Stuffy, Runny, Sneezy

At the beginning of Thanksgiving week, E caught a cold. I'm pretty sure he picked it up in Las Vegas, where he went with one of his besties to see KISS in concert at the Hard Rock. He and his bestie C were there for maybe 36 hours, just long enough to squeeze in some good food, a couple sports bets, the concert, and apparently some icky germs.

E was really sick for maybe one day, took some meds and then almost immediately started getting better. Me on the other hand, with all the crap I've been putting my body through, have clearly committed to the long haul. I thought I was going to skip this round of illness but then E accidentally used my electric tooth brush head instead of his own and I was doomed.

This nasty beast came on fast, I felt normal, successfully cooked Thanksgiving dinner and then bam, I woke up sick the morning of Black Friday. Scratchy, sore throat, the nose that is both stuffy and runny at the same time, pressure in my head, the works.

Here is where I get stuck. Normally I'd start loading up on immune boosting supplements to kick my  system into overdrive and pummel this cold. However, our FET is only weeks away, where we'll be putting back an embryo with it's own DNA that is foreign to my body. The very last thing we want is my immune system awake and ramped up.

I've already stopped the acupuncture herbs because those will nourish whatever you're growing, even a cold virus, and it looks like I'm stuck with Dayquil in the meantime. Man I hope this cold passes quickly, I really need to be healthy for everything coming up!
