fighting off a minor condition, like a cold

I hope all of you are feeling better.
Now I have 'something'. I wonder if we caught it from each other;-) Over the weekend, it hit me. I called my PCP on Monday morn and spoke with his nurse with my symptoms (mainly to be on his 'radar' if something developed) It was the slight fever that made me call. She had me come in so he could take a look, "due to my history". He did a flu swab (negative) and blood draw (okay) so diagnosed with a viral something. He told me to call if anything changed. I've been home bound, napping, and wrapped in layers to keep warm. Today, except for slight sore throat I feel almost normal. And will keep a low profile for awhile by staying home.

@rosemarya Oh no, Rosemary, I hope I didn't give it to you! 😉 I have not had any fever so I have not bothered to call. I spoke to the pharmacist at the drugstore I most frequently go to and she too said if it is bronchitis, which I believe it is, there is nothing the doctor can do beyond possibly giving me a cough syrup with codeine which might help me to sleep better. My major problem is a cough, my throat is occasionally slightly sore, and I get a headache often which I am sure is from so much coughing.
I hope you feel ALL better soon, and I hope I too get over this soon. It has really curtailed my regular activities.
