea, I forget who makes it. I think traditional medicinals?
I've hardly slept the past two days. This morning I was waking up every few minutes. It's already in my chest after two days.
A friend of mine has said it's been going around near her, and that her fiance is still hanging onto the dreadful cough!

Poor thing..
I'm kind of the opposite.. when I get sick I just push through it. I do try to get a bit of sympathy from the hubby, but I just don't have the ability to let it get me down.

Oh, I am pulling through it too. I just like the sympathy! 
I guess it's a good thing i don't work until Friday. I am hoping it will be a distant memory by then. If not, oh well I'll be there.

It is NO Fun when you do not feel well and want to be on here posting. I have been dealing with a Bad migraine so I know the feeling. Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon. Will be lifting you up in prayer.

Thank You so much.
Oh yes, migraines are the worst. I've only had two or three in my life, but I really couldn't function with them. I have to put myself in a dark and cold room and let the ache ride out. I hope your migraines will subside soon.

Yes, the flu has been going around here as well. I think it's just a cold. I was having the worse respiratory problems early this morning but they seem to be subsiding some.
My family was telling me I should go to the doctor, but I am not having any of it. I"ll just wait it out. I already feel better.

@DianneN The cough drops I am using are honey flavored. I also added honey to a tea I made. Yes, Honey is my favorite for these types of things.

I've been trying to stay as hydrated as possible!
That whiskey DOES sound good though. I'm the only one that would go to the ABC store in the family though so it will just have to wait until I feel well enough!
