Once you get the scratchy sore throat - You can't ignore it - because if you do, it won't go away. It progresses until you have a full blown cold. Sometimes, when you first feel that tingle when you swallow - you can keep it from going full course, if you gargle with peroxide, take a bunch of aspirin, and a handful of vitamins; then jump in the bed with a hot toddy, and sweat it out. But you have to nip it in the bud; otherwise - you're in for the entire nasty ordeal of sneezing, coughing, runny nose, stuffy head and big congestion. It's the pits. The full domino affect. Kinda reminds me of bad relationships. If you ignore the first painful tingle of that uncomfortable feeling, and think that the symptoms can be overlooked - you are wrong. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. And the longer you linger with the obvious signs of just being used or having a game played upon you - the more time you give those nasty virus germs to multiply and invade your life, until, there is a point of no return. The bacterial invasion of a cruel lover can make you so sick, that you even lose the ability to help yourself. You become addicted to the occasional crumbs of antibiotic attention that he throws your way. You begin to feel a littler better, and your hope climbs and feels like a cure. But just as your soulful sinuses begin to dry and you can breathe again, he yanks the bottle of passion pills from your grasping hand - only to send you back to the sick bay again. And there you suffer and lick our wounds, begging and crawling for another shot of penicillin. And he may surface again, to soothe your aching feverish body, with his carefully placed compliments of partial cure. But, he is not the sensitive surgeon that you hope will one day cut away your suffering. He's not even on the intern's list of soothing salves. All you can get at best is a little calamine for your irritated condition, or a shot of booze to numb some of your pain. So how do you avoid his addictive offerings, that never really last ? Remember the flu, recall the virus, take heed from the common cold. It only gets worse as time goes on - and the only way to keep it from happening - is by detecting the sympoms in the initial stages - and then take heavy doses of herbs, and healing wine - flush away all the grime, douse the louse from your house and your time....and maybe with avoidance, you'll be just fine. ```` p.s. take two aspirins and call me in the morning. ~Harem~ ``````` |
