Relapse. Jeebus!
The sore throat, head cold, cough, fever, body pains gonna die thing... has anybody else got it twice? I had it before Vegas and then the Deity smiled on me and it went away during the trip. Now it's back! The government is clearly doing terrible plague testing on the populace. Gah!

4. I had this at Christmas
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 11:06 AM by new_beawr
It seemed to have finally stopped about February 1......

And yes, it eased up and returned in January (all three)

7. That's a sad tale, but it makes me feel better.
At least we're all getting the same thing.

5. I had some kind of plague last week...
I didn't relapse, but now my lungs are having a pretty bad post-viral asthma freakout.

It sucks.

Hope you feel better soon!

:hug:

11. I think you actually have to
wrap your whole body ... a la the mummy returns. Leave it on for a few days and then take it off. You'll feel so much better.
:rofl:

13. The cough's never gone away...
I've had this bronchitis-ish hack going on 3 months now.

*ugh*

15. Oh, that doesn't sound good. Are you sleeping enough?
Upon my first recovery I couldn't sleep because the throat/coughing thing got worse at night. I think that's why I got it back... lack of sleep.

Maybe you should be checked out. Our local paper says that bronchitis is spreading all over town. Guess it reached you. :hug:

18. An occasional sip of...
of Arrow Ginger Brandy sometimes help relieve symptoms when all else fails.
Works for me, just don't overdo it.
Lotsa sleep helps too, good luck.

21. I hope that's a joke and you aren't really sick,
or if it's a joke it isn't making fun of my dire illness. :P If it's the former, you won't die but maybe you should go to bed early like I'm about to. Real early: 8:30! :pals:

22. Are you having sinus involvement?
If so, I highly recommend the Neti Pot to clear out your sinuses. Use as directed and throw in a couple of drops of Goldenseal. It totally worked for both me and my boyfriend -- will really dry your head right up.

25. I do a variation of the neti pot but have been too sick to work up the energy this time.
Goldenseal, huh? Good idea.
