Is it just me, or would you rather just be sick than zooted on Dayquil? This is annoying.

I have all kinds of peeps coming over tonight for dinner, and I just want to hide and watch something inane on tv. HUMBUG! Jameson, take me away!

After 2 days of no sleep, splitting headache, sore body and on and off coughing spells, I pick medicine. Tis the season!

The wife and I both have the flu. I feel spacey even if I skip the meds, so might as well ease the situation. We were supposed to host Christmas Eve dinner at our place. Now we're in quarantine. We don't want to expose the rest of the family to this crap. I feel like I've done about a million sit-ups and when I get into a coughing jag, I almost pass out. Wheeee!

This one started as a sore throat with chills / sweating to death / chills the next morning. Got a hell of a cough and headache thrown in for good measure. Good news is I'm sleeping and eating just fine, and haven't had the snot follies.

I've decided it's the Dextromethorphan that knocks me in the dirt. Everything else I can handle fine.


This too shall pass. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Feel better.
There is definitely a few nasty cold viruses going around. Flu has been up in the hospitals, too.

Personally, by the time I'm taking Dayquil / Nyquil, I'm pretty knocked over already.

yeah, the bug this year has been pretty annoying- and the CDC said their flu vaccine turned out to be ineffective (again).

There was a time a few years back when we didn't have anything in the cabinet but children's stuff... so I took some tussin- and had some kind of reaction to an ingredient in it... that was a trip. Decided never to take the kid's stuff again- and wondered if it did that to them...

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.

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.

I feel zero effect from Dayquil, but Nitequil on the other hand knocks me on my ass.
