Default Trouble - I'm SICK!!

I can not believe this is happening. A little tickle in my throat before bed last night, I took some echinacia (sp) and thought it would go away. I woke up sick and considered not going on the field trip, but couldn't let my son down. Came home - really sick. I even bought cough medicine while on the field trip, but oh man - I feel like poop! And it is going into my chest... I don't know what to do - except overmedicate! I'm doing conventional and natural remedies - I really hope SOMETHING works!

Add to this that my husband has a recording session in two weeks - if he gets it we're all screwed. You can't sing with bronchitis!! I don't know if that what it is but I want it to go away fast.

This was not part of my pre-op shopping!

Oh NO!!!!! That is not good. I hope it clears up soon......no chance it's allergies or something? Maybe try that Airborne? I sure hope it feels better soon so none of your plans get messed up.

Aww Gina I am sure it will be gone way before the 20th. Vitamin C and Benadryl has always done the trick for me. Lysol also comes in handy. I hope you feel better soon Gina.

Hey gina I don't know if this will help but my recomendation is to gargle every half hour and drink warm tea and honey.also using a vaporizer with vicks should help. I hope this might hellp in some way.good luck.

OH NO!!!!! I am sooo sory, sweetie!! Get to your PCP quick for a Z-pack!! They come in 3 and 5 day packs, so you still have time to the longer therapy. Be anal about washing your hands, and insist everyone in the house do the same. REST and sleep as much a possible and drink loads of water. OMG - you will be in my prayers BIG TIME!!!
