Being sick is the stupidest thing ever, I swear. Can't sleep well because I'm coughing a bunch (with the help of robitussin it's about every 45 minutes instead of every 10), and coughing and swallowing both hurt way more than is sensible when I don't actually have razor blades in there... oh and my left ear is starting to feel sus...

Also the fun of chronic headaches is: this is day four of symptoms (day five if I count generally feeling off on Thursday, which is not itself a guaranteed symptom (I'm an introvert who needs aides, and several are new, an occasional off-feeling day comes with the territory) but in retrospect may have been related) and I feel a headache threatening, is that a new symptom of whatever I have, or a tangential symptom from having a lower appetite than usual, or just unrelated coincidence?

I've been monitoring for fever and so far it's been ok, just throat congestion and laryngitis (thank fuck for text to speech) and pain on swallowing (especially empty swallows, where it's just saliva; eating and drinking is less bad), and a weird increase in inhaling saliva when im trying to swallow it when I'm lying on my back (which is the only way I can sleep) but... that's more than enough kthx.
