I have one now and it is kicking my ass. One thing good is it reminds me to appreciate it more when I am well.

Same here, just two days ago started to feel better, but last week was awful.

Try colloidal silver as preventative maintenance. I make my own and that was the end of my yearly cold. Same for my family and friends. Haven't had a bacterial infection since. The 'problem' is that it works, is easy to make, and is cheap, so if the US government should ever see colloidal silver as undermining the medical industry, they'd undoubtedly make it illegal. They'd rather hook you on expensive drugs. I bought my machine for about 200 bucks. There are much cheaper contraptions on the market, but a lot of research convinced me those are not the best way to go.

I NEVER get sick but whatever is going around caught up with me last week....The sore throat was terrible! I went to the docs office after a week of putting up with that shit and they prescribed some antibiotics which killed it completely within 36hours.....GL to you guys that aren't feeling good,if it doesnt get better soon GO SEE THE DOC!

Ouch...

Let me rephrase. The medical industry does NOT want you to know about colloidal silver. lol

I have been battling one for three days now. It always takes forever to get over one since I smoke.

[JoshW]

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I am to the point where my voice sounds like a radio announcer. Quiet but REALLY deep.

Illusion I hear you. I smoke cigars so my nicotine craving doesn't really rise to the level of must have/addiction. But when going from a couple a day to none, was hard.

No colds here but Santa Ana Winds are kicking me in the butt. Rough on my sinus.

I take vitamins every day, workout, eat right and get plenty of sleep...

[patswin]

I've had a cough I can't get rid of for the past 2 weeks. Nothing I take seems to get rid of it. Kind of frustrating especially when it keeps you awake at night

[JoshW]

patswin-

You might want to go to the doctor. I had same last year and thought was just cold, turned out to be be strep throat. After a week with no progression or improvement likely a good idea.

[pags11]

not a bad idea lakerfan...

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to ride it out for a few days and see what happens. Been taking Robitussen and it seems to help. I think that's what the doctor would probably give me anyway.

[JoshW]

Antibiotics are often over prescribed, but if no improvement in a week, got to consider going to a doctor.

also remember an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure...
