My throat hurts, and I'm coughing bad enough to bring up spit sometimes.

I have a cold, and it's the beginning of May.

What the hell, immune system?!?

You sure it's a cold and not just allergies? God knows I have them that bad around this time of the year.

The sore throat started creeping up on me Saturday. I took a Zicam Sunday, and by that evening I was starting up with the coughing.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a cold.

Ouch. Hope you get better soon.

Well, if the weather/temperature down your way has been anything like ours not too far north, it's been changeable enough that it could bring such a thing on. I know I've been feeling a sore throat on and off lately myself.

Hope you're feeling better soon, though. I've been there before myself at this time of the year, and it's never fun.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

Goddamn weather.

Colds aren't really limited to actual temperature, though they do infect more people during winter months because of reduced immune efficiency, stress and time spent indoors and in close proximity with other people who might have caught it. Spring and summer colds are pretty frequent too due to similar reasons.

Sorry for the pointless data. I should have been an epidemiologist.

Eh, I'm just pissed that I managed to go the whole winter without so much as a sniffle, and then bam! I get it now.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well Iap. I hope you get better soon.

Thanks. You and me both.

Did I just spread my cold through the internet? If I did, I'm sorry.

For serious, though, fluctuating temperatures cause colds more often than in winter, and if your area's been bipolar in regards with weather...

Anywho, feel better. Bed rest and fluids'll get you through it.

Oh, so it's your fault!

"bipolar in regards with weather..." That's pretty much an understatement.
