Default I'm sick.

I came down with something Wednesday. I can barely talk, I have a sore throat. I'm coughing up phlegm, my ears hurt, and I'm, dizzy. I feel like shit! This just came on midday Wednesday. I had a long workout at the gym Wednesday morning. I felt great. Then I had lunch with a client in San Bernardino and I started feeling sick and losing my voice then. I haven't felt like this in years. Fuck! I have to be well by Monday morning. I have two long days in the field, soil vapor investigation, Monday and Tuesday. Any home remedy advice is welcome.

with HipMom. Lots of hydration and rest. Maybe gargle with salt water and/or add honey to some herbal tea.

Hope you're feeling better. Now I'm sick. A couple days ago I got this wicked fever and basically spent the next 18 hours sweating. I had flat ironed my hair that morning, but by the next morning it was super curly from all the sweating. Now I'm on to this cough/sinus thing. LAME!

Hope you get better soon. Mine turned into bronchitis. My Doctor put me on antibiotics yesterday. The next step would have been pneumonia.

I took a couple of Buckley's pills (not really a fan of cough medicine) and it's done squat. I'm soooooo over this.

I'd be happy to keep all this ick away from people. Crashed hard last night - pretty sure I overdid it during the day. Fever came back with a vengeance but at least I can breathe through my nose again.
