From 30 degrees to below 10, the constant change in weather is sure to affect you. To put it simply, getting sick sucks. There's no other way to explain it. (As I write this article I have a killer cough and an ear infection so, I sure know the feeling.)

1. The Early Signs

You start to get a little pain in your throat, but completely ignore it when you really should have taken some precautionary steps. Oh well, right?

2. A Little Pain to Full Blown Pain

What once used to be a little sore throat turns into a bad cough and body aches.

3. Bed Rest

You put yourself on bed rest in hopes that a day of doing absolutely nothing will help you feel better. However, this "bed rest" just helped you to catch up on TV.

4. Medicine, please

While on bed rest, you take some medicine and are confident that it will work.

5. Medicine with a Side of Soup

After taking your first dose of medicine, you think to pair it with a bowl of soup. Because what's better than eating some chicken noodle soup when you're sick?

6. Sickness Persists

One always thinks they can get rid of their cold overnight just like the commercials, but it never happens that way, does it? You wake up the next day feeling worse than you did the night before.

7. Desperation

At a certain point in being sick you become so desperate to feel better that you'll take any or all medicine. You'll even try those home remedies.

8. The End of Your Cold

Even when you start to feel better, it isn't that big of a deal because being sick was such a norm for such a long time.
