It's a rotten virus Rich. I had it basically from Thanksgiving to last week and I was about wiped out. Every time I'd shake it, I'd jump back into life, do too much, end up with a bunch of kids sneezing near me and whammo...I was sick again. It was the worst couple of months of my life let me tell you.

I really recommend Zicam multi-symptom. It tastes nasty but it was what finally kicked it out of me or at least gave me enough of a break from the symptoms to start to naturally heal. My hubby swears by the Zicam preventative stuff. You take it when you feel the first indicator of an oncoming cold (follow box directions). He's pushed a cold back twice in the past week or so using the stuff.
