Sick as a dog...

[AK907]

I feel like crap. I have a chest/sinus cold and its whooping my butt. Its not the congestion that is getting me. I can deal with all the tissues and the sore nose/throat that follows. Its the part of every cold that just puts you in a daze and effects your ability to think straight. Everything little thing that normally wouldn't bother me is getting on my nerves.

I need something to perk me up fast because to be perfectly honest this NyQuil isn't doing crap! Anyone have any remedies to help alleviate the worn down/stoned feeling associated with a cold? My wife and I are going to a concert on Monday and I'd like to be at least somewhat clear headed so I can enjoy it instead of spending the whole concert wondering where I am.

I think I have the exact same thing. It's apparently a bout of Strep that's going around, a really vicious one. I went to see a doctor and they put me on Pen. for 10 days for it. I feel super dazed, I'm coughing all the time, I can't stand all the people around me anymore, I'm getting hot and cold flashes, no appetite, migraines galore... it's wonderful.

I say, see a doctor, take some Cold FX, and before I was told I had strep, I found that a boost of Bvitamins and caffeine helped mildly (hehe, energy drinks...). Fast remedies, I don't know. Take a hot bath, relax, and sleep a lot, and try to get some long-term meds or something.

I know all about B vitamins and caffeine! My mother in law bought me 40 odd cases (12 cans per case) of an energy drink called King 888 for $2 a case. I am addicted to these little buggers and they aren't doing crap for me today. I'm also on jug #4 of orange juice (looooove me sum oj!) in two days.

Speaking of a hot bath, that sounds really good. I think I am going to go do that now... If I can even fit in our undersized tub that is... While I'm at it I'm going to hook up a DVD player to our spare TV that is sitting on a shelf in our bathroom and watch The 10th Kingdom. Nice, comforting, B movie.

Ugh... I'm very sick too! I havent been online that much lately because I'm going through the worst moment of my life, so far.

See, 2 months ago, my sister (12 years older than me) spent like 2 weeks in the ICU, and almost every night the doctors said she wouldn't last the night. Even my dad who is a somewhat reknown Doctor, was losing all kinds of hope on her (it is really hard to see your dad crying because he would lose his oldest)
But she came thru it.

Then, at the same time, my paternal grandparents (he is 91 and she is 85(I think)) who always were very active and healthy, out of the blue went crazy (turns out that grandma accidentally took an overdose of grandpa's meds, and he kinda lost it having to take care of her). Man... She was really messed up up there, I caught her once washing her face and hands with DW-40. After 3 weeks of Dad controlling both of their meds, they came back to normal.

To add up to everything, Engineering School isn't going very well, and ADHD isn't helping. Also, my relationship with my girlfriend has been downhill for the last couple of months.

To keep adding things, an aunt died 6 weeks ago. Also my family hasn't stopped giving me crap about college and my depression... LE FUUUUU


Now, what has made this ordeal even worse is that 3 weeks ago, 2 close friends were killed...


Sorry, I needed to vent
