I'm sick and it sucks.

Stuffy nose, headache, chills, throwing up mucus. Ugh....I wish it would end already. I've been sleeping for a good portion of the day, I just had a bit of soup and some water because even though I don't feel like getting up if I don't drink fluids it's going to be very difficult to get over this. I also have been taking a lot of hot showers to try to open up my nasal passages. I really hate this feeling of yucky stuff constantly in my mouth since it's hard to prevent the mucus from traveling from nose to mouth when I'm laying down asleep.

Even though I had a flu shot, it felt like the flu - aches, fever, fatigue. My friend had the same problem and her doctor said the flu shot for this season was only about 50% effective.
