Sick right before my trip

[CowboyCO]

ZYCAM!!!! I use the nasal spray. I had a horrib;e cold three weeks ago and it really cuts both the length and severity of a cold!!!!

when i was younger i used to get horrible sinus infections all the time. well 2 days before my trip to Disney when i was 16 i got one. i was so upset. nothing worked to get rid of it. it went away within a few days, so it wasn't a total loss of a trip. i just felt groggy and tired. the only bad thing was the plane ride. my ears were plugged up and the pressure from the plane bothered them.

I usually get sick right at the end.
This year, I made it back and the next day I couldn't walk. Ended up in the ER, had some fluid drained from my knee, drs said I over did it on it, now i'm in a leg immobilizer and using crutches. I'm pooh sized so that doesnt help matters. the lesson learned? WALK BEFORE GOING! I did before I went 2 yrs ago, walked a couple miles every night and had no problems. Now I'm out of work for a week, lol they're not too happy about that considering I just came back from 2 wks of vacation.

go see your dr. Don't worry it will run its course and you should be fine...See you there I leave tommorow and I am at POFQ...Your going to love it there. Pixie Dust has a way of getting rid of the common cold...

Feel Better...

A lot of the other teachers in my building swear by Airborne. Needless to say, we teachers get a lot of colds. It does sound like a trip to the doctor is in order, too, though. I hope you can get an appointment quickly! I had a bad cold on a trip to WDW two years ago, and it did slow me down a little, but not enough to spoil my fun! I hope you feel better FAST!

Us too!!!

DD got a virus/cold early last week, DS started with it last Friday, DH called from work last night complaining of a sore throat.

I'm taking DS to the doctor today - he's better and definitely on the mend, but I want to get his ears checked, just in case. Don't need ear problems at 30,000 ft.

I started pumping DH with OJ, Zicam, and lots of fluids. You've got time to get over this! Push fluids, get lots of rest (I didn't read all of the other posts, but I'm sure they said the same), and definitely get to the doctor if you think it may be a sinus infection. 3 days on an antibiotic will work WONDERS!!!

Oh, and don't forget the power of positive thinking!!!! That's what I'm counting on to get us well in time for our departure! (and Zicam, Vit. C and fluids of course)

Hope you feel better and have a great trip.

Yep, count me in! I started feeling pretty bad yesterday with a sore throat, bad cough, etc.. I KNOW it's allergy/sinus, as I tend to get this often. Last month was the last round... I already have a call in to the Dr. to see if I can get a round of antibiotics & cough med's before I leave TOMORROW....

Hope you feel better soon!!

Hope you feel better and have a great time throwing some extra pixie dust your way.... We leave in 10 days I'm dealing with the ear infection crap.....

Thanks for the compliments. I am feeling a tad better, and my excitement is coming back. I've been getting tons of rest (10 hours! ) and taking Airborne and Zicam. It looks like I'll probably get better on the first or second day of the trip.

Airplane ride will be bad though!
