I just had a hideous head/summer cold(that I gave to Jerry), and came through the worst of it in about 72hours. The thing is, I am still having coughing paroxysms that are fairly nasty. I just seem to have crud that needs to be expelled, but hangs around in the "can't get me here" zone, just below the level of the hypo-pharynx/vocal cords.
I think it just taking a toll on me overall. Yesterday, while making a quickie trip to the grocery, I had a coughing fit so bad I nearly passed out. I had to lean against the car for a couple of moments before I could stand up without getting dizzy. ..........yeah I know.....we all thought you were dizzy anyway.....right?
I need to really shed this before my trip. I've been taking a daily multi-vitamin, and getting plenty of citrus for vit-C, but I'm just too pooped to poop lately.
Short of OD'ing on Guafenisin, i just can't shake this shit.
Just hanging around feelin' like poo. Ick!

Lisa honey
Its time to take some serious action. Have you seen your doctor?? Have you been drinking Ensure or any similar beverage? Are you keeping up with eating regularly?
I just hate to hear that you feel this lousy!!!!

Lisa~

It sounds like you do need to see a doc, but I also suggest DRINKING WATER like the drought is coming. Wait, for us its been here most of the summer! Seriously though, get a 32 oz cup and sip from it all day long. Fill it up 4 or 5 times each day. "Glug" the water till you are floating when you can, it really does help to flush out your system. Yes, you'll have to piss like a race horse, but its a small price to pay to help feel a little more refreshed.

Hang in there, rest, push fluids and make sure you get to SF!

Lisa,

You were hacking a little when you and I talk and I'm very worried that this has apparently gotten worse.

Are you due for a doc appointment or is it possible to arrange one before SF?

I hope you feel better Maw!

Lisa, I'm just chiming in here on the side of those urging you to see your doctor. Chest stuff is nothing to fool around with and can quickly go from inconvenient to serious problem. Sometimes there are simple treatments which can make a big diff. So take care of yourself girl.

Wanting you to feel better soon!

Lisa · « **Reply #6 on:** August 22, 2007, 03:51:23 pm »

Thanks guys.
I do drink a lot of water all of the time. I go through about a gallon a day normally any how.
Bless your heart Joel, I am not in need of any caloric nutrition drinks.

hehehehe
I think it simply is just sequelae from the cold, but I 'spose I'm being too impatient with it. I haven't been following my own advice that I used to give my patients. Nothing has gotten worse per se', it just will take a bit longer to clear because of the condition of my immune system. It really is true that this type of coughing takes a toll on a person physically, because of the energy expended during the coughin fits.
Ever since I had this damn thing, I have been sleeping later into the morning.(which screws up my whole schedule)
I really appreciate your kind thoughts, and words of encouragement. I don't neccessarily think I need to run to a doc for it. Think I'll invest in some Guafenisin today. ......ooooooooooo or get myself f*cked up on some Nyquil.

PS- hehehe especially if you have MY chest.

Take a nice long bath. Then you will feel 10 times better.

Sorry you can't shake it, honey....that is so aggravating. I know you want to be well rid of it by AMG, and I sure hope you can.

Love & hugs,

Alan

You need to get your ~~butt~~ chest to a doctor!

If you won't do that, then maybe try some Mucinex?

Lisa · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2007, 06:56:08 pm »

Criminy GEEZ ! You haven't been properly raked over the coals until you have been told off by Lisbeth. Guess I'll get that X-ray now......ON MY EAR!

GOOD GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

::sigh:: Yes mother.

Hey Lisa!
I hope you've gone to the Doc by now Girl! Here I'm gone for a few months and come back to hear that the person who holds all the rest of us together is less that terrific ! I agree with the suggestion to try the Musilex or hoewever you spell it. I used it a few months back and it worked very quickly. Plus I liked the idea of that big bug guy walking around in my chest with his suitcase

Also the suggestion of drinking a lot of water is great but, were it me, drinking lots of water and coughing would bring on a whole new problem if you know what I mean! hehehe
Feel better Honey!

Thanks ladies! GAWD Jena! Where the hell have you been girl? I was just thinking about you the other day. Hope things are going well with you.

Melia, I'm counting on not being pooey for much longer.

Dear Lisa,

Hope you get feeling better soon. Sounds exactly like what I had last week !! Took me a good 4 days to get over it, and missed two days of work because of it. Took a lot coughing, to get this stuff cleared from my lungs, but finally it cleared.

Feel better soon-------Ray

Lisa · « **Reply #23 on:** August 22, 2007, 08:48:43 pm »

Thanks Jody,

...and Ray, that's what I've been trying to say...it is just taking it's sweet time making an exit.

Basquo · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:32:52 pm »

I had that shit, too, Honey! It sucked. But every cloud has a silver lining...hard, desperate coughing for hours all night really tones your abs and obliques!

Pansies & Puppydogs^tm,

Well I have a mask on my face, so you're welcome to cough on me, Lisa

Just kidding, get this checked out, it's not normal for you to almost pass out because of a cough.

Milker (who cares)

Nadine · « **Reply #26 on:** August 23, 2007, 05:53:47 am »

Hope you're feeling better real soon Lisa!

Lisa · « **Reply #28 on:** August 23, 2007, 02:42:13 pm »

A thousand thank you's to everyone who sent kind words, and thoughts. I am actually much better today. HOT DOGGIE!
This just confirms the true power of this place.
