Struck down by the Common Cold

I've spent the best part of the last couple days in bed with a cold. The cold itself wasn't that bad -- a bit of a sniffle, a bit stuffy, some post-nasal drip, the odd sneeze and cough. But getting the littlest bit sick is enough to cause a flare up of my CFS symptoms. So I was aching in joints I didn't know I had and struggling to find enough energy to get out of bed. Feeling a little better today. Still seem to have a sniffle and a cough but I'm not hurting so much and so far I've managed to resist the urge to go back to bed. Just hope it's all an upwards curve from here.
