    I've been sick since last week of December & nothing is getting better...kinda freaking out..help!

    Ok, yeah...I'm an utter moron & with my horrid luck lately, a Darwin Award recipient is probably in my near future.

    Anyway, I don't get sick. Like ever. However, the last week of December, I got my *** handed to me by some microbe. Came on like gangbusters & HASN'T LET UP.

    Horrible coughing (the worst is when I'm trying to sleep), severe sore throat, absolutely ZERO voice (it kinda ranges from some super deep freaky frog to a squeek).
    Constantly cold, ears hurt...and always sleepy but HELLO insomnia.

    It's been about 6 weeks now. The coughing did abate for a few...but came back.


    My biggest concern is that my voice is still so JACKED. I've never been sick this long in my life...

    I just don't know exactly WHEN it's appropriate to go to the Dr! Like am I blowing just a long cold outta proportion?

    Any advice would save me from going batsh*t banana sandwich crazy.

    Tnx
    Heather
