ysobel...more for my own record-keeping than anything else, but.
So the progression of this thing has been kind of weird for me:
- Tuesday morning, wake up with practically no voice. By Thursday, speaking voice is a bit lower than normal but I can talk and sing (!).
- Tuesday afternoon, get a wickedbad headache that the painkillers I take don't seem to touch; stabbing pain in right temple + really bad neckache. Lasts through Wednesday night, gone by Thursday
- Wednesday morning, throw up, which may or may not have direct causality with the headache. (Nausea started Tuesday evening, to the point that I got out of bed for a few hours just in case -- I can't roll over, turn my head, or sit up, so any sort of vomiting while lying on my back is not a good thing -- and more or less went away after the actual upthrowing.)
- Thursday sometime, develop a dry cough that turns into a wet cough. First productive cough (I hate that description, because it's so damn positive for something that basically translates to "got gunk out of lungs") Friday night, continuing to present. Worse when I lie down (I didn't get to sleep for at least two hours last night because about every twenty minutes or so my lungs would start gunking up and then I would have to cough and then I'd be all awake again)
- Saturday sometime, start getting sinus involvement too, along with weird ear-pressure and head-cotton issues that are probably related, continuing to present
Current state of things is that there is gunk in my lungs (I would really like to be able to breathe again thank you very much) and gunk in my head (well, sinuses, technically) and none of it is alarming in consistency or color or anything like that, just really fucking annoying. Sigh.
(Plus, with my head all cottoned up, I can't really focus on anything of consequence. Which translates into a string of WoW achievements that are really more embarrassing, in a I-have-no-life way, than anything else: maxed fishing, Limnologist, three fish away from Oceanographer, northrend gourmet and other cooking achievements, and I am precisely two recipes away from Outland Gourmet and from the Chef title, but annoyingly they are the two recipes that can only be gotten as random awards from the freaking daily cooking quest in freaking outlands. And I also made progress on the Children's Week achievement -- which, I might add, I am still bitter about the PvP elements, of which I have half.)
(...and I really wish Azeroth capital cities had direct portals to shatt and dal -- probably with a level restriction, but that wouldn't affect a max-level char -- because there are Things I want to do in outlands and northrend and I tend not to because it's so freaking annoying to get there.)
