Well, I thought I could avoid it ladies...but obviously it has gotten me by the THROAT!!

Yesterday afternoon, everytime I would swallow, I noticed my throat was sore. I didn't think anything of it because it had done that about 2 days prior and nothing came of it. Then it went away.

Well last night, it didn't let up. I had to wake up to give Oni her meds and my throat was KILLING me. Not scratchy, just very SORE!

So this morning I woke up and had the urge to cough. When I did, it was juicy and I could taste that unmistakabe taste...

I'm not congested in my head at all, it's just my throat (and I'm assuming my chest).

GRRR!!!! If it gets worse, I'm going to call my Dr. to see what I can take, if anything!

I hate this...

So sorry you are feeling yucky. I have just finally gotten over a sinus infection. It started out with my throat being very sore from all the drainage, then it just got worse from there. I missed 2 days of work because of it.

That's one thing I'm sooo thankful for! I've never suffered from any sort of sinus problem.
I've heard Sinus is the WORST!

I'm hoping this is just a cough, and it goes away soon!!

When I was preggers for Oni I had a cough damn near the entire time! It just WOULD NOT go away! I hope this isn't like that!!

isnt being sickwhile pregnant the worst! ugh i havent been able to breath thru my nose for 3 days and my throat has that wanna cough itch to it.

On Oprah yesterday they were talking about a Netty Pot. It cleans your sinus cavities out and several ppl were saying they were noticable less prone to sinus issues and allergies. I want one but i dont have the slightest clue where to find one

In the early stages of my pregnancy, I could NOT breathe when I tried to go to sleep!!

I would wake up about 20 times in the night snorting like a pig trying to get a passage way through my nose!! Talk about piss Baron off!! HAHAHAHA!!

I'm not really coughing like I did when I 1st woke up, but my throat is still sore. I'm about to gargle some salt water for relief!!
