Thanks Ricky, I did say above that I took Nat M 30x. It took the headache within 2 minutes (which was ever so mild) and I slept well. Woke feeling much better.

I felt better today, but around 4-5pm I began feeling overly tired and unwell again.

The marked symptoms tonight are:
throat is sore on swallowing - not terrible...but mainly radiates a sticking/stitching pain to both ears. Actually I'm having a hard time describing it...it is sort of like the root of my tongue is sore when I swallow and THIS radiates slight pain to the ears on swallowing.

BTW: you know that awful pain when you bite your tongue? Well that is the type of pain at the base of my tongue ONLY WHEN I swallow, which radiates to the ears.

Also, when I cough - throat feels scratchy/rough/bristly.

Hoarse...losing voice.

Nose is sort of blocked but have odd moments when it runs (clear!) but very little comes out. Cough still - only slight...and it is the drainage that makes me cough - to clear throat mainly! The drainage is irritating to my throat. I felt as if the mucous was sort of hanging on at the back of my throat...still is. Like it doesn't completely
clear my throat when I try to cough or clear it.
Not coughing up mucous like yesterday...like a fine sray of wet - and that is all.
Occasional small amount comes up..not yellow anymore....??

The only time I feel I need to 'hawk' is after I brush my teeth - to get everything out of my throat (this was last night).

BTW: Hawking doesn't seem to help clear the
mucous at the back of the throat!! Ineffectual!

Head fulls heavy and full - typical cold, really - congested? Eyes are slightly tired -
and warm..not hot and not dry though. No burning either.

MUCH flatus!! Annoying really. Passed stool twice today, but never felt finished..same colour as posted in my other thread (orangey). Urge but ineffective really. Slight dull aching pain in colon...full of gas and ...? Not a nice aroma either.

Is Hep Sulph still indicated?
Please let me know...

No other symptoms really. Fairly calm mentally, emotionally..but watched a movie a
while ago - had a very sick baby in it and made me cry a wee bit - tear-up.

Any suggestions? Is this enough to go on? I sure would like to get better soon!!!
Much appreciated!
Lisa

PS Ears muffled/blocked - crackling on swallowing (this is kinda normal for me
though...but worse with this cold). Ears clear and I hear better momentarily when I
blow my nose - and sometimes when I swallow. Definitely crackle upon swallowing.
Also, a friend of mine just arrived from OZ (Aust) and she had strep throat when she
arrived...(she was on antibiotics .
Just checked my tonsils in the mirror - THIS IS ODD> my LEFT tonsil is more swollen than the right! BUT has NORMAL COLOUR..with white spots! Right Tonsil looks normal size and colour but hurts just as much as the left!

Wonder what this indicates now????
