I seem to have a really weird cold. I’m getting all the symptoms sequentially, rather than all at once – Saturday I had a sore throat, Sunday I was sneezing, today I’m coughing. I wonder what’s in store for me tomorrow?
This might be related to the thing where I’m not eating or drinking or sleeping enough.
Is that…not…normal for colds? I thought that was normal.
(Well, roughly normal. Exactly normal would be 1 – 2 days of sore throat, 2 – 3 days of stuffy/runny nose, 3 – 7 days of coughing, with the end of each phase having a ~4 – 6 hour overlap with the start of the next one.)
(I shudder to think how much colds would suck if I had a week’s worth of symptoms simultaneously.)
(although less-sucky colds might be balanced out by how ““48-hour”“ stomach bugs last a minimum of ten days for me)
(…just how much person-to-person variation is there in how minor illnesses manifest?)
