Fighting off a flu in twelve hours

Last night right before bed I could feel a cold coming. The back of my throat started to ache right around 2am or so when I was about to sleep. I got back up out of my bed and took more OPC-3's. I already had a lot that morning and night because I was trying to use it to take care of my allergies. I didn't want to rely on Zyrtec. It has been working since I was taking it in pretty large quantity.

Well even though I had 6 caps that day already I had another 2 since I felt that cold. I did not want to get sick.

All night last night I started to just toss and turn in my bed because my entire body started to really ache. The back of my throat was feeling rather nasty and I can tell this was one tough bug I am fighting off. I didn't have that great of a night as my body was totally trying to fight off this bug. I totally can feel my body using all its energy to do this hence the aching of my whole body.

Fortunately when morning came...

...the back of my throat was feeling not as painful. It never turned into a nasty sour throat. I was totally waken up around 9 or 10 I think. I really don't remember since I didn't check the clock. I got up to take another 3 more caps of OPC-3's to help fight it off. I was burning under my blanket too, feeling the heat. But I kept my whole body inside the blanket as I tried to get more rest. Then I started to feel a little bit of a runny nose as my throat gotten better. Then about 30 mins after taking the morning dose of OPC-3, I felt the urge to vomit twice. Then that pass and I coughed a couple of times 30 mins later. I finally got up out of my bed at 11am. From then till noonish I got a lot better and the cold was pretty much all gone. I took more OPC-3 this afternoon and now I feel pretty much like I did before this all hit.

So that's my 12 hours flu/cold experience. I am glad I am great now cause I just booked a little Voice over gig for Friday. I was so determined that I will not get sick and I guess my determination with the help of my mom's OPC-3 (Market America brand) really did the job!!!! Now I am all good!!!
