Posting for a virtual hug because it’s the middle of the night and I’m feeling sorry for myself!

Anyone else got a bad cold right now?

I had a bit of a cold last week, starting Monday (i think). For the next few days afterwards I had really minor cold symptoms- mainly just a slightly wheezy cough but I thankfully didn’t have a blocked or runny nose or things like that. The symptoms really weren’t that bad, and they got better quickly. Unfortunately yesterday I felt the cough worsen, and tonight I fell asleep and woke up with my chest completely clogged with mucus, and I’ve spent the night coughing up green gunk to the point I’ve now made my throat sore too! The cough is now a proper gunky cough now too (not sure if a gunky cough explains it but hopefully you know what I mean- one of those coughs where you can sort of hear the mucus!)

basically it’s become a proper cold 😥

thankfully I’ve avoided the blocked/runny nose and other symptoms, it’s just purely the chest symptoms. I know it’s just a nasty cold but I’m so frustrated, I absolutely hate colds and even though they’re harmless I dread them because the symptoms are so annoying!

just feeling a bit sorry for myself and needed a rant☹️

Colds are so horrible. Impossible to sleep when you so desperately need sleep.
I just wake up at 4am randomly! I hope you feel better soon x

Just posting an update because I still feel sorry for myself! I forgot how much I hate colds, I wasn’t even this bad when I had covid!

Hardly got any sleep last night because lying down makes it so much worse. I’ve tried to cough all the green stuff up to get rid of it quicker but it feels like there’s just more and more! I still don’t have a blocked or runny nose, the only issues I’m having is a clogged up chest and a cough- it’s so frustrating. I’ve tried all the usuals- vicks, lemsip, cold/flu tablets, nothing is making a difference so I guess I’ll have to ride it out.

There’s some really horrible colds and bugs going round right now and I was counting myself lucky to avoid them all so far!🥴
