6 people that I know of have the same symptoms as me and they all started this holiday weekend.

I just keep hacking up phlygm...

Anyone else have it? Is it from the drop in humidity and temperature?

WTH were all 6 of you doing?

















































;)

I am sick as well, along with 5 other people that I know. However, we are all part of the same terrorist cell, so all of us catching the flu is not unusual.

I have it, but no sore throat. But I've had a cough and mucus and crap for 2 weeks now.

I've been sick for just over 8 weeks now. Saw an infectious diseases specialist this morning, now I have to choke down yet another random antibiotic while they try to figure out what's wrong with me. It started as a light cold, and moved into extreme diarrhea with fever and productive cough, extreme fatigue and poor sleep. I may have to drop out of school. I haven't been to any classes since mid-October, and my work hours are cut nearly in half. I'm poor, with little hope of getting caught up with a month+ of classes, sick, and still don't know wtf is wrong with me.

So yes, others are sick :)

Caught the same thing over the weekend, same symptoms. I've been chocking down nyquil and airborn pills with hot tea and plenty of sleep. It doesn't help that I've had to work like this though, not allowing me enough rest. I'm feeling a little better today though.

Not sick per se, but my sinuses have been driving me insane for the last few weeks. I don't feel bad otherwise though, so I guess it's just my allergies. Come on, first heavy frost! :p

At least you *got* a diagnosis - lyme can be a tricky little SOB; it can bring on and/or mimic a lot of other things, and that can throw doctors for a loop.

We have already had a few frosts here in Ohio.
I thought frost killed all those allergy causing items, but I guess not.

I had one last Thursday until Monday. My mother also came down with one. And a few friends on the internet I have talked to have been sick lately. Amazing how things spread.

Not when you live south of the Mason/Dixon :p I live right at the border of Missouri and Arkansas - up until last Monday or Tuesday, the temp was still up into the 60s, and occasionally the 70s, on a regular basis.
