Virus Be gone!!!

[luvwinnie]

Let's see...in a week I've been through a sore throat that felt like someone stuck a torch down my throat, low-grade fevers, a cough that is making my ribs hurt and now a stuffy nose to boot! GO AWAY ALREADY!

I see you're from NJ too, my daughter has the same exact symptoms. What makes it worse is that my other daughter is due for surgery on Thursday and I need to keep her healthy, easier said than done though

Hi, I'm in Bergen County. Hope your daughter gets better fast and that your other DDs surgery goes smoothly.

Have you tried that Airborne??? Everyone raves about it, although i've not tried it yet. There was a $1.00 coupon for it in this week's Sunday insert in the Parade/USA Today magazine.

It's supposedly something created by a school teacher because she kept getting sick all the time - and it looks like an alka-seltzer.

Feel better soon!

no, I'll look into it, thanks!

I've had some kind of cold/virus for a week now. I was starting to wonder if it is West Nile virus or something! I just can't seem to get rid of it!

OMG I had the SAME thing! Started out as a sore throat, I thought that was getting better when I got a little cough and stuffiness. Then it felt like full blown sinus infection. I started taking amoxicillan and tynlenol sinus. It went back to sore the sore throat once the stuffiness cleared up. Now I just have a runny nose. Btw this all started LAST TUESDAY!!!

My BF I think is now getting the same thing. I stayed pretty much isolated from everyone when I had it and never kissed him so I dont think he got it from me (havent seen him in a week now).

I am also from Bergen County. I guess this is just a Bergen County Bug. But I will say the amoxicillan and tylenol sinus did make me feel better. Also I tried a suggestion from this board and snorted up some salt water to clean out my sinuses. Yes its odd, yes it works!


FEEL BETTER!!!!

Actually I feel almost 100% now. Just a little bit of the runny nose. Not a huge deal. Give yourself a week from start to finish! Lots of yummy tea, snort some salt water, get lots of rest, and take lots of pills.


lol this is one of the only circumstances I will condone the snorting of anything or taking of pills lol!
