Why do I always get such a stinking cold?

Me, dh and ds all have colds atm.

Ds always gets a terrible cough and earache, dh just seems to get a sore throat and a sniffle.

I seem to always end up with an absolutely, streaming nose and eyes. I look like absolute shit. My nose won’t stop running and I’m getting through thousands of tissues.

For most people a cold just seems to be a mild illness but I have so much bloomin mucus. Luckily I’m off work because I couldn’t go in like this. Can’t sleep at all because I can’t breath through my nose.

Dh reckons he just handled it better than me. Keeps having a go at me for blowing my nose constantly.

Am I a wimp or do some people suffer badly with colds?

No advice OP but my poor nose is only getting back to normal as it was raw red from wiping.

Yes some suffer more the others - it’s how your immune system is reacting I would guess

saline nose sprays are really good
