Re: the worst things ever....

  • I hope that you get better soon Lauren!! You can't go to the most magical place on earth hacking up a lung on everyone!!!
  • i know....LOL

    thankfully, i don't have any other bad symptoms...and things haven't gotten worse...the sore throat has actually moved over to the other side of my throat from where it started, and i feel it is getting better....

    i am just keeping the vitimin C on overload...and drinking lots of water...and keeping the hands washed and out of my face... ;)

  • Did you take an antihistamine?  Drainage irritates your throat and makes it sore, so if that's the problem a benedryl when you get home could knock it out...  I really hope you feel better before your trip!
  • Lauren, take some Mucinex D as that will help to keep you from getting anything else.  Don't take too much Vit C (there is a such thing) and keep drinking hot tea w/lemon.

    Hope you feel better in time for your trip!!!

  • I think the lemonade flavored vitamin water has zinc in it too.  That might be a better tasting way to get rid of sore throat. :)

  • nope...no drainage, no sneezes....no nothing else! just the throat....

    i have my suspicion that the cooler drier air has had something to do with it....

  • yeah...I know, but when I use them like they are supposed to be used I don't get colds like I normally would. Some of the "flavored" ones are better, like the lemon ones...they are still gaggy.
  • Ew those things do taste horrible!!!

    Hope you feel better.  I have been out of the loop...where are you going on your trip?

  • Get thee to nearest drug store stat and pick up some Dayquil and Nyquil.  Those did wonders for me last week when I was fighting sore throat/nasal congestion.  Also, Halls is your best friend...
    Siggy coming soon....

    disney! this week.... so stoked! :)

    i have some dayquil and nyquil at home...but contact works wonders for me...so i have some of that right now...although i haven't had to take any today! i really think it is going away! YES!!! i don't get sick often...and usually, when i do, it knocks me on my a$$ quick...

  • OH that will be so much fun!  I so hope you start feeling better.
  • Try some vodka... it'll make you forget your pain.... LOL.
