How much fucking goo can my body produce?!

Yes, this is a "poor me" post. Whining straight ahead:

I started coming down with this shit last Tuesday afternoon. Body aches, headaches, chills that turn to heat flashes and visa versa, coughing and runny nose.

I took Wednesday and Thursday off, ended up only able to work a half a day Friday. I feel like shit today and its my Birthday Day, but because I took off last week I couldn't today. The hours I'm losing from then are going to hit my budget bad enough.

I'm so fucking tired of coughing up flem from my chest, while my nose seems to have turned into a faucet. And every once in awhile my body will throw in a little diarrhea for fun.

Except for today, I have been sleeping 12 - 16 hours a day. Well, I have been trying to sleep. Success rate has been low. My back, side and stomach muscles are so sore from coughing.

My son spent the weekend with me because his father pulled a disappearing act on Saturday. We couldn't get ahold of him, apparently he had "issues" he needed to deal with and went to his Mom's house. Thanks for the fucking heads up asshole! You knew I was sick. Luckily one of the guys from the store I work at parttime came over and played video games and rented movies for him and my son.

It's time for break, guess I'll try for a 15 minute nap.

Okay I am back. Sorry for the whining. I'm just so tired, sore and gooey.

My doctor said there are alot of different viruses going around and I will basically have to wait this out. I keep trying different OTC meds and nothing seems to make much difference, but does anyone recommend any medicine?
 
Try Zinc. It may not provide any medicinal benefit (I usually feel better) but the shit tastes pretty bad. You'll forget you're sick while you suck on the damn thing. Zinc drops can be purchased OTC usually next to the cough drops. Some cough drops even have Zinc in them.
 
I share a desk at work (tech job) and wipe it down like i have a mental illness; results being i haven't been your current level of sick in ages.



Second take a stroll down the energy drink isle and find a can of rockstar or what ever with tons of vitamins in it (usually the juice containing ones- drink 3 cans in 2 days). Dont do this if you have high blood pressure.

Last but best get a small bottle of multivitamins and rosehips and take 3 doses each twice a day with tons of water. (drop a natural nuke on it)


That's the best ghetto, i don't have health insurance advice i can offer..:D
 
I was hoping for a lilttle bukake action...

I had the nearly the same exact snot-fest about a month ago. I used up a whole box of tissue in a day and a half. I couldn't read the paper without a nice drip-drip-drip from my nose. My head felt like a bowling ball, and all I could do is sit there, not drink, not smoke, not live. Terrible days.

Like Uber said - zinc. Find it, try it. Most of the cold/flu remedies make me feel drugged, which normally I like, but it's different when you're shooting deep, green rockets in the shower.

Sorry your B-day was for shit.
 
Damn. That sounds almost exactly like what I've got. It sucks hardcore.

Seeing as I'm in Canada, though, I simply went to the hospital, got a prescription, and that cost me thirty bucks to get filled. I don't usually use the medical system, but the last time I had a cough like this, it got major bad. When I simply couldn't quit coughing, I went to the hospital. This time I figured I wouldn't let it get that bad.
 
Actually, careful with too much Zinc. It has a nasty side effect if you take too much of it... you no longer are able to smell and food will taste nasty. I think there are other things about it, but I had brought it up with my doctor once thinking I found a neat little helper when I got a cold and he warned me against it... Yeah yeah, this doctor does do nutrition and does work on the wholistic side. They tend to be pro- supplements, and vitamins along with natural foods to remedy feeling ill.

So, do look into side effects of any vitamin, mineral, and supplement. They sound innocent, but the can cause problems if not taken correctly for the correct reasons.
 
Bah! Why bother looking into things. I say take as much as you can get your hands on. It can't hurt. Nothing can hurt you! You're impervious.

That doctor's a quack! Nothing should be taken in moderation or with concerns to side effects! Nothing I tell you NOTHING!
 
See how messed up I am! I knew the correct spelling. This virus must cause some brain damage. Hopefully it's minimal.

So far today I'm a little better. Drinking OJ like crazy, taking vitamins and took a little Zinc. Gave up on cough syrup, it wasn't helping and made me feel worse so I just get by with cough drops when I start hacking.

I went home and went to bed for about an hour or so last night. Then a friend of mine came over and we watched movies. Had a few shots. Very few (Jose shots chased by Sunny Delight. I am so lucky not to of gotten sick.). I would just look at the glass for awhile trying to determine if it was going to cause more harm or good to take it. Hopefully by this weekend this shit will be a distant memory and I can really celebrate my birthday. ;)
