Got a cold :-(

this is not the first cold I have got since being dx with Sjogrens.  All previous colds have been 'dry' but still feeling very bunged up and the usual 'grotty' feeling you get with a cold.

This one is the opposite.  I started feeling horrible on Wednesday, really bad head with sore throat and dizziness and could hardly lift my head.  Thursday the streaming nose starts (now there is a novelty) and the sore throat eases.  Friday more of the same. Saturday infected mucus (oh joy) and starting a chesty cough....Today, well, still the infected mucus and an horrendous chesty cough as this seems to have descended to my chest. 

Looks like tomorrow is a round of hospital appointments and then a trip to my GP to see if it warrants anti biotics.

can't say I like this streaming nose.....I am fast resembling rudolph!

I came down with the exact same symptoms a week ago.  Streaming nose, lol!  It's just starting to ease up now, thank goodness...hope it does for you quickly.  I didn't need antibiotics, but I've gone through 2 boxes of kleenex in a week.
