    I have an RI...
    I know we often talk about snakes having respiratory infections.. well, I myself have one.. It's horrible; this cough is really harming me at work, as I talk on the phone all day.. I am planning no a Dr's visit friday.. anyone else sick? Seems like people across the country are sick also recently when I'm talking to them.. time to go drown in nyquil!
    (aside note: overdosing on nyquil is not recommended.)

    Well obviously your temperatures are off and no one's been misting you regularly... Geez. You've probably been shedding in pieces all this time and no one told you it was a bad thing.

    *giggle* Get well soon, Gin! :)

    Are they offering you at least two nice fitting cubicles at work? Make sure that you ask to be handled less often too. :P Seriously, get well soon and do watch it with the Nyquil. Nasty potent stuff!

    Hope you feel better soon! Knock on wood, I haven't caught a cold ever since Airborne hit the market.

    I swear by that stuff. Everyone in the office used to laugh at me when I'd run go get a glass of water and drop and Airborne in and drink it. They're not laughing now, since I'm the only one who doesn't catch the office colds and I'm seeing more and more Airborne tubes on people's desks! :D

    When the first coughs start in the office, or as soon as I get a tickle in my throat, I break it out. Don't know how it works, but it does!

    Not "sick" per se but stupid allergies are killing me. I went home at noon yesterday and passed out on the couch. My allergy script isn't doing jack for me. Got something new (allegra) and so far at work this morning the headache isn't near as bad but the other crappy head issues are still present. Not fun! hope you feel better!

    Maybe talk to your dr. about a product called Rhinocort.... it is an allergy med, thats a nasal inhalant (yucky- got to squirt stuff up your nose), it works well with allegra....

    Re: I have an RI...
    thanks for the tip, I couldn't get in to see my doc yesterday and was off today and tomorrow (lucky him). He did send a new script to the pharmacy for me though, I think its the generic version of allegra. My insane headache and pressure went down immensly but my sinus congestion is still as bad and my nose...well yuck anyway. A cold is going around one of the schools I support so I usually pick up some of that combined with my allergies. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday although I have alot to do.

    If your have really bad sinus headaches, try heat packs on the head. I can't take a lot of medicines, so I've got to try alternatives. Also, try those VICKS vapor plugins while you sleep. Hope you are feeling better soon.

    Yes definitely fix the temperatures and make sure the humidity is at the proper level heehee. You guys crack me up. :D Seriously, I hope everybody gets to feeling better. I've been doing ok, except I've been having a nonstop headache for quite a while now....I guess it's allergies.

    It may work out better for you if you switch allergy medications as well....

    I'm telling you! Airborne is the Bomb! It was created by a teacher who kept getting sick from her students. Get some - you'll thank me later! :D

    Re: I have an RI...
    That's a tuff one Gin, but sounds quite droning. Although I've been in a few instances where I've worked in cubicle cities and I'm not sure that's healthy either. Although you have some privacy and germ protection.

    I touch who knows how many keyboards and mice throughout my day along with all the other things I do but I'm generally pretty anal about washing my hands before getting back to my own office. I guess there is a cold going around this building which many people are assuming I have. Probably allergies and a cold...and last night my wife had a bad night :( and she is supposed to be heading down to Ohio Saturday for an alumni weekend at her college.

    If all else fails I'll sit in front my computer at home all weekend or the tv with animal planet on :P

    ...Trying...not...to...make...joke...about "tight hide" :rofl:

    I wouldn't mind crashing on the couch at home and taking a nap the rest of the day...alas its only lunch and another half of a day to go. I can't be sick while my wife is out of town! ...how am I supposed to go wild and party and get into trouble now?! (not really I would/will be most likely feeding and cleaning most of the weekend).

    I'm just getting over a bad RI. I was gon for almost a week and spent 2 days in the hospital with fluid in my lungs... we got that cleared up and a RI poped up right after. so they put me on more antibiotics and sent me home with T3 and and some really nasty but very helpful decongestant.

    Ack I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my computer chair when the coughing fit hit!!! LMLO (that would be "laughing my lung out")

    I actually feel a bit better. Got Mikey off to school this morning, took a big swig of NyQuil, guzzled some Sprite and slept the day away. Got up, got Mikey home from school and put on coffee. Amazingly I'm feeling almost human again!

    Re: I have an RI...
    Good laughs really are healthy! I think now I'm having allergies combined with some cold that went around work...as its not normal for my wife to "catch" my allergies. She has long day tomorrow of driving about 6hrs...after she gets done working in the morning. I hope she loses this bug over night so she can enjoy her weekend out of state.

    I'm about the same but no rest for the weary! I got up and going this morning and washed my car and made it all pretty for my wife's college alumni trip. She definately has it to now but wouldn't stay home. Since she headed out I've had the jams going on the computer and cleaning tubs. Rodents are done finaly now on to snakes! Hopefully I can speed myself up as its a gorgeous day out and may be one of the last ones to get the motorcycle out!
