I must have picked it up just before we left. It was nasty. Kept me down for two weeks. Seemed like a hybrid of cold/flu. I normally shake off and play through stuff like that. Not this bug. | ------------------------Re: The Crud going around...

I've been here since early Nov. and contracted what we call the "grips" two weeks ago...it's now mainly cough and runny nose at this stage. However last nights news from Calgary, Alberta stated 20 deaths in the past week from the flu ! So we should count our blessings, Si ? | ------------------------Re: The Crud

My take on it is viral bronchitis. Cough, malaise. Cough expected to last 3 weeks or more. Contagious. Antibiotic NOT indicated. Rest, fluids, antitussive (cough syrup), expectorant, NSAID or Tylenol. I'm on day 8.....All sources state >90% of bronchitis is viral. | ------------------------Re: The Crud

my bronchitis morphed into pneumonia last week - now on a nebulizer, cough syrup and, yes, antibiotics! Not enough energy for anything. If the symptoms sound like you, go see a doctor! | ------------------------
