I’ve had cough and colds for the last couple of days, and it’s really bothered me to the point that I can’t sleep at night. I finally asked my OB for some drugs!!! I want instant relief! Unfortunately, she just told me to gargle Orofar-L, drink plenty of fluids and take Vit C. I want drugs!!! Well, OTC medications, not the kind sold by pushers.

I’ve been chugging down liters of warm calamansi juice hoping to feel better, but nothing’s happening so far. I just go to the comfort room more often because my bladder’s always full. My tummy hurts from all that sneezing and coughing, the sore throat makes it difficult for me to swallow even my own saliva. I feel lightheaded but I can’t sleep.

I feel like I’ve overdosed on Vitamins these past couple of days, but I still feel tired all the time. Couldn’t even drive to the pharmacy for my medicine. There’s the iron supplement, Vit C and Clusivol OB; plus the aspirin I have to take as maintenance for my thrombosis. I’m as pale as a ghost, and look probably anemic.

I don’t remember pregnancy being this hard!!!
