Being Sick Sucks

I am going on two continuous weeks of being sick, have slept 40 of the last 48 hours, missed several days of work, had to move to continue a trial, and I'm still coughing and half dazed, although it is better than it was at the low point. This is with a wide assortment of vitamins, home remedies, over the counter medicines and prescription medicines over that time period. 

Despite all of the advances medicine has made, if you get a moderately bad but not life threatening viral infection, suck it up and rest, while treating the symptoms, is ultimately the best we can do to cure it.

On the plus side I've lost more than 52 pounds since April 2, 2018, almost none of which because I'm sick.
