My kids both had colds all last month. They had one and then got over it only to get a new one 2 days later. Their latest cold has hit me and I feel like I've been run over. My trashcan is full of tissues, my nose hurts, my head aches, and my eyes just want to take a nap.
I'm hoping for a rally here because I have a class to teach in 14 minutes. ugh.

here is my trick.
WINE.
Alcohol kills all those little buggers

pop the pills as soon as you *think* you have a dry throat or teensy sniffle. I like Dayquill with vitamin C. Mucinex has been working well with the chesty colds too. I know what you mean though, it never fails to start with me and then come back around to end with me all over again. *sigh*

nice, Pam. now.. what do I have in the frig?
One more meeting to make it through and then it's wine with dinner tonight.
I took my box of tissues to class with me. It turned out to be a really good idea.

OMG. I totally understand - it's like a two week on two week off cycle with colds this time of the year. For the kids, and unfortunately me too! I would have thought I could escape some of their nasty germs with my "more experienced" immune system every now and then.
Hope you get to feeling better quickly! I'm all about the nyquil too - cold drugs + alcohol!!

Kids have colds right now, only the second round of the year. I very rarely get one...I'm lucky I guess. With all the exposure at work and from having 6 kids worth of germs....I must have a good immune system. On the rare occasion I do get a cold however, I am a firm believer in Sudafed (generic of course)....solves all the problems!

I have been lucky and haven't had a cold yet this year, but I swear by lots of rest, fluids and Vitamin C. I don't know if this makes any difference but everyday I have been eating a cup of super yogurt, with Pre and Probiotics that is supposed to help your immune system. My ds has had several colds this year and I haven't caught one from him.

I don't think 14 minutes is long enough for a rally! Good luck, anyway, and I hope you feel better.

yeah, 14 minutes wasn't long enough. I took the box of tissues with me to class and it was good that I did so I didn't drip on the students.
Then I had a 2 hour meeting and I blew my way through that.
I'm at home now, editing pictures. I really just want to go to bed. Doubt I'll hit the medicine or the bottle until tomorrow. I want to really sleep, not drug or alcohol induced sleep.

I went to bed at 8pm hoping to fight it off.
I feel worse, so time to hit the cold medicine.
I really do feel bad for the kids because all the good cold medicine for them has been taken off the market.

I hate it when Quincie gets sick, I get it after her and it is always a lot worse. Mark never get it but then again he stays as far away from us as possible. Get better soon!!

Ugh! Feel better! I don't know how to tell you to rally because other than sinus headaches and migraines, I haven't been sick in years...crossing all my fingers and toes and backing out of the room!

I'm gonna cough on you, Laura
And then when my nose is runny I'm going to walk up to you and wipe it on your knee
what? my son does it to me all the time
no meds for me, I had another health issue this morning and didn't make it to the store.
off to teach 4 hours of lab - yay
