Mucus Maximus

Yes, that is me above. I have been dealing with a chest congestion like never seen before. I am going on day 18 and it does not want to let go of me. Sometimes at night it wakes me up, sometimes I lose my voice. It makes me feel tired, I ache from coughing. I have consulted several people that have had it and it just goes away after 4-5 weeks. So, I don't want to go through with doing anti-biotics and will just wait it out. I have been slowly commuting to work and back and drinking lots of water, tea and that is about it. I hope to get back on the bike soon and do some last minute catching up. Last year I did not get sick like this. I think a lot of it had to do with working a lot and the constant fluctuation of the temperatures. 
I will leave you for now and go cough for a while. 
BTW all those anti mucus things don't really work for me. Hot tea, lots of water and honey seem to work best, 
Best, 
Ari
