PSA: Support For Cold Sufferers, Please!

Does it seem like everyone you know is sick right now? It feels that way to me, too. Everyone I know, besides my husband, whose DNA should be studied for his ability to avoid all illnesses, has had a cold or medical issue recently.

Personally, I've been nursing a sore throat and/or cough for four weeks. Four Weeks! Coughing at night while trying to sleep is a cruel joke on the tired.
