2. I just got over it. It was the sickest I have been in 10 years.
It came on fast, right to my throat and chest, and a fever of 100 for 3 days. I must of taken 30 hot baths. Lots of Gatorade, felt like I'd run a marathon.

I guess it was the Flu, I hope you don't get it as bad, drink lots of water, gatorade. After a week I still have a raspy voice.

Take it easy,and sleep. The sleeping part will be easy though.

9. If it has just been a week, it was probably a bad cold.
Glad you're better.

4. Me, going on forever here.

5. I'm okay but my dad has pneumonia
I got his regular appointment with his doc moved up to this morning because he was feeling dizzy. Dad is 84 and I was concerned. Over the weekend, he developed what I thought was a cold. Nope. Doc's sure it's pneumonia and has him on antibiotics. Funny how things work. Doc thinks it's been brewing.

22. I took half a dose last night
and still feel it tonight. I was dopey all day long, too. It just doesn't wear off very easily for me.

But I need it again. I'm feeling so lousy... stuffy, sneezy, etc.

8. My boys both...
...have had the sinus cold and low grade fever for several days. I just caught it. No fever but I am stuffed up pretty good.

We all got flu shots, so hopefully that will help my immune system in general

Later,
JM

10. Right here...
...a week past a bad cold, and with one of my usual sinus infections that's too minor to require antibiotics, but just enough to make me feel like crap...

12. Just got over it
and I had some variation of symptoms for 3 weeks.

First an ear infection, then a major sore throat and a tickle in my throat, then laryngitis (sp?), then stuffy head and cough, then sinus infection that plugged up my ears and made me dizzy and nauseous.

My second (and stronger) course of antibiotics seemed to do the trick.
