Not Again!

Deck the halls with pills and mc's,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be sickly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

Crap. I am sick again. Was feeling weird in my throat last night. Popped a couple of lozenges and went to bed. It usually works. Not this time. Woke up a number of times in the night feeling dry in the throat. This morning I woke up with a full blown sore throat. It's been a long time since I suffered from sore throats. Hate the feeling. I went to see my doc friend and ended up with a course of antibiotics and 2 days mc. Hmmm, for the first time in my life I think I might exhaust my mc quota for the year. That means I am getting more frequently sick. OMG! That's not good. With all my regular exercise and all my supps, I seem not to be any better off!

Went to see my chinese physician in the afternoon. According to him, the whatever(can't remember the term he used) went up to my throat and that caused the soreness. He convinced me totally when he stuck four needles in different areas of my body (three in my tummy, one in the knee).

To my surprise, the sore throat was like 80% gone! Yipeee! The only problem was that when he removed the needles 15 mins later, the sore throat was pretty much back like prior. Anyway, he gave me some medication. We'll see how it goes......
