For the past three weeks I have been afflicted with a mighty cold which seems to be hitting many of Dundee’s student population. I have never liked colds, and in the past I have always had a immune system that seemed to trump any of my family or peers. Not this time.
This cold has not been the best thing for me. As I pump money for medication and pump medication into myself, I have had little concentration on some of the more interesting parts of life. It’s caused me to become groggy, tired most of the time and ultimately short with people around me. I hate that.
While it’s a nice reminder that I’m human and that at any time my mood, physique and other factors of who I am can change due to circumstances outwith my control… I just want to feel well again. The cold means that I haven’t been able to exercise that much and that’s shown, at least to me, on a little bit of weight gain.
There are so many things I want and need to do… Projects and clients that need satisfied and definitely class work that needs my full concentration, which right now I just can’t give.
It’s been a hard few weeks, and if by Wednesday this cold has yet to recover it’s off to the GP to see what aid I can get prescribed. I have to, and I want to, get on with my life without these problems affecting me. Why can’t I?
Got any tips to get rid of a stubborn cold? I think I need them all!
