Some nasty upper respiratory infection crud going around....

[General Lee]

I got something. Coughing and sniffling at the moment.

I would start loading up on Vitamins and minerals. I'm talking overload on the stuff

 

[RoseRed]

really? What happens?

Tangles really easily.

 

[General Lee]

Sounds like I need to go shopping - what kind of minerals?

zinc, maganese, echinacea, Vit C

 

[General Lee]

Whoa you must have been really sick.

I only had Vitamin C lol

 

[RoseRed]

Have you guys seen the weather outlook for this weekend? High 60s and 70s. That sucks!

Welcome to SOMD!

WeatherBug says rain Sunday through Wednesday... Blick

I usually get the Aiirborne Gummies - the yuuuuge bottle. I take them all day long for a couple of days. They have Vitamin C and also Echinacea (which I swear by even though the studies over the years have been pro and con depending on the year!)

I'm loving it!

The only problem with that weather is that it will drop back down to the 30's again. Then it feels even more cold!

Never mind. I can't find the screwdriver. So I was saying I just got out of the bathtub and went outside barefoot with wet hair and the lady next door said you're going to catch pneumonia and I thought no I'm not that's an old wives tale and voila I'm coughing.

Avoid your mom as much as possible, wear a mask, use hand sanitizer.

I think it's the heat in the house that's causing this. It was 48 degrees in here this morning so I shut the windows and turned the heat on to take the chill off and forgot it. It's so dry in here now.

Get saline spray. It works great to keep all your nasal passages from drying out.

Well, hello! Hope all is well with you!

HE'S ALIVE!!!

 

[RoseRed]

Oh I thought the rain was starting on Friday I was just thinking we should have another online pj party since it was going to be nasty.

Let it hold off. I'm going to Bethesda on Saturday and hate driving in that much rain.

 

[RoseRed]

Proof positive that he was never in my freezer.

Never a doubt!

I have sinuses problems all year. The dry heat kills me, the saline helps a lot.

 

[RoseRed]

I'm only coughing a little today - I'm as dry as I can possibly be though.

Drink more water.

 

[mitzi]

Did anybody get a sore throat with this?

I didn't. Mine was mainly endless congestion and hacking when it went down my throat. Nothing (saline rinse, cold meds, humidifier) gave more than temporary relief.

 

[GWguy]

I've had it since 22-Dec. Only just now slowly getting better, still an occasional cough. Took a ride today just to get some fresh air in my lungs. No sore throat, but my sinuses are killing me.

 

[GWguy]

On the sling?

Yup. Best way to force air in your face.

I thought it might have been drive your bike to Point Lookout Day or something. I have all the windows open and there's been a steady stream all afternoon.

Yeah, lots of bikes out, passed many between here and the Point. Checked out the Schnibles renovation. Doesn't look like much is happening, but I see a new sewer went in.
