I’m coming down with it for the last 3 days - much more apparent today. Sigh. From people I have talked with this crap appears to hang on for weeks. My boss has had it for about 6 or so weeks. What have people’s experience been here?
@Kidsandliz Yep, it’s a hanger-onner. Everyone in the house has had it, and now one son thinks he’s getting sick again. I haven’t stopped needing tissues since Thanksgiving. I feel fine, but the runny nose, congestion and cough are still there. We passed it on to my elderly mother, which is my greatest concern.
@pitamuffin I understand your worry. It is so much harder for them to get rid of things like this. I was around my elderly mom at the first stages of coming down to this. I worry she has gotten it from me because she said (today) she has a mild headache in the sinus area… Hopefully she didn’t get it.
Strep and sinusitis. Had to do two courses of antibiotics…just took the last dose yesterday. I won’t believe its not coming back for at least another 5 days (took a week to come back last time).
@givemeyoursoul Same thing happened to me. Chills & fever, strep & sinus, three different antibiotics. Augmentin for 10 days broke it, 6-7 weeks from the start.
Just got my pneumonia diagnosis tonight, after a few weeks of miserable head cold, then chest cold, then “Jesus, why is it so hard to breathe?” tonight.
Not to be a party pooper – but this is the FIRST year in FOREVER I have not had a serious illness from Nov thru March!!! (could be I got my pneumonia and flu vaccine? or am I jinxing myself!!!)
I am very sorry you all have an illness though – it does suck wind…
/giphy suck wind
Ugh!
More cowbell?
Eh, I’m down with it
@Moose
/image I see what you did there
@Moose Yeah honestly I just came here to say something along these lines.
Where’s all the nose blowers?

Already been sick twice…I blame the children! And @Captamehrican!
@RiotDemon Come rub my belly.
@mfladd I’m busy.
@Narfcake @moose any idea why my photo is not showing properly?
@RiotDemon Looks okay to me. (I’m seeing it in Chrome.)
@Barney guess it’s my phone, cuz I’m on chrome as well. Keeps showing the broken image icon, but I can open the image and it loads fine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@RiotDemon nope, gif is good. You aren’t seeing it right because you are being punished for not rubbing my belly.
@mfladd What? It’s not @captamehrican’s fault?
@RiotDemon It’s rendering fine here too.
@mfladd sorry, I, uh, I’m still busy.
@mfladd yeah children are germ factories, generally in full production mode.
@RiotDemon Since you seem to like rubbing tummies…
@lordbowen I can’t see your photo. When I try to open the image in a new page, imgur says I don’t have permission.

Have had sinus and cold stuff for over a week. It is still not gone.
@ThomasF Pretty sure I passed out at my desk for a couple minutes earlier…
@ThomasF Or, as we call it, Tuesday?
@ThomasF @f00l Shit! It’s Monday! doh!
Just started today and I’m not a happy camper.

At least you have targeted treatment now.
