Yes that is the worst I know the common cold is scary, I always us KISS (Keep it simple Stupid) the virus is just a virus honey and will go away on its own everyone gets a bug now again. thinking about it this way helps when we get a virus it triggers out immune systmen then makes our immune system that much stronger after it fought off the virus.

Hi What you have just said about KISS Wow that is good not heard that before. I always think the worse when I am not well especially now as my nervers are in a sensitive state had a bad year last year maggiage break up house move lost my job went in hospital with water infection had a car crash is was the worst time 2010. and to ad to that my blood pressure went up a bit now I have a fear of having it done but I will now say to myself KISS. That's a good saying Thanky you And Tricia i know where you are coming from. xx
