I hate being sick

[fbhjr]

It's 2:30 in the morning and I can't sleep because every time I lie down my head fills with fluid and I get a coughing fit.
I have a design review later this morning, so calling in isn't really an option.
It would be nice to get some sleep.
I hate being sick...

I hope you got some sleep in the end and feel better now.

I hope you feel better soon!

Also, how do you know that there's fluid in your head...? What does that feel like?

When I am upright my nose drips a lot. When I lay down, it doesn't but there is a lot of presure behind it. I therefore assume that the liquid can not flow out when I lay down.

oh no

*makes you a hot lemon honey tea and some vegemite toast*

Vegemite toast fixes everything *nods*

It is very true that I have never had a cold that could withstand vegemite.
But, as I can't get it here, that doens't prove much...

Once I shared my address but you didn't share yours. If you PM me yours (no pressure!) I will send you some :)

Are you allowed to send it to other countries? Normally food items are difficult.

I had some in April when I was in Wales. It was OK, but very salty. I like salt a lot, so I can see how it could become adictive.

I've sent it all over the world and haven't had a problem yet.

I hope you had it on bread or toast with butter and didn't use too much - the secret is to just use it very lightly .. like a skid mark for want of a better description. YOu don't spread it like you would peanut butter!

Re: oh no

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

I probably wasn't as light as you describe, but certainly was not at peanut butter levels.

sounds like you did it right! :)

I just found out this morning that there is a British Imports place in Westford!

is there any way to sleep propped up a bit?
i was like that recently and not lying completely flat helped with my sleep.
i hope you get sleep soon. being sick sucks... :(

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

getting something underneath your pillow so your heads stays higher up might help a bit.

Get better soon!!

I hope you feel better soon and get some sleep.

This sounds like approximately zero percent fun. Especially given that you have a thing that has to be done :/

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ugh! So many people seem to be getting sick about now. I hope your head clears soon and your work day is easy!

[brickhousewench.livejournal.com]

Ugh dude, so sorry you're sick!

I hope you were able to sleep in a chair/propped up?

[circumspectly.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better, quickly!

Whatever is going around this year is just miserable. I hope you're feeling better.
