Yep.

It starts on my left arm.  Intense itching where I had the BCG Inj at age 13.
Then my throat begins to feel dry followed by nausea = anxiety
Until the cold breaks I feel generally rotten.  Anxiety worse if we are due anywhere  >:(

The body is using energy to fight The Germ so may that's why it's 'feed a cold, starve a fever'? 

How's your diet?  Graze.  Lots of treats, i.e. rice pudding - easy to eat.  Keep fluids up and take pain relief as necessary.

Thanks CLKD,
A cold just sets everything off, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, (probably due to the foggy head and not thinking straight), low mood and upset tum. Went out for a bit today as I was getting cabin fever as I've been stuck in for 3 day days!
Hopefully it'll start to go soon xXx

The Germ is fighting against your immune system.  Feet up, plenty of fluids and gentle exercise as the body feels better.
