Okay yeah so I am sick, with something shitty. Not so much my sinuses, but full body aches and feeling so fatigued regardless of how much I sleep. I guess this cold sore decided to flare up because of my weakened immune system, plus I have my period as well 💀
So weird tho, that’s it’s flared up now when I’ve had COVID three times and never had a cold sore then, or 8 years with an abusive prick and no cold sore. The body is so weird and interesting.
On the subject of the body and it’s myriad of intertwining systems, I recommend the following YT channels for more cool body science:
RoanokeGaming: a biologist who discusses horror/sci-fi films and whether the stuff portrayed in them is biologically viable, or discusses how they could happen (such as how a zombie virus might actually work).
Chubbyemu: a clinical pharmacist and toxologist who discusses real cases (whether it’s one case, or one case that’s a combination of multiple for storytelling purposes), and talks about the biology of what happened.
Phy the Neutrophil: biology instructor that focuses more on the microbiology of pathogens (his animations are awesome)!
I think you’ve got what I got over the weekend. 2 days of chills/fever (fairly severe) then nose & eyes running like Cathy Freeman but no sore throat (??). And coughing up silly putty. And a re-appearing of past cold sores. It seems to be going around.
Chubbyemu is a bit of a genius - clever storytelling of serious problems done properly and scientifically. That’s rare on YT.
Ugh no bueno! I hope it passes soon, I just want to sleep but I have things to do lol. Interestingly, no phlegm or silly putty, my sinuses are barely affected. But all my glands hurt, and my muscles were super sore and achey.
Whinge whine rant wehhh
Love Chubbyemu, if you like him you’ll prolly like Phy the Neutrophil tbh

That doesn’t sound good either way. Stay on the water and hit up those pseudo cold and flu tablets if you can get them

Get well soon :)

Thank you 🙏 I don’t want to end up on Chubbyemu
I’ll put in my diagnosis of the flu. Drink plenty of water. Rest. Get well soon. 🌻
Lots of water and rest for you, please!!
mono perhaps
hugs, feel better soon
Gosh idk if I’ve ever had mono before, I’ve heard of it but never really understood what it is. I hope it’s not that 😭
I need to check those YouTubers out, sounds interesting! Feel better soon ☺️
Bongkrekik acid is gnarly
