The topic: I’m sick

----------------------------------------------

I’ve got a cold.  Brian started with the flu the Monday I was up at Disneyland.  I got home on Tuesday, and that night, the cold started.  I honestly thought I’d be better by now.

Well, I am better, but colds hit me hard at night with a cough.  I hardly cough at all during the day, but I coughed so much last night, I wet my pants.  Just a little, but damn.  The Tylenol stuff works and when it’s time is up, it’s like a switch was flipped and the coughing comes back.

Brian was achey from the flu.  I’m achey from coughing.

I hate the little tickle that starts in the throat and just gets stronger and stronger, until the only way to make it stop is to cough.  And once that starts, it’s hard to stop.

Bleh.  Well, at least my pants are a little less tight.



Sorry you don’t feel well!  Get well soon….

Yuck, it is so annoying to catch a cold.  Cold-Ease with zince has worked great for me.  Allows me to sleep.  Tastes terrible, but it has been amazingly effective.  I also add pillows to keep me raised up a little when the coughing is most intense.  Good luck, you will get better.

I’m sorry to hear you two aren’t feeling well! Hope you feel better very soon - make sure you have a lot of chicken soup and orange juice, it really helps! Also, plain vanilla ice cream, softened a bit and swallowed in spoonfuls so that it coats on the way down, always seems to help me when I’ve got a bad cough! By the way, do the cats who sleep with you become offended and jump off the bed whenever you cough or sneeze? Mine always have, always! Just another quirk to love them for!!!  smile

Sorry your not feeling well. I always have my Dr. call in Tessalon Pearls for a cough. It’s the only thing that takes that tickle away. CVS & Walgreens sells a generic pill form of Guaifenesin w/cough suppressant, it works pretty good too. I hate liquid stuff.
Get better soon! Pick up some pee pads-giggle! I hate that!! I had a cough around Christmas that lasted a month and got tired of peeing my pants! {{Hugs}}

Try putting Vics on the bottom of your feet. I haven’t tried it, but am told it works well.

Sorry you’re not feeling well, colds usually go right to my chest.
