Members RSBro Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 ... this is the last damn thing I need right now. Everyone else I know has gotten sick this year and I almost made it by this time too.Last year it was the same thing, just had it earlier during New Years and took some time off. Tax season "starts" next week and at least I'm taking a few days off beforehand, but dammit I wanted to relax, not run a damn fever and drink nothing but Sprite...

Members greenshag Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I had it pretty much half of the month of September, and during my entire b-day weekend where I took a couple of days off to go to Wendover, but all I ended up doing was sleeping on my couch, coughing my lungs out, headaches from my head congestion, and running a fever...great times.

Members Goofball Jones Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I haven't had a cold in 5 years and it coincided with me starting to get flu shots. Now, I KNOW the two have nothing to do with each other and just getting a flu shot doesn't mean you won't get a cold. But for some reason I haven't had one. Of course, I just jinxed myself and I'll probably get a cold tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 Cold from hell in October. Hung around for a couple weeks, included sinus infection. Cleared, but the mucus factory never shut down. Started wheezing in December, and have been under a doctor's care. Now an ENT specialist's care. Lungs check out great. Sinuses are very inflamed and has a small infection. On meds. It gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted January 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 My mom had severe bronchitis and the corresponding infection(s) for the last month and a half. I'm psyched. We never (in my fam) use all of the antibiotics prescribed by the time we're well. She used them all and then some. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pickdust Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I feel it knocking on my door. Half of the tossers at work have it and can't seem to stop from coughing all over me. I'm self-proscribing beer, Lou's pizza and 3-4 episodes of Entourage. I bet I'll feel fine in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members der oxenrig Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have it as well. Of course, it doesn't help that my work is right across the street from a quarry, and our air system makes the inside of the store like the inside of a vacuum cleaner bag.

Members Sugarskull Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sick! Who Else Has That Head/Chest/Sinus Headache Cold Junk...... this is the last damn thing I need right now.Everyone else I know has gotten sick this year and I almost made it by this time too.Last year it was the same thing, just had it earlier during New Years and took some time off.Tax season "starts" next week and at least I'm taking a few days off beforehand, but dammit I wanted to relax, not run a damn fever and drink nothing but Sprite... I can't say as I have ever suffered from cold junk before, but I bet it's awful.:poke: As to illness, I'm always fighting off something. If it weren't for Echinacia, or cold FX, I'd be sick constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave Campbell Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 It was New Year's Eve for me - hit full on, and I was playing a gig. I went through a whole box of kleenex. Couldn't even stand, had to lean on my amp most of the night. But hey, we played great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose, and a headache all day long. My nightly dose of Jagermeister this week is the only thing keeping me going. It really is the best cough syrup in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted January 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Day 2: These are the days, right after it starts up, that I wish I could just pass out and avoid. The fever, headaches, congested/muffled ears, dry/swollen throat, all good things. Glad I have practice tonight, AND a show tomorrow. Wonderful.

Members bassplayer7770 Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've had the flu since last Friday, but I think I'm finally about to kick it... I'm glad I didn't have a show last weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted January 29, 2009 CMS Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Had it from the 5th through the 12th bigtime, and am still feeling some of the dregs. Miserable....couldn't sleep, coughed like I had emphezema for 2 days straight (NOTHING relieved it), sinus draining, hacking up lugies......NIIIICE. And I had a flu shot. So either it ain't the flu or they missed this one when they made the vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with the full assault team: Cold Eze cough drops, Airborne, Zicam nasal swabs and Theraflu nighttime cold stuff. Hopefully, all this stuff will reduce the duration of this............crud!

Members Crescent Seven Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 I seem to get this low-level cold this time of year that never blows up into being full-blown sick, but just sort of lingers and makes me feel like crap for weeks at a time. I think it's because I'm an insomniac. If I slept more I'd probably feel better.C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
