Who else have gotten sick in the past few days?

[terrehautian]

Monday was a minor cough. Tuesday made it halfway through work, between the coughing, sore throat, cold chills, then sweating, crappy sleep, I took Wednesday off. Thought I was okay to work today, feel better but still think I should have used a sick day.

 

[tgallmey]

yup Im just getting over it

 

[jd4320t]

It's definitely going around. I hope I don't get it.

 

[Mr.JAG]

I honestly cannot remember the last time I've gotten sick. Has to be over a decade ago.

This is a funny winter we've had here in IN.
When you get the extreme temp changes like we've the past few weeks it's not hard to get a bug.

Between my wife, my daughter, and I... I think there have been 462 colds in our house in the last year.

Mine started yesterday morning, got up felt like crap, stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, and nausea

 

[Ogre]

I think I have had some combination of cold, sinus infection, and bronchitus, non-stop since Thanksgiving... I attribute it to my son going to Daycare this year, and the fact we haven't had a good hard cold streak to kill off alot of the "bugs".

The flu this year is wicked, even if you got your flu shot.. watch out!

 

[NapalmFTW]

It started off as a sore scratchy throat, cough, runny nose, then it turned into a full blown chest infection. Coughing so much I pulled my back muscles. Really productive. Fever, sweating, then the past few days I've gotten over most of the coughing but still have a runny nose and slight cough/chest irritation and I've started feeling nauseous.

It's lasted maybe a week and a half for me.

Had dinner on Tuesday with Li'l Spas at Panda Express. By 8 - 9 pm, stomach hurts. Then by 2am or so, full on stomach flu of some sort. I was down pretty much all of Wednesday. I felt half better on Thursday and better today but my stomach still cramps but I feel better today.

Now, whether I got sick from something I ate or what, I don't know but it was definitely a stomach bug.

 

[NapalmFTW]

The "stomach flu" thing has been going around too.

:/

Personally, I blame the terrorists.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I attribute it to my son going to Daycare this year

My daughter's in an in-home daycare with 3-5 other tykes. Plus the sitter's family. Plus my wife's a middle school teacher.

The way I see it, our kids (just 1 daughter now) will have a nearly indestructible immune system. Just sucks getting to that point!

[seamusalaska]

Yup. Had it twice this winter. Chills then fever, constant nose running....just swell. A buddy of mine had it too. He thinks it's because the winter has been relatively warm. It's a theory.

 

[terrehautian]

Last night was probably the best night of sleep I have gotten in the past few days. Had three blankets and two sheets on everything but my head. Had a fan on low blowing on my head.

Luckily I don't usually get sick. Usually at the first sign of congestion I take extra bioflavonoids (natural sinus pills) for the sinuses. If those don't quite get it I take OTC cold & flu sinus tabs to prevent the sinuses from draining into the lungs. Then I usually mix a packet of Emergen-C with 1,000mg of Vit C into warm water or juice once or twice a day until I feel better. For me it's all about preventing the bug from going any further.

This winter has been ridiculous. I've been sick about the last 4 weeks. Not seriously so, I was over the worst of it after a week. But the cough, the sinus drainage, the stuffy nose, keeps coming and going. I took a course of antibiotics to deal with the sinus infection, but this tickle in the back of my throat, and just feeling like 10 miles of bad road in the morning is getting OLD.

 

[sepe]

Been sick since the 1st mostly because college aged kids seem to still need mommy to wipe their butts, give them their medicine, remind them to not sneeze on everything around them because they're too stupid to cover their noses, and far too many don't seem to wash their hands often enough.

last week my body got extremely sore (fatigued). I don't get any sick days though, so I had to just grin and bear it.
