I was a bit achy for a few days but that passed. I don't think it is the flu but indeed a cold. My colds always seem to last about three weeks (three weeks of hell!) and then go away. I did have pneumonia when I was younger and was actually hospitalized. My breathing feels more like asthma, but I haven't had problems with this since I was a child.

I can feel the shortness of breath more in my throat than my chest, if any of you have had this feeling? It's kind of like someone has a slight grip around your throat. Yep, that's what it feels like. It's like I have a burp that cannot come out or something. It's really weird. maybe it is a buildup of mucous? Well wish me luck.
