illnesses going around...
I was just wondering from those who might have been ill recently in the area. I was "hit" with something a week and a half ago---cough, head full, weakness, slight headache and achey-ness. Anyone else been having this?? How long does it last??

OH..I am sorry. One other person I know has the same symptoms. Would you trust some of my chicken soup?

Gracie...thanks for the thoughts and the offer. I don't have an appetite really and already have some chicken soup.
Xavier...let's keep this thread going as it would be "interesting" to hear other's inputs AND to keep up on the progress of this nasty bug. Hoping you'll soon be up and at em (me too). Oh...and it must hit each one individually. I had the throat thing right away...that's gone now but the cough is still here but it's better than before. |

Jen... a group of 14 of us returned from a cruise about 10 days ago and 6 of us got sick towards the end of the cruise or after our return. Similar symptoms as you described.
Also, this is high pollen/allergy season in FL so that irritates breathing and throats. Last I checked on the CDC map, flu outbreak was "widespread" in FL. Finally, by late February a lot of visitors from the North start flocking down, bringing germs with them. Mix all of the above together and you get lots of sick peeps. As to how long it lasts, the yucky feeling lasts 3-4 days, the cough lingers. Your results might differ.

Careful, Gracie, alot of us might suddenly come down with a touch of something, with an offer like that!
You are so kind.

Maybe we can open up our own wing of "sickies" somewhere. I just woke up from a nap and feel like another one might be in the off-ing this afternoon. I should have some lunch...but ugh...not one thing sounds good! Maybe some soup would do it!!
Hoping this doesn't last a month!!!! |

I had it in January. It was almost 3 weeks before I started feeling normal. Hope yours doesn't last as long!

It will be 2 weeks in a day or two now that I came down with this "bug". Still not 100% but getting there a little, a day at a time. So whoever said it last us to 3 weeks probably is right with this. Hope you all, who've spoken up here and have it...that you're feeling better soon!!!

Thanks Jen, the doctor said yesterday, good news, the bronchitis is gone, bad news is, you now have allergies with all this pollen around. Back to the Zyrtec, let's hope it helps. I'm so tired of being sick...

I was got a cough/cold at Christmas
and then in February, I was hit by "the Bug" with aches, and cough and lethargy. I was knocked out for 3-4 days and could hardly get out of bed and had 2 bowls of apple sauce and some ginger ale in the 4 days. Over the next 2 weeks I gradually got better but still have to watch how I expend my energy. This is a brutal one and a friend in Montreal called it the 180 daymflu. I used oragonol oil and Hydrogen Peroxide (35%) and Buckley's to get it under control. I haven't had the flu for eons so this was new for me and I am hoping that I have built up enough immunity that it won't take hold again. I'm counting on it to be gone from TV by April so we won't be laid up. Would hate to waste any of our precious days down there being sick! Hope you all are getting/staying well.
