Too much drainage from the allergies and a persistant cough.
Dallas- Hope you are feeling better today. Try to do something special for yourself. Even a relaxing bath might help you feel better.
All of you who are hurting today- Hope you feel better soon. And hope everyone has a great day.

Worked out again last night...30 minutes on the ellip...and 15 minutes on a recumbant bike! It was a GREAT workout. I'm feeling a little "hyped" on my new meds...symbacort and the synthroid they started me on for suppression of this silly goiter...*insert eye roll*.
Going to Columbus this weekend to see my sister and her family...yay!! My daughter, Rhyan is VERY excited! We try to go no less than every couple of months. With gas prices the way they are nowadays though...jeez!
Well, I hope everyone has a pain free...or a pain decreased day. For those of you struggling...my thoughts are with you! And, I added a little extra "ooomph" to this post to send out to you all:)
