Well seems the whole family has come down with something.. feavers, ackes,stuffy and runney noses... Like a cold meets flu and it stays forver! Arugh, I'm going on my second week. When will it stop! Finaly got enough strengh to get out of bed and make it to class. My cpr instructer saw me in the hall and allmost sent me back home, after she told me it may come back!

Sigh as if four days of high feaver was not enough.. Stay away from me I'm the bearer of the plague!

And for anyone else with this monster of a bug I hope you get well soon too.

Well, I was going to complain because I've had a sore throat for several days. I guess now I should consider myself lucky! I hope you and your family feel better soon.

Surprisingly I haven't caught any viruses in a while. I think the last one I had I picked up while in the hospital Jan. 08. Rather odd since I at least catch one a year.


Now if I knew why my leg felt so weird... It started with burning in my thigh last night, then burning pain in my foot in the morning, and now the burning has spread and it's achy. Leg looks fine and there's not even the slightest tenderness on my back to suggest it's from that. I think I'd prefer a cold - at least I'd know what that was.



Back to the OP's post, if you don't get better soon go to the doctor as a virus shouldn't hang on that long. Any sort of respiratory virus sets you up for a possible secondary infection.

My whole family has the same thing you have. we are slowly getting over it. granddaughters turned into a ear infection and both sons had to be put on antibiotics.. The fever and chills lasted for days. nasty bug ..

There's some type of respiratory virus going around here too, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing your family has or not.

I have to say I have been pretty lucky as far as colds and respiratory problems go this year. However the damp spring weather is playing havoc with my hands, shoulders, and neck. I have been pretty achy and sore the last few days so I can sympathize with your icky feelings.

Do you think you can catch things over the net? I think I'm getting an ear infection too!
