So it may have not been a cold but rather a bad GERD episode? Which I addressed in the worst possible way btw (cough syrup) so I'm paying the price for it but starting to feel a lot better now. Ginger peach tea to the rescueeee

No joke, I struggle with keeping up with cleaning my room a lot. There's one day I will do it, but the dust/dander/hair *always* comes back in less than a week and it becomes an afterthought for weeks, or months. Our air handler is not doing enough to filter most of it out.

If it weren't for my medication I would be crashing tf out sooner. But honestly, idk if it will change my situation much either.
