Oh christ, I've got it hardcore.

Whole bunch of people at the office have it too, and I just got over a cold in february and so it's almost been like it's consecutive.

+1 Headache
+1 Fever
+1 Sore Throat
+1 Dry Cough
+1 Runny Nose now red and sore
+3 Boxes of cleenex
+5 Sneezes per minute
+3 Shitty sleeps
- 1 Voice
- 1 Long weekend down the shitter

= One Ben under the weather.

Went to the store today, left with:

+1 Bottle Cold-FX
+1 Bottle NyQuil, original green death fucking flavor
+1 Bottle DayQuil, orange mystery cream fuck.
+1 Box DayQuil Liquigels
+1 Box NyQuil Liquigels (extra drowsy)
+1 Box Buckleys Cough Cold and Flu 24h relief pack
+2 Halls Centers
+2 Alpine Gum
+2 boxes of Puffs Lotion uber soft tissues


Hopefully this huge concoction of pills and tonics will equate to feeling better soon.

I just finished an entire pot of green tea, and my nose is running like a faucet now.

Anyone else feel my pain?

I got hit with it 2 weeks ago. The flu symptoms were gone after 3-4 days however im STILL fighting a bit of a cough.

ColdFX is complete garbage. NyQuil/DayQuil is the only stuff that worked.

Yeah it ran its course with me a few weeks ago and like sputnik the flu part was over pretty quick but the cold symptoms stick around. I find to get rid of any flu, I grab every blanket in the house, wrap up in them and sweat it out (be sure to drink lots of fluids though).

Don't take too many of those pills because most of them have the same active ingredients (dextromethorphan) and having too much of that stuff is not fun (it will turn your snot into something as thick as toothpaste basically). If you get a sore throat, grab some bradosol or cepacol - both have an anaesthetic that numbs your throat. Most of the other junk on the market for coughs/colds doesn't really work.

Nyquil is good, but I just got off my nasty flu and drank boxloads of NeoCitran. That shit does wonders!

I haven't got it, but probably at least 20 people that I know have caught it over the last month.

Just remember to pound back the water while you have it, if I'm sick and I'm sitting around all day I try to drink 10 litres per day.

especially hairy pussy, its a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria. true story, you could have the best immune system in the world but once you go down on a girl your fucked, youll be bed ridden for weeks with god knows what.

cold f/x really only works if you take it just when you start to get sick, otherwise it won't do a whole lot.

hope you get better soon man :dunno:

i had it for a whole week this month. one thing you should do is only rest somedays you might feel good and go out and it suddenly hits you again and you'll feel 10x worst. so stay in bed until you feel normal.

last cold I had was in the early 90's, last flu I had was in the late 80's.

I had an infection in a gland in my face 6 weeks ago, does that count? It was so bad I actually had to goto the Hospital.

In a nutshell. Ugh!

Went out and had a good time tonight anyways, Bailies and Coffee ownz.

Thanks for the get well e.Wishes, I'm on the mend. Doubled up the NyQil dose last night, felt significantly better than before, done the same tonight, can already feel it. ;)


*insert Denis Leary here:
I love Nyquil man, I love it! I love it, I love it, I Love it! It's the best shit ever invented isn't it huh?! I love the name alone! NyQuil: Big N, Small Y, Big fucking Q!!! I love that fucking Q dont you? What a great advertising idea, put a huge fucking Q on the box. They'll get high and stare at it "The Q is talking to me, the Q is talking to me!" I love NyQil man, 'cause NyQil has never changed man, it's NEVER changed! All the other medicines now are doing that inner child thing: "We know theirs a small child inside of you so now we have grape and cherry and orange flavor." Not NyQuil, they still have the original GREEN DEATH FUCKING FLAVOR!!! You know why? 'Cause it doesn't matter what it tastes like, it's so strong you go "*gasp* Hey this stuff tastes like..." Bang you're in the coma already! "What happened?" "He said 'Tastes like' and he went right into the coma, it was unbelievable!'" We have reached a point where the over the counter drugs are actually stronger than anything you can buy on the street. It says on the back of the NyQuil Box, on the back of the box it says "May Cause Drowsiness". It should say "Dont make any fucking plans!".

NyQuil NyQuil NyQuil we love you, you giant fucking Q!!! And NyQuil is the secret for all you 12 step recovery program people. Yes, All you AA people NyQuil is the Key, it's the 13th fucking step! You can drink it, it's over the counter. Drink as much as you want! "Are you drunk?" "No, I have a cold!, same cold I've had for 2 years and I cant seem to shake it! I'm High as a kite and my teeth are green, Merry Fucking Christmas!"

I'm usually all better by mid-day, or if I feel that I have some minor symptoms, drop a couple of contacts and I'm instantly better. It's nowhere near some of the things the other members are going through, and very thankful for that :D

The same goes for the rest of my family, rarely do we get sick. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we are workaholics? Or we don't really go anywhere, always in the same place? I really have no clue.

Oh yah, I think sleeping 9+hours really helps too :D
