This cold is getting me down. I’m actually better. The sore throat is completely cured but I still have congestion. The point is I’m a little frightened and from what I remember, I only used to get toughness for a response from my parents whenever I was sick, and that just makes it disguised, not cured.

Do you have any herbal tea and some lemon and honey? It could be both comforting and good for your throat. You could also take a bath - that feels good too.

I rarely drink tea but that sounds like a good idea. I’ll ask my provider if she’s got some.

Feel better @PinCushion hugs 
I hope it helps 
I started thinking of this when I went outside for a walk one day:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
Agh! It’s too much for me.

+1 to honey and lemon tea. It’s my go to when I’m not feeling well. That or really strong peppermint tea if I can’t breathe.
Hope you feel better soon.

I did get out today for the first time since Friday. I needed to get my sister a birthday card.

Well, I just went for a walk but had to cut it short because it is getting too cold now.
Then, I remembered we haven’t used our fireplace in ages.
Used to love the smell of burning wood around this time of year.
@LilyoftheValley! Do you play the piano? I play. How long have you been playing? I’ve been playing for 12 years this upcoming February 2018. I still consider myself a student. I’m at advanced intermediate level. I think.

“Red Zinger” is supposed to be good herbal tea. I think it has vitamin C in it. I hope you get better soon.
You are a very sweet person chordy
I started playing as soon as I could sit up. I’m 40 now. But I only play on occasion now. I used to play 6-8 hours a day.

Eat some chicken soup to loosen the congestion, and to hydrate your body’s immune system. Keep warm especially on your chest.

Honey and cinnamon taken together 3 times a day soothes the throat and works like an antibacterial
I’m a little curious…is it harder or easier for you guys to get sick with your conditions? Its harder for me to get sick now for some reason…which is good I THINK.
Supposedly antipsychotics prevent sickness like colds but it’s not fool proof
hmm, didn’t hear about that…interesting
