Title: Wow, I feel like shit
Post by: Titan on December 18, 2006, 10:53:24 AM
I got sick over the weekend and this has to be the worst cold I\'ve had in a long time. I always feel tired, beaten, congested and I keep coughing stuff out of my lungs and its just getting worse. I\'m taking Cold-Eeze and echinacea so I\'m hoping this is gone by Christmas. Wow, I need a nap. I\'ll do that when I get back from my next final.

im surprised as hell im not sick yet. Almost all semester I had people hacking up a storm behind me, then handing me a roll sheet. My coworkers have worked sick, my manager was uber sick and near me, finals week everyone got sick.

Im starting to get a soar throat in the mornings now, but i think i can get over it..hopefully before getting sick sick. finals are over but i still dont want to get sick

I got a cold coming on right now, it\'s always around this time that I get them.

On the bright side though, in the past if I\'ve had them now, I usually do ok over christmas and new year, so that\'s something to be greatful for, get it all out of the way before the festivities kick off.

I haven\'t gotten sick at all this semester either. I got sick at around this time last year too. Usually when I feel I have a cold coming on, I take echinacea and cold-eeze and that usually gets rid of it before it starts. This year I didn\'t have anything in my apartment and didn\'t think to buy that stuff before it escaladed. Now I\'m paying the price I guess. I\'m not feeling as bad as I did yesterday. Now I just have a runny nose and cough which is better than what I had yesterday (all the worst symptoms of a cold). Amazing what a good night sleep can do :)

i rarely ever get sick,..neither does my wife and she\'s a nurse, i drink orange juice from time to time, but i guess i just have a strong immune system,...but when i do get sick, all i have to use is thera-flu...that stuff knocks out anything.

I\'m smack bang in the middle of it now, I went to bed for an hour or so because I felt like shit.

woke up, couldn\'t move.

It felt like my face was swollen, and I could feel my pulse across my forhead. As well as that, all down my back and arms are aching like fuck topped off with a killer headache.

I\'m not exactly sneezing all the time, but I feel like it is only a matter of time.

I predict a day of the sneezes, then a day of the shakes, then I\'ll be back on the mend, just in time for christmas eve.

I slept so much last night (7-8 hours of sleep) then after I handed my take home final in, I slept for another 3. I think that really helped fight off the cold. I\'m still taking the echinacea and will continue to take atleast 2 capsules per day for about a week to keep my immune system on its A game.

I haven\'t been sick in well over a year.  I used to get sick all the time then I switched majors and I stopped getting sick.  Its amazing what stress can do to you.

I guess Christmas miracles do happen. :laughing:

I was really damn sick Monday, but yesterday I felt relatively fine. Like 80-90% myself. So I was able to go back home. Amazing.

I got a pretty bad cold after shooting a fishing tournament weekend before last in Virginia Beach. it was 27 degrees and I was shooting on the beach with winds over 35 mph.  It was horrible.  I have worked every single day since and got through the cold while working.  After Friday I am done though.  I just have to take some time off.
