Uncommon Cold

For the past week, I've been suffering a symptom-a-day cold.  I'm pretty sure it's not a real thing but each morning I'd wake up, feel achey and weak as if I have a cold, and as the day progressed, I'd feel better except for but one symptom.  One day it was a scratchy throat.  The other a stuffed nose.  Then extreme fatigue.  And a phlegmy cough another.  Today we reach Week Two.  I thought I felt fine this morning, but both my ears are blocked and they will not pop.  If I yawn one more time my jaw may never close.  I'm now afraid for the days to pass because the symptoms are getting weirder.  What's after blocked ears?  (Brother's favorite) Vertigo?  The shakes?  Lord, can't I just lie in bed for a few days like a normal person?
