I have slept for 3 days.Too sick to care, to sick to go to work.

My head exploded into several galaxies during the night, so I guess, I feel better. Is 4 days too long to wait to get better, or time to go to a doctor.? What would a doctor do that cinnamon toast can't take care of.

A doctor can do nothing for a common cold as it is a virus. The only thing that can be done is to treat the symptoms that befall the sufferer, like the stuffy nose, coughing, and head pressure

; all treatable by over the counter cold medicine, not antibiotics. I hope this helps.

For those out there that sent me good wishes and chicken soup thoughts.

Thanks Starbuck. She actually did do something for me. Gave me a prescription for meds. The chest cough improved over night. The OTC's I was taking for 3 days weren't touching it. Now , just a matter of letting it run it's course and not turn into pneumonia.

Also got a flu shot, and a note not to return to work till next week.

Two aspects of a single reality, coming together to light the darkenss. Evolving and healing in the circle of night to day.

Healing to all.
