How many of you are sick with sinus/ear infections/bronchitis now?

Who was Typhoid Mary???!!!

I think we're up to 4 cases now.

IE and I were discussing this in the chat tonight.

I was fine until about 12 hours after I got home, then all hell broke loose. It's so bad, my sister had to bring the boys' nebulizer (breathing machine) over because I can't breathe.

ALL RIGHT, WHO SNEEZED ON MY CARD?

...just kidding...



...thanks for the card, y'all...

Take care my friend and yes my prayers are with you

Do I have to say?

I really do not want too.

I would never give myself something. I was down 3 days.

It was not the normal type of cold of flu. I did sleep very much.

I hope everyone else does not get the bug.

If you do I hope it will pass fast.

NO you can not say it was the meatloaf.

I got hit with it but not a bad case. Began on Wednesday with a scratchy throat and then on to a runny nose. Thursday more of the same as far as symptoms. Friday I was coughing a lot and by Saturday only a slight cough and today feel fine. I attributed mine to the air in the plane until I spoke with IE in chat. Small price to pay for a hell of a good time.

I heard about this outbreak from Talula yesterday. Hope everyone affected feels back to normal soon.

During MoM, I was dealing with an asthma flare-up that had started in late July. Happens every summer at about the same time when warmer, more humid days arrive. My symptoms always include coughing and wheezing but those are from the inflammation in my lungs. When co-wrokers hear me, they often assume I have a cold but that was not the case here. I had no nasal congestion, runny nose or sore throat. I have a severe mold allergy that is the usual culprit in triggering my asthma attacks.

I saw my doctor the Monday of MoM week so he could check on my progress. He checked for signs of bronchitis and found none. He always prescribes an antibiotic during my attacks to prevent secondary bacterial infections that could make the asthma worse. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses but I had no symptoms MoM week of a cold or any other infection.

The sunny days, with low humidity, during most of MoM were terrific. I felt totally well at outdoor events like the BBQ at Kristoff's, where my asthma symptoms disappeared. Friday evening we had some rain and higher humidity and it felt like my lungs were closing up

I am fine, or as well as usual. It didn't seem to pass to me. --FLO--

I've had the sniffles a bit, starting wednesday after the mom I suppose. Today I'm feeling fine. Nothing too serious.

Nothing a bit of cold and sinus couldn't handle.

I think I'll just consider mine to be one more souvenir of the MoM. Not nearly as much fun as the other souvenirs, however.

Didn't get a thing. We're hardy stock up here in Minnesota. Watch, I'll get it this week after camping out in the wilds of some camp ground full of snot nosed kids always over petting the dogs. Twas fun anyway.
