I ask myself this question all the time. How much more free time would I have? What would it be like to read an article and not question whether you have the same thing, or are coming down with the same thing? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to google symptoms and not automatically jump to the worst case scenario?
For example - I caught my husbands cold on Christmas Day. I get a cold every year, that inevitably goes to my chest, so this is nothing new for me lol. Had a couple rough feeling days, super low grade fever, just enough to make me feel crappy. Started getting better, but developed sinus pressure. Again, no biggie - been there before. Cough has been a pain, mostly productive but an annoyance. Now this morning, cough feels tighter. Still productive, but tighter. So my rational mind is trying to say that the bronchial passages are irritated and inflamed from all the coughing. But then I read a random article on my Facebook feed of a woman in my area that had the flu that went to pneumonia and now is in ICU :scared15:
First off, I don’t think I even had the flu :doh: and my fever has not come back since the initial couple days. Sinus pressure is mostly gone, just a runny nose now. No fatigue or body aches, I know I don’t need to worry, but that article is just forever in the back of my mind, nagging me and causing annoying butterflies in my stomach. HA and negative thinking are serious pains in the rear. Off to take some Mucinex and get on with my day - time to find a distraction!! :roflmao:
