It was not enough to stave off the inevitable.
I woke up on Thursday feeling like I'd been beaten up in the night. I couldn't breathe. Possibly because I couldn't breathe, I became dizzy if I stood up for too long, I couldn't focus, and anything more complex than dozing on the couch while watching endless episodes of The West Wing was pretty much beyond me. I literally called my mother to bring me orange juice and soup. Neither of which had any flavor at all. After sleeping through most of the day, I went to bed praying that the worst was over.
The worst was not, in fact, over, as Friday brought with it several exciting new symptoms, including a deep, bone-rattling cough and stomach issues, neither of which had been invited to the party on Thursday. Oh, yay! I got off the couch a bit more often on Friday, since I had to do some running to the bathroom, but it was still a primarily stationary day.
Why is this relevant to your interests, beyond the vague "aww, poor baby, you've been sick" factor? Because I just went literally four days with essentially no computer contact whatsoever. I didn't do any writing until Sunday evening, when I finished the Sparrow Hill story for August. I didn't answer any email at all. I didn't even put on outside clothes until Saturday. So if you're waiting for something from me, or you think that I'm ignoring you, I promise, it's just my mind-boggling nasty summer cold.
I still sound like I have tuberculosis, or at least a cousin of same, but I can walk now, and that's a massive improvement. Things are returning, glacially, to normal.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled babbling.

I remember years ago, when I lived in Monte Vista, there was this little American Greek restaurant down Stevens Creek Blvd. in a strip mall that had Lemon Rice Soup which I would beg my folks to get for me when I was sick. I think I liked it because it was something I could taste when the rotting crud infested my taste buds and wasn't spicy enough to set off other problems. Wish I could send you some now.
♥Warm hugs♥ and kitty cuddles while you recover.

On a happier note, my offer of purple-death codeine-enhanced cough syrup still stands!

I'm glad you're feeling better, and I hope the remaining symptoms get lost quickly! :)
