All winter, every couple weeks, I have gotten what I have started thinking of as a "proto-cold". It's a scratchy throat that never quite turns into a sore throat, a slight sniffle, occasional mild vertigo, and the kind of stuffy pre-headache that I often get when I have sinus problems. It never turns into an actual cold, just lingers for a day or two and then disappears.

It is infuriating. Weirdly, I think I would rather actually catch the damn cold because then perhaps this mild malaise would stop happening every few weeks. Also, then I would have actual symptoms to point, rather than a vaguely run-down feeling and general listlessness.

I woke up with a proto-cold again this morning. I very much hate it.
