It’s cold and flu season.
Millions of people are dealing with running noses, headaches, chest
congestion, fever, throwing up, diarrhea and a host of other painful
symptoms. Every year I hear, “This year’s
the worst” from people. And to their
credit, if you have some form of this affliction, that point of view is easy to
see as you feel like death. I’m sure you
each have been through some form of this illness and can relate. No I am not here to tell you of a miracle
cure. If I was I would be in the wrong business. No I am here to announce that after all these
months of staying healthy I am slowly succumbing to this mixed illness. Right now it has struck my stomach and is
churning it up to the point that I no longer wish to take food. I have pressure in my head causing a nasty
headache and chills are starting. It
doesn’t make any sense. I received a flu
shot, I take supplements including Vitamin C.
My diet includes fruit. I try to
stay away from sick people. Yet here I
am. My body’s fighting it but it’s
getting worse. I went through the pharmacy
and found no cures. Then I was reminded
of something the comedian Chris Rock once said.
To paraphrase, drug companies don’t make money by curing illnesses. They
make money by treating illnesses. That’s
why their research is concentrated on treatments. The worse I felt and the more sense it
made. Comment on what you think of
that. In the meantime, I’m going to get
in bed.
Until next time.
