Experiences of cold...ala MG style

This is Sujatha Srinivasan's experiences with cold & fever... she has decided not to take any medicines. (Ooch.. i took one crocin on day 2. Maybe that was due to severity of the virus and also to satisfy people at home... from then on, I have cautiously not taken any medicine.) :)

Best Wishes dear little tall girl... hehe.. encouraging myself... :)

Day One: At Chennai (14.02.10)
Feeling grogy. Tired. Want to lie down in the bed all time.
Early symptoms of cold. Took two garlic pearls.

Day Two: On Train... reached Coimbatore in the afternoon.
Completely unwell. Tired.
Sure of having caught cold. Took chicken soup. Helped sit in office for sometime. Took one crocin in the night but still had a troubled sleep.

Day Three: Took leave.
No way, I could think of exerting myself.
Running nose made me run every few minutes to the wash basin. Drowsiness and sickness made me mad. Watched three films at home to whale away the time and also pain.

Day Four: Went to office.
Wanted to file something, but still not well. Running nose picked up by headache subdued.

Day Five: Went to office.
Still worse. Felt sick in the morning but somehow made up to Jairam Ramesh press meet. I looked horrible and Ramesh was searching for ET correspondent, when I was sitting right under his nose!
Came back to office and filed a report, also another story following BSE annoucement.
Returned home with terrible headache, which continued into the night leaving me sleepless.

Day Six: Went to office.
Got up with giddiness. Wish I took leave. But somehow managed to reach office with heavy cold and dizziness.
Tired and unable to open eyes. Took lemon jucie in the morning to add to my immune power. :)
The temperature has started to rise and my whole body is in little shivers... will i make it through this experiment without taking doctor's help! Let me wait and see.
