Finally here - worst timing

[Cauldwell]

Hello from the forum member who, about a month ago, was bemoaning her lack of sneeziness.

Well I guess I should have realised the joke would be on me.

I'm flying out for a working holiday in 4 days; on long-haul flights that I can't change, and of course I'm now sporting what is turning into an unpleasant cold.

It started yesterday night with a scratchy throat and slight chills while I was watching le tour at my mother's house. This morning I was coughing dryly and worrying that I'd perhaps caught the dreaded high-fever flu. I spent most of the day in bed before getting up to drive back home where I slathered my chest in Vick's and treated myself to my fave sickkie meal (Heinz's tomato soup). Despite my malaise I had no intention of missing my homeboy beat the Schlecks

In the last few hours I've stared to stifle a few sneezes and my nose is starting to run, requiring quite wet blows. I'm sitting here sipping tea and honey and thinking of how much I need to get done before I go

I'll re-post when the sneezing inevitably kicks in

Nice obs, thanks for sharing. I hope you feel better soon.

Feel better!

Why is it that you can never catch a cold when you want to (like before an exam or something) but the second you're on vacation you get the world's worst cold? 'cause it's really annoying sometimes...

I have no idea, murphy's law?

Nose is much runnier today, but still only a couple of sneezes. The last one muffled into the big comfy t-shirt I'm wearing.

I tried inducing but my nose just ran

[Cauldwell]

Well the sneezing has arrived.

Where my left nostril was burning it's now tickling and running, inevitably setting off a sneeze. Currently I have plenty of warning to grab a tissue and carefully fold it before succumbing to a harsh, wet and loud single HIiiiSHEW!, then followed by an equally wet and gurgly blow. I have stifled a few when I've felt too lazy to get up, but as they're getting wetter I'm starting to carry the box about with me.

I guess it would be nice if I was one of those fittish people, but I rather enjoy the relief of a good stout sneeze.

Aw, feel better.

[Cauldwell]

Thanks for the well-wishes guys.

It's actually turned into the perfect cold; I'm sneezing every 5 minutes or so, followed by watery blows that soak through tissues, and fortunately only a slight cough.

Also I can induce with absolutely no trouble, so it's basically sneezes on tap. Huh-chew!

I'm thinking of doing some recording, actually...

After 2 years of perfect health it's quite enjoyable, and mild enough that I should be mostly over it by wednesday. Well fingers crossed

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well too. I have a cold and I have having harsh fits of AIIICHEWW type sounding ones of 5-8 in a row Blowing my nose tickles my nose more and my nose keeps tingling b/c harsh wet sneezes are impending. Someone help

Is that anything like the perfect storm? Did you end up recording it?
