Grrr...I'm sick

Against my better judgement I went to the doctor today and it's a virus so there's nothing to do about it. I'm all congested and I can hardly breathe. I had some prednisone at home and debated about taking it, but figured I better not with out some medical advice first. But I did take Mucinex. So, what does the doctor tell me? Take prednisone and Mucinex. Although he did give me a prescription for a rescue inhaler, which I could have really used last night. So all afternoon I've been sweating buckets. It's about 65 degrees in the house and I'm still sitting here soaking wet, it's disgusting. I guess it's a good thing though right? Sweating out all the bad stuff right?
