Is anybody else sick from a cold/allergies?

[Rhonda922]

I came down with a cold this past Wednesday and it is really kicking my butt. I've got a bad cough, sneezing, runny/stuffy nose. The worse thing is that tickle in the back of my throat that sends me into a coughing spat -- I cough so loud and so long that I get tears in my eyes. I have yet to figure out how to avoid this. I'm going back to work tomorrow and I know everyone will be rolling their eyes after hearing me coughing. I've been out for a few days because of this and another family problem so I really need to go back at this point. I'm dreading it already. I'll just keep my sick self at my desk away from everybody else.

That's me! I was up all night on Friday with a horrible sore throat that I had from Tuesday until yesterday. There is a thread from me going around from 1:30am on Friday night complaining about it.

Now I have the ridiculous dry throat and hacking cough that will be horrible at work tomorrow. I look like I am having a fit! My voice isn't all there either. Fun fun.....

I have a viral infection. My doctor said it just has to run its course - typically 7 or so days.

Hope you feel better soon!

DW came down with a nasty cold last week. Bad cough, sneezing, stuffy head. She seems to be getting better, but now I'm starting to feel a bit stuffy. ARGH!!! So far DD and DS are good.

I've been pretty sick with the allergies. I was doing fine until stress made me stupid and I missed a dose or two of Claritin. HUGE mistake that had me in bed unable to function most of Wednesday. Still struggling with sinus headaches and everything else, but not as bad as Wednesday. Tonight my chest feels really congested and I've been hacking up a lung, which downright scares me considering my roommate (and her sister who spent Thursday and Friday nights here) have had terrible colds. I have two weeks left in my semester. I cannot get sick now

Yep, I sure am. It is driving me nuts. Tonight my throat started burning real bad again. UGH! I can't go anywhere without my nose spray and my eye drops right now.
