Sick for the Fourth day now

[j_h_smith]

Ugh Jim sorry to hear. Yes we all had this over Christmas and it stunk!!! Not to freak you out but its like we almost got over it....(still had congestion in our chest) but then yesterday it reared its ugly head again and kicked back in. UGH....I finally got a z pack to knock it out and apparently that is how the virus/cold is working. You get it....it goes away....it comes back...you nail it with antibiotics. UGH!!

We found that nyquil at night and day quil in the daytime seemed to help a bit.

Im with lovelace....I am THE WORST sick person. Such a baby...even carrying water up to my room is a feat and I make the hubby do it....lol. Plus I get demanding....lol....last night at 9 pm I told the hubby I need no pulp orange juice with ice. Clearly he had to go to the store immed. LOL THank god my husband is nice enough to do those things for me.

My, my my...what did you do when he was deployed? No pulp orange juice at 9 oclock at night? Didn't want dill pickles too? Oh wait, you're sick, not pregnant.

Hope you feel better soon. I've got a doctor's appointment this morning, so I should be on my way to a full recovery in no time at all. YEAH RIGHT!!!

This one is kicking my butt.

hey watch it ya'll...i AM preggers...& sick. my son got strep throat earlier this month but missed 4 days of school due to fevers BEFORE we finally found out it was strep...we thought it was the flu since the school nurse told us they had a confirmed case of flu in the school that week.
anyways he got some antibiotics and after finishing them we thought he was good as gold again so i shared a plate of pie with him...BIG NO-NO, as i'm finding out now...and we had to pick up our daughter from school the other day for a major sore throat. tuesday night i had my bf take all of us to the doctor (e.r since the offices were closed by the time he got paid and we could get gas to go anywhere) and they did a rapid strep on all of us...came up negative but the doc decided to put us all on antibiotics just in case.
now...the kiddos are feeling good enough to go to school but i'm gonna be miserable for some time. usually my home remedy for a cold is chicken noodle soup, HOT green tea with honey, bolthouse farms c-boost orange juice and echinacea. those last 2 help me get rid of a cold within a week tops but...since i'm preggers now i cant take echinacea so...yeah. but this is not a cold you speak of so...i guess for the flu i just try to stay hydrated as best as i possibly can but usually i end up in the hospital with severe dehydration despite my best efforts.
good luck...

I know huh!!!! Fortunately for me my mom also lives with us so when I am down she is on top of it. Wouldn't go get me OJ at 9pm though I think I phsyced myself out so much when he was gone that there was no way I could let myself get sick. I was super woman during that time....lol Now Im all spoiled and mushy....

WOW, living with the mother in law too. This guy is a real keeper. I could never do that. Living with one woman is difficult enough. But I guess living with your own mom isn't all that easy either. Hey, as long as it works, that's all that matters.

S&M Michelle, kinda has a ring to it.
