NOT fun. I'd recommend chicken soup to help make you feel a little
better, and whatever kind of juice you like that has vitamin C (certainly
can't hurt, at least). Do little things to help make you more
comfortable.
I've been in pretty good shape as far as colds go since January, but my
body has been going nuts in the mucus production department, so I hear you
on the throat matter, at least. What I've been doing is eating spicy
foods (spicy soups are really good), which helps loosen stuff up so I can
breathe -- but a lot of it goes into my throat so I end up sounding bad
when I'm actually mostly feeling good. Just something to keep in mind as
far as the soup goes....
