I was sick like that over Christmas. It sucks, hope you get better soon!

 

[sawlight]

I had that over New Years, good stuff! Feels like you have an axe stuck in one side of your head and somebody is beating on the other side with a hammer! Nyquil and LOTS of sleep!!

 

[figg]

I had it too. Went to doc. and got Z pac. felt better in a couple of days but the cough and drainage still goes on for a while. Hang in there and hope you feel better.

Oh man that sux! Hope you feel better soon! Get lots of rest this weekend if you can, being sick and not even wanting to vape is bad but still better than trying to suck on those nasty cigs

Runny noses suck My nose is raw too from all the tissues. Something that helped me today was putting Vaseline on the sore skin. It looks "lovely" but it helps. If you have some you should try it. Lotion wasn't helping mine.

Im debating whether to order sushi for lunch I knohrw my immune system is fighting off the virus but do I tempt it with raw fish? I eat sushi all the time and never have an issue. And I have eaten it when I was sick before without a problem has anyone eaten sushi while sick?

When I'm sick sushi is the last thing I want to look at. bleh

Try some chicken soup, grandma was right about it having healing properties.

I've had that crap since before Thanksgiving, off and on and after Christmas it finally went into full blown sinus infection w/bronchial congestion. Antibiotics & cough med helped but what really kicked it was a Neti pot. Had never tried one before but finally did and fell in luuuuve! Seriously, try it, it works! I felt so much better and it really helped to get all the mucus out and left me feeling clear. Also helps with the drainage, I quit coughing so much. Hope you all feel better soon!

I agree my hubby has sinus issues and refuses to take any meds for it. He was amazed by the what the netipot accomplished

 

[Blue Skies]

The netipot/sinus rinse is excellent for daily use for anyone with sinus/allergy issues. But, I tried using one while I was sick (really congested in the sinus area) and it was more painful than helpful. I was so stuffed up in there that the water didn't have anywhere to go. But, my nose wasn't really running either, so this might work for anyone that has loose mucus floating around in there. I don't use a conventional netipot though, I use:
NeilMed Pharmaceuticals, Makers of Sinus Rinse, NasaFlo Netipot, Nasal Irrigation I have found them at almost every pharmacy in my area.

You already had your sushi?

Hey, if you're experiencing real hunger, then you're on your way to being well, so eat whatever you feel like eating.
