when I first saw the thread title, I was wondering if it was a band's name...

That would be a good band name. I always thought "Toxic Megacolon" and "Coronary Steal" would also be cool medical band names.




Are you guys doing nasal washes? Once you overcome the grossness and discomfort of getting used to it, they really help out with colds and allergies.
I cannot recommend them enough.

Apparently once your a senior citizen you very seldom get sick. Probably just jinxed myself

Had to do those quite a bit when I got my nose put back together once. They are weird. If i'm able to get anything through, I may do one tonight.

It sucks to be sick. I feel for you guys that are going through it, especially now.

I haven't had the flu for about 30 yrs, maybe because I get flu shots. But, I do get a cold every 2 or 3 years and it hits hard. In August I got what I thought was a cold, then my wife caught it. She developed a fever and her ear drum burst overnight, so we went to the doctor. Turns out, we had a mycoplasma bacterial infection. Mine lasted 7 weeks before antibiotics knocked it out. Some nasty stuff going around. I suspect state sponsored bacterial warfare. And, I blame it on obama.

My little guy and I are still trying to kick whatever it is that we got (assuming flu). It was BAD, displaying most of the symptoms you guys are mentioning. The coughing was ridiculous, and there were two days in a row that I couldn't eat anything, and the chills were insane. It was my 18 month olds first time being really sick, and my heart ached for him because I knew what he was dealing with. Hope you guys get better soon.

It can save you if you cant clear your head before a flight or scuba/free dive. However your right is really bad stuff, repeat used can mess you up for the rest of your life.
