Who gets sick five times in one winter? (And it's only January.) It might have something to do with not actually sleeping. And cold, dark, damp gray days in Seattle. And a little physical manifestation of emotional turbulence.
In the meantime, I have discovered a new way to cope during the thick of it (ew, sorry). I had been operating under the assumption that cold and flu symptoms are your body's way of working out the virus, and the best way to combat these illnesses is to rest and to bombard your system with natural immune boosting things like Vitamin C, zinc, ginger, lots o' water, etc. I thought artificially suppressing your symptoms just prolonged the whole thing. But I have come to the end of my rope and am wearing out the sick days.
I will now share with you my delightful new discovery, which you probably knew about all along (in the form of inverse haiku, if there is such a thing).
Ode to Cold Medicine
I did not know about you.
You pack quite a buzz.
How on earth are you legal?
(If it gets me through my day; I'm not asking too many questions.)

Whiskey seems to work for me; both in the preventative and palliative mode.
