Phlegm Phlegm Phlegm.... coughity cough!

Okay who else is sick right now?

This is day 10 of one of the nastiest colds I've ever had. Exploding head, darn near pneumonia like chest congestion (I'm used to pneumonia, this isn't is, but durn close and super bad upper respiratory), no or super low grade fever, cotton for brains. Gack. Just loveliness. I need to buy stock in Kleenex.

((For me'self, this whole thing is just annoying. Had my son in the ER twice this week for breathing treatments and oral steroids, though. Wheeeee asthma and a chest cold :P))

What can I do next?

Eeewwww.
This thing was going around before my kids' ended school.
In kids and adults alike.

Scary for me... because I have Asthma.

As they say, a typical cold lasts 7-10 days.
But if you are not getting better, go to the Doctor.

I had that. It was lingering so then I went to the Doc, and at that point I had Bronchitis. Then I needed antibiotics. Then it all went away!
I had the Z-pack.

Take care....

Not sick here.

Just wanted to say 'Hi' R.!

Was hoping to get an up-date on how things are going with you? Been thinking about you and your looser EX husband and all the grief he is giving you since your last post about being sick and how clean our houses are when we are ill!

Sending you lots of love, girl!

It's been almost a month and my daughter and I are still congested and she is still coughing the most horrible cough. We went to Disney World in mid-May and she got sick there (figures!), we had to come home early and since then it has been passed around from my daughter, to my son, and then to me. It's terrible! The doctor thought that maybe my kids had whooping cough since it's going around, but luckily they tested negative. You're not alone!!!! Get better soon!!

Glad it's just not us. My daughter started it all last week then the rest of us all got it one by one. I finally feel like my head is starting to clear but still majorly stuffed up and couldn't get my coughing under control last night. We have no idea where it came from. I'm going to blame the shopping carts at the grocery store since none of my kids are in school yet and no playdates last week.

I am sporting a horrible, horrible cough. And a little runny nose. I have had this going on 7 days and don't think I sound much better yet not worse.

My youngest daughter had it for about two weeks and yet is still kinda getting over it.

I just heard my oldest cough yesterday...hoping she isn't coming down with it.

Oh and hey Jennifer we went to Disney in May and my daughter came down with it shortly after returning. Hmmmm...
YUCK!

Yeah major throat infection,4 days in hospital last week on antibiotic drip ,still not better.
Also weird stomach pains.
I'm usually v healthy so not sure whats going on.
I think life stress contributes to physical illness so I have made a promise to watch my stress levels and try to think on a positive level.
Hope your better soon
