I have this thought often when I'm sick. How often I take for granted the healthy body. And then when in healthy I treat this thing like a dirty lawn ornament.

I've lived in a couple of cities in Europe and I can tell you my nose was runny and my throat a bit rough far more often in a poluted place like London (UK) than it is in the small city I live in now in Portugal or the places I lived in when in The Netherlands.

(In fact moving to a small city in Portugal from London hugelly improved of my health when it comes to that kind of thing)

I suspect that the tendency to catch colds and suffer from alergies is often coupled with all the Sulfur Oxide gases around in cities with lots of car polution, since those turn into various sulfur oxiacids when those gases mix with water in the nose and airways.

My chronic rhinitis and I will just stay over here…

I woke up hungover, happy birthday dad.

All i hear now is my nose whistle

Yes it is, I fucking hate autumn and winter.

I think about this every time I start to get sick.

What a stupid fucking post. I'm grateful every day I don't have a runny nose or sore throat as I know how completely miserable I am when I do have either of those.

I'm gonna be sad now, thanks.

😭 I woke up sick today.

As someone who gets a runny nose every time I eat..

Dang

This is a PSA Announcement:

An orgasm instantly clears out the sinuses. Due to lack of studies doctors don't fully know why this happens.

Have bad allergies, those days are not often. Also sucks because people always think I am sick but thankfully a dumb immune system is not contagious.

I wish I could use both hands, remember faces, and walk without a cane.

Of course, there is always someone who says they wish they could have both hands, be able to remember anything, and walk at all.

And there are people who have no limb who wish they could have one, and would long for any mobility at all.

I’m grateful for what I got, but in a true human sense, I want more.

This is why masks.

Headaches too. Every time I get a bad headache I honestly forget what it feels like to not have one.

Idk, given a common cold is caused by viruses, simply limiting the exposure to them generally helps not having a runny nose. Soo, why not be pissed off that you have to be around humans instead

The feeling when you physically notice your cold improving, you can breathe through both nostrils, and you don’t feel fatigued and sore anymore is an amazing feeling.

joint and muscle pain is just as evil in the early hours of a day before the drugs can be thrown at them

Ever since covid I get the influenza and covid vaccinations every season.

Totally unrelated I'm sure, but ever since I've been doing that (and washing my hands first thing when coming home) I haven't been sick at all. No runny or clogged nose, no coughing or itching throat. No fevers, no throwing up, just pure, healthy bliss.

Get vaccinated people.

I guess the joke is on me, I've had a sinus infection or something for like a month so my nose is always either running, or clogged. Sometimes both at the same time!

I'm just now getting over a cold that gave me the worst laryngitis of my life. It felt like I got punched in the throat some days. So I'm super grateful today to have most of my voice back. Swelling and inflammation is reduced. Even my cough which I thought would become bronchitis is fading. So grateful to be feeling well again after a week of this.

A bite on the inside of your cheek

Canker sore on your tongue

Broken baby toe

Broken off splinter in your finger

Sunburn

Also I don't have sand in my eyes atm. I love it when there's no sand in my eyes.

Everytime I get sick I think about this. “I am going to appreciate my life so much more when I’m not sick.” I appreciate not being sick for about five minutes before it just goes back to being whatever.

we don't think about the things that are going fine, only current problems. the marketing/advertising industry exploits this human tendency to the utmost, not only for your actual current problems, but problems (actual or not) you didn't even know you had until they told you that you need to buy their solution for it
