My head is congested, I ache, I've spent the last two days on the verge of constant exhaustion and my throat feels like sandpaper. Swallowing isn't so much a reflex as it is an experiment in pain thresholds. Long ago, in the Before Time, I think I used to be able to swallow without searing agony. That's a long-distant memory now.
