I'm confused.
This past Friday afternoon, I started to feel tired. My sinuses also felt kind of achy, although I had no congestion. I figured I was just tired. On top of it, my DD (15) had a HORRENDOUS cold, so the thought occurred that I might be getting this and I started the Zicam swabs on Friday evening.
Woke up Saturday morning. No worse. I was achy and tired all day, though, and again, my sinuses just felt funny. I didn't have a fever. On Saturday evening, I had a few "hard" sneezed. My DD said "Uh oh, you sound like you're getting my cold." Continued with the Zicam.
On Sunday, I felt about the same again. No changes. Lower body aches. My friend told me that the pollen count for trees had just started and it was pretty high. She thought maybe it might be an allergy. I do have some allergies but they are genuinely mild. I stopped the Zicam.
Yesterday, I go to work and I didn't feel to bad in the A.M. I had to leave work early as my DD's cold was getting her down so badly and she couldn't handle school. Later in the afternoon, I was feeling bad again. Predominantly tired and achy. I checked my temp and the highest it ever got was 99.3. A little nasal congestion and VERY minor coughing. Went to bed and woke up at 2:00 a.m with congestion (mild) and mainly achiness. I took some Tylenol and that seemed to help. Dragged myself to work and I just feel tired, achy, and some nasal congestion.
My eyes don't itch. It just doesn't feel like an allergy nor does it feel like a true cold. I just don't feel well.
What do you think? Have you ever had anything like this?
