That's what one local doc is calling it. And 'everybody' seems to be coming down with it. Two friends just yesterday. A retired doctor friends says it's in every state except Florida.
It's mainly upper respiratory, head and chest. No nausea. Just cough and hack, cough and hack, swimming in phlegm. Can't sleep at night due to the coughing, so zero energy during the day. Miz t. had to move to the guest room because my hacking was keeping her awake too. :-( My first symptoms came the first week in January. Better now but I still have the cough. Not responsive to antibiotics. All you can do is treat the symptoms. I go through Hall's Mentholyptus like popcorn.
Anybody else?

1. Try some whisky or Southern Comfort at night to help you sleep. |
|
It really does help loosen up the phlegm. Also, Mucinex is great.

2. I havent heard it called that, but I definitely have it !! |

feel like crap, the cough medicine is keeping me awake at night, I guess I am sensitive to something in it.
I cant stop coughing long enough to sleep anyway.

4. Me. I have been a veritable snot factory. It is disgusting. I'm at the end stages (I hope). |

My nose still runs (post nasal drip down my throat) but at least the massive quantities of mucous are gone. I am worn out and exhausted. I've been sick for weeks.
Edit: I hope that you feel better soon.

8. Nope, it's in Florida. |

That sounds exactly like what I'm at the (hopefully) tail end of right now.
