Hang in there pal. I hope you get over your cold soon. I'm sure I would be freaking out as well.

Colds will affect us all differently.  I had a cold a couple of months ago and my CD4 count is under 200.  My cold lasted only about a week, lots of tissues, runny nose, sore eyes, sneezing and coughing.. but despite my lack of cd4's my body seemed to kick that cold to the curb.  Just keep your eye on symptoms, drink plenty of fluids, go see your doc, especially if you are feeling unwell.  If you haven't already you should see about getting your flu shot.

Hey Dingo,

Hang in there. It will clear up for you very soon. If, it should persist please by all means check in with your Doctor.


Happy Holidays!
