Anyone else been battling a cold, sinus pressure, sour throat, cough and crest congestion.
Feeling like shit for the past week can’t seem to shake this … Can’t sleep at night because of coughing, feel a little better during the day but then at night it get worse.
Called my doctor today he said sounds like a type of bronchus virus that going around, last about 2 weeks but can get dangerous. I have an appointment at noon.

Anyone else suffering from this virus cold infection lately?

Note: Some Triaminic and Theraflu products are being taken off the market because
the child-resistant caps failed to function properly.

WTF I need this Theraflu it works ...

The last couple times I've had a cold, I've shaken it in a couple days just because I'll completely shut down and call off work for a day or two to get healthy. My office is pretty close quarters, so I absolutely HATE when sick people come into work unless they're doing something 100% essential that there's no way they can miss a day.

pseudophedrine is the only thing that helps me during a cold. not the fake stuff, but the stuff you have to get behind the counter.

I usually stock up and buy a bunch of it when I'm sick, then use the leftovers to make meth

Hope this helps

I can work from home or go into the office/warehouse.
Because I'm not feeling good and sick I just tell everyone to back off and not to come into my office.

What ever this is it not fun at all ... I think it's breaking up a little I don't feel that bad today.

For the past week I've taken lots of over the counter cold / flu meds, drank lot of liquids and hot tea and soup and swallowed Vicks Vapo Rub in the evening for my sore throat.

Start writing a bunch of threads and PM them to Justin, so if this is the end, he can slowly release them after you pass.

No .. been doing this way back when I was living with my grandma as a kid .. standard treatment rub some on your chest at night and swallow some for your throat. Try it, it really works great and it does taste that bad&#8230;</SPAN>
