Bollocksing shitbox on a fuck sandwich, bugger, twat, dickhole, sphincter, wanker and arse!
I'm getting (part of) a cold.
Old man had one just a few days ago, now I'm fairly sure I've got it, the ol' git and his plaguemongering gitness!
I've got the stuffed up nose and the cough, congested respiratory tract etc.
Thankfully no fever, no shivering and shakes and weakness, though, or muscle aches. I'm guessing because of the effects of opioids on cytokine release, since pro-inflammatory cytokines are, AFAIK, the cause, rather than the cold viruses themselves, that cause that subset of symptoms, its the body's response to the viral infection that causes those, although I've still got the respiratory symptoms.
Although I can't say as I'm complaining that I've got no headache, myalgia, fatigue, fever, shakiness, alternating between boiling and freezing and all that nasty proinflammatory cytokine-induced unpleasantness. And also, thankfully, because I'm on clonidine and tizanidine, two chemically and pharmacologically similar drugs on my med list, that act as inhibitors of (nor)adrenaline release and as a side effect at the high doses of tizanidine especially that I'm on as a muscle relaxer for the nerve damage in my left leg, I get quite bad nasal congestion sometimes, so I get a permanent refill script of xylometazoline nasal spray, and the side effects of each other cancel each other out (I.e no congestion, no rhinitis medicamentosa if I don't use the spray), so I've at least got the decongestant, so I don't need to use any PSE. Just a nasty cough.
