I have had a horrendous "cold" since January 5. That makes one full month. I have stayed home on occasion, but mostly been at work and doing normal things. I eat very well and get about 8 hours a night sleep.
This cold has gone from a very sore throat with swollen glands where I could barely speak, to massive sneezing, to a brief and light stomach flu with dizziness, to the stage it is now, sitting in my chest, where I hack up all kinds of unmentionables all day and no doubt my asthma makes it worse.
I fully lost my sense of taste and smell, and it is only now starting to get back, but I still blow my nose and wheeze/cough all day.
Is this normal? People keep telling me to go to the Dr. but I feel totally ridiculous going to the Dr. for a COLD!
Any advice, medical or otherwise would be helpful!
