electriclandI've decided my viruses are migratory, like a herd of stampeding wildebeest. It's the only explanation I can come up with for why the cough has stopped but I'm now completely congested: they have exhausted all the fodder in my trachea and have headed for the hills my sinuses.
That, or this whole germ theory of disease is irredeemably flawed and there's a half-inch demon running around my nasopharyngeal region and vandalizing my mucous membranes.
I bought some long-acting decongestant this morning in hopes that I won't wake up at 5 a.m. tomorrow.
Can this go away soon, please?

Date: 2004-01-09 09:28 am (UTC)When I was a wee lad lying in bed feeling crappy I used to imagine all the little critters inside me fighting and each time I took meds it was like a new shipment of weapons for the ones defending me or something. As I've grown older, I have noticed this one immutable fact.... doctors really don't have anything that is all that much better as a model. They understand some of why stuff happens, they even know how to fix quite a few things but it is all about aiding the body's natural healing ability.
If you ask a doctor why a cold happens to one person and not another the best they can say is something vague about immune systems... Or if you ask why this cold lasts so much longer for one person and not another they simply don't know. Which to me seems unsatisfactory by way of an answer.
