Be sincere...!!! Just tell him that you're sick for the time being & you can't see or date with him. And, if he don't believe you, just ask him to come over to see your condition. I believe he would be understand. Don't be afraid to be sincere. Because, it's   the best way to make people like you...!!! :-) Wish you well soon...!!!

I feel so sorry for you!  I hate a cold, feeling so miserable.  \n\nBut, for the popping sound in your nose, I found this on the site below which has a lot more info on viral infections and how to treat your miserable cold symptoms.\n\nOral decongestants can help relieve a stuffy nose, ear congestion, or popping in ears. \n\nHope you are feeling better soon!

Catching strong feelings? You make it sound like a cold! If you don't want to feel all lovey then I suggest not being in a relationship, you're obviously not ready.

I'm not sure you have a cold.  My daughter started out the same way and has been ill for the past 4 weeks.  The doctor told her she has a bacterial infection and put her on antibiotics.  She has been awfully weak, like you, had coughing spells, then she came down with the sniffles and ear infection.  I suggest you see a doctor and have him prescribe the proper medication.  You may need to give a blood sample to determine if it is a cold or an infection.  In either case, I hope you see a professional and get the help you need.  Get well soon!!!!

I'm in Athens and it's cold, about 12 degrees Celcius and I will get lower. I'm not used to the cold and to cloudy days. I feel depressed, my feet are cold and I miss warm sunny days...Winter is terrible and snow is coming...bloody hell!

I dont think it had anything to do with you making out with somone.  Maybe you are coming down with the stomach flu or the guy who you kissed had the flu and you caught it from him...\nIf you were really nervous about making out with him, you could have just made your stomach upset and that caused you to throw up.  Try not to worry about it.. I hope you feel better!

Go to Wal-Mart and buy something called Airborne. It prevents a cold from becoming much worse and should actually be taken at the first sign of a cold.\n\nTrust me, it works!\n\nIn the event that a Wal-Mart is not in your neighborhood, visit Wal-Mart.com and the wonderful people there will have it shipped directly to your door.  Ahh, the wonders of internet commerce.  Get well soon!

I have the same problem - No one has mentioned "environment" (that I saw?) - It's now Spring - What kind of climate do you live in? I'm in CO - and the Humidity today was 8% (Yes, EIGHT percent) - but "cold" so the heater was blasting all night ... so dry air effects me as well as lack of moisture that comes with higher humidity...\n\nOption #2) - Do you take Tylenol PM (or any antihistamines?) - For whatever reasons - these too dry out my eyes (well, B/C they're a type of antihistamine)\n\nOption #3) - People have already mentioned allergies... and alcohol - May wanna check with an allergist about down pillows, or Spring hay fever - or even "mold" if you are in a northern climate, and the windows are sealed - I found my "allergies" were worse in the winter than summer, and never understood this since all plants/trees/weeds and such are "dead" (dormant) - well, turns out Mold in the air ducts was the cause... \n\nIf you go to a Doc, and tell him about using "Clear Eyes" or "Visine" - those too have a "rebound effect" and he'll (she'll) encourage you to go to "natural tears" for the others' can CAUSE red eyes after long term use... But I too still use them, cuz "natural tears" don't remove the red - and don't wanna look hung over at work - When I'm NOT! LOL \n\nCheers and good luck!

It's that time of year!!  Yeah, it sucks, but that's how it goes....  I'm in the midwest, and the pollen counts this year just until now are almost to what they were over the better part of the entire allergy season last year... SO, for those of us with allergies, it's a little rough.  Depending on your body, there are plenty of good allergy meds out there to take.  You can take an OTC antihistamine, or get something like Claritin for antihistamine.  There are some steroid nasal sprays that work well without drying out your sinuses/eyes, too (Nasonex for example), or there are some newer drugs out that block leukotrienes that aren't as widely prescribed as the aforementioned two types.  Take something, get plenty of kleenex, maybe some visine if you have itchy eyes...  Good luck!  :)

Take a nap when you get home today, before you go out. Then take some cold medecine, but not nyquil, because it will just put you to sleep.  Some sudafed or tylenol cold should do fine. Just make sure it's "non drowsy". \n\nDrink plenty of water while you're out and for god's sake don't overdo it with alcohol.  Your body will be hard at work getting rid of the infection and breaking down medications and alcohol will just make things worse. It's never good to mix drugs.\n\nBe prepared to be really sick tomorrow. \n\nPlan B?  Call your friends and put off the celebration until this weekend when you're feeling well again.\n\nGood luck!

Hi there. You need to go out for a long walk in the evening, take a friend with you go blow the cobwebs away.  The more you mope around the house the more lethargic you will be. Confide in a real close friend how you feel.  More pressing is the issue of the headaches. You should really go see the doc. 5 months is a long long time away from your boyfriend. Are you sure you could not get 1 public holiday day together?  They do say that NOTHING ON THIS EARTH stops you from being able to get to a loved one.  Is it that your boyfriend is the one avoiding a meet?  talk with him, if you reall love each other here will be a way you can be together, at least for a statutory holiday day Good luck honey.
