A few hours ago I started feeling the makings of a cold coming. Sniffles, which is now a partially plugged nose. I also have that heavy feeling in the chest that you get just before a chest cold.

I took some Tylenol, and I'm about to pop a Mucinex. (better check and see if Mucinex has Tylenol) Any suggestions on making this stupid thing back off and not ruin my thanksgiving or tick off the MS Trolls in my head?

I've got a couple of bottles of water, which I'm planning on sucking down as the night goes on. I know that fluids really do help. But, I havent had many colds since being diagnosed with MS, and never know what to do to hopefully keep it from making the MS mad. (I do have some Tamiflu, just in case this starts feeling like the flu)

I'm a bit irritated. It's kicking in a day before thanksgiving, and I really do not want to give it to my dad. He's got a heart problem, and he's been having a crappy month with some asthma problems and a really bad cough from that (wont go to the doctor, no matter how much I beg him)

I've got a mostly full bottle of Purell, and a nice assortment of cold medicines. I hope I at least feel good enough to be able to go to dinner on thursday. (altho, I probably shouldnt. My hypochondriac aunt will be there. I'm a bit evil. I might go just to make her hypochondria go nuts)

I hope it isnt the flu. I had a flu shot on friday. (this is what always makes me suspicious of flu shots...getting a cold immediately after a vaccine)

Good thing I stocked up on Kleenex the other day.

Oh, and I have a fever of 100. Great. (work little Tylenols! work!)
