My head feels like it's going to explode and my nose is a continuous drip of snot.
Feel bad for me.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Hope it goes away fast, I'm near the end of a four week battle with the crap, I'm almost back to normal. I feel bad for you because I know what it could turn into...

I do feel bad for you. Bc if you have anything like has been going around here - it lasts two weeks and makes you wish you were either dead or a heavy drug user.

Me too! Only I'm breastfeeding so I can't take any drugs and I'm also having weird allergies to something that has caused a roller coaster of its own health problems. In the doctors waiting room watching an old lady rip pages out of a waiting room magazine and put them in her purse...

Sorry you are sick. Hubby is home sick today too, and I am trying to get my most important work done for the week in case I catch it.

Sending healing thoughts your way, swamp. Hope you're feeling better soon (or at least the snot fountain abates somewhat).

Gargle with warm salt water a few times a day. For real. Feel better!

My head feels like it's going to explode and my nose is a continuous drip of snot. Feel bad for me. My wife has had this for two and a half weeks and refuses to go to a doctor. I don't feel bad for her. Feel bad for me!

Don't screw around. If you think you have a bacterial infection get your ass to a doctor pronto. There's some bad stuff going around.
(Also, hot toddies, hot chicken soup, and plenty of rest)

DS got me sick like 2 weeks ago. It's finally out of my head but now I'm coughing and clearing my throat pretty much all day (and a lot of the night). Sexy!

We've got the nasties going around here, too. Everyone in my family has had something that involved running nose, coughing, low-grade fever, and general grouchiness within the last three weeks. It's just ugly out there!

WTH is this crap? I've been sick for almost 2 weeks. I'm very familiar with sinus infections and all that, but this has been a monster. I struggled through it the first week, then I just couldn't go any more. I did finally drag myself to the doctor.
I hope everyone feels better soon. Being this sick SUCKS.

DH and I are sick too, but we think we got the flu after our flu mist. A friend I have that works at a hospital said she's had more people than usual lately telling her they got sick after their flu mist. I thought I was getting better yesterday, but it moved from my head to my chest. At least I don't have the awful sore throat or muscle aches.

My kids have a soccer game. I'm sitting in the cold and rain. And Tim Hortons forget the cream for my tea. Bastards.
And DD just got smacked in the face with a ball.

I've been coughing pretty much all day and now I sound like someone who smokes 3 packs a day. Is there a way to remove my throat?

I was sick about 2 weeks at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. It was the most miserable thing ever. My doc determined it was bacterial and ordered me an antibiotic. I finally, like a week ago, started feeling human again. Mine was all in my chest and I coughed and hacked all day and all night. Did I mention that she ordered me cough medicine with codeine? It finally allowed me (and my DH by extension) to sleep. I hope everyone who is sick gets well soon. And I really hope you keep your germs to yourself. I DO NOT want this sh!t again!!

I've been coughing pretty much all day and now I sound like someone who smokes 3 packs a day. Is there a way to remove my throat? I haven't found a great one. I'm trying to drink plenty of water and taking Mucinex because otherwise I'm coughing and choking every 30 seconds on the stuff draining into my throat. Which then I cough up.

I do feel bad for you . . . and everyone else who is sick. It seems to be a lot of you guys. I think teaching for a long time makes you immune to a lot of germs. My kids were complaining (yes, complaining) that I am never out. I actually missed three days about the third week of school because DH had a stent put in that led to a bood clot and emergency surgery. He and I are glad that has been it. They assured me they only wish minor illness on me.

I do, I missed you all. We're going to have to see your note explaining said 6 week absence, Missy. Although, truth be told, you do have a natural tendency toward drive-by posting anyway.m
