I was an unwilling host of a pretty awful bug two weeks ago. I imagine it looked like this:

Been sick for 8 days now. I'm pretty good during the day when work adrenaline is kicked in. But at night, ugh. Can't seem to shake it and I'm tired of throwing up. First time I've been sick since moving to Phoenix. Used to get the flu on the reg when I was doing time in KC. Lot's of temp variations and rain here this winter.

Work adrenaline = cocaine

Right?

Mom and dad had it the beg of Dec. They are in their 60's and i had to take care of them. Dad had it so bad i had to call 911. He had horrible bronchitis. He went to the ER 2 times. After the 2nd time though, he cleared up in like a few days and was fine. THen after theirs went away, i got it. I was laid out about 2 weeks. the body aches were real! Cough was really really bad. Then about 2 weeks after i got it again for about 3 days. This might have just been a head cold though. I twas just super stuffy nose, sore throat alot of mucus. Still have a tiny cough. DR said it can last up to 3 months. I have had it almost 2 months. Almost gone though.

This was the first time i been sick in a few years which is shocking since my niece and nephew always want me to watch tv with me when they are sick

My one year old, who was sick, sneezed into my mouth about two weeks ago now. I got sick two days later and it hasn't ended yet. I usually spray nasal spray up my nose to sleep at night. I try not to do it because it's not good stuff.

Coughing, runny/stuffed nose, fever.

Hell my wife took a sick day due to being sick. She's never called in before.

Had acute bronchitis since Monday. Coughing up terrible looking junk.

i used to come down with bronchitis every three months until i stopped smoking. now i can't tell if i am getting a cold or if it's allergies. three years later, a couple flu's, shit ton of allergies, but no return of bronchitis. out of force of habit, if i wake up to this day, i assume im sick. i will call in to work, and three hours im fine. :D

last year at this time my dad got deathly sick. I was sick and out of work for awhile which never happens. I think our immune system got stronger to withstand the shit this year.

sick all last week,,, Worked Monday and Tuesday and now sick again ... head stopped up triggering migraines, sneezing 6 or 7 times in a row and feeling like I am going to cough up a lung

I got the flu and strep from someone at a superbowl party and although i'm doing much better i'm still not 100 percent. Still coughing up crap. Had a fever of 104 during the worst of it. Body aches all over. It was the worst

Another drs appointment for me today

mine started about 3 weeks ago with a tickle in my chest, then that night/early morning, have a 101 degree fever, coughing like a MF. so much coughing that I thought maybe i had cracked a rib or something. Subsequent coughs left me in so much pain in my rib area, it would double me over. it sucked.

Going on three weeks to the day, and I'm still coughing pretty regularly, but the rib pain is gone.. more of a residual cough now. This whole thing has sucked.

I blame it all on this ****ing dickbag at work who came to work coughin, sounded and looked horrible. said he had a fever. Everyone was like "Dude....go the **** home", and he replies with something like "I haven't missed a day of work in X # of years". Like he's going to get a ****ing medal for showing up. Our office is super small, so any sickness pretty much wipes out the entire office. And it has. I think everyone in the office has missed at least 2 days of work in the last 3 weeks.

asshole. stay at home.

Why'd you watch the Faider playoffs game again bud?

Mine started Friday Feb 10
Went back to Dr. The 13th he put me out of work all week and said I had an uppoer respitory infection Prescribed 7 days of antibotics.

Went to work Monday worked 13 hours Fine
Went to work Tues and about halfway thru the day throat was sore.
Tuesday Night cough and stopped up sinuses bad yet my nose was still draining, Could not sleep, crap in chest and sinuses draining in my throat forcing me to breath through my mouth and waking me up every 15 mins.
Wed sneezing 6 or 7 times in a row, coughing hard enough to cough up lung sinus congestion sluggish feeling.
Thursday sore throat almost gone, sinuses better but still coughing hard and feel bad over all

Going on 6 weeks now. I went to doctor at week 4 and they gave me a Zpack. It helped a little. I have not gotten fully over this at week 6. I have good days between bad days right now

Symptoms:

Headache
Sore Throat (severe, worst I ever had)
Congestion
Eyes Constantly Tear
Sneezing ( I have produced enough snot to replace all the oil we have extracted from the earth)
Coughing (ribcage gets sore from coughing)
Wheezing from Lungs
Diarrhea


I never had a fever with this which is weird I think.
