I have had a dry cough for the last two weeks and have these wierd fluctuations in energy. I’m o.k. for a bit but get exhausted really easily. In fact it is exhausting to be sitting here typing this. Anybody else feel like this recently or have any idea what it might be? I saw the local doctor here and he gave me a bunch of pills but I have no idea what they were. Anyway they didn’t work obviously.
Yeah I just got socked with something real bad. It started Sunday night with that yucky feeling in the throat when you always have to spit—>turned into a dry cough Monday—>had a bad fever yesterday–>today fever is gone but feel like I have a headfull and waiting for it to drain…still coughing a bit. Had to take the past day and a half off. I’m blaming it on not bundling up enough on the scooter when the sun is not up.
Anyway, I think water and rest is the best bet. Along with Vitamin C…maybe some OJ or something.
Anyone remember how the old saying goes? Is it “starve a fever, feed a cold”? Do I have it backwards or is that right?
I have something like that going on right now. It feels a little like when I had strep throat last year, but the throat hasn’t gotten nearly as sore.
I just feel tired and achy all the time, and my throat hurts a little.
If it gets much worse I’m going to try to get a strep test done. Assuming they have them here.
Just got over something similiar that hit most of our household. Nasty sore throat and stuffy head. You might be feeling weak BECAUSE of the medicine the doc gave you. I’ve had that stuff knock me down good a couple of times, so I always ask carefully what I’m getting. Most of the time best thing to do is rest and drink lots of liquids.
Whatever Maoposquid has, that’s what I got. Exactly the same symptoms. Tired, achy, bit of a sore throat, headache and a dry cough that produces nuthin. Fuckin hell.
And that guy bob has it too.
