Upper respiratory, sinus, body aches. I've been plagued with it for a couple weeks now. Weirdest one I've had yet. When I get this I'm usually full of goo. Nothing but dry cough. Could be worse, but is this some new kind of funk?

I just went through a week of it..minus the aches....started on Xmas eve and I finally felt normal by New Years.....on the good side I got plenty of sleep, 12 hours and sometimes 14....
also got to down some Vicks Nyquil before going to bed.....that stuff makes me sleep like a baby...
I've been in Florida 16+ years, and every year either in December or January I'll get one week of this....I'm guessing its sinus related....sounds like yours is too

Hey Rob, good to see you here. I wish 1 week is all I had to deal with. I got it bad last February and swear it was the beginning of a really bad health year.

My family has been fighting it for more than a month, I am the only who did not get it. My wife had to resort to antibiotics when a secondary infection set in. Good luck.

I came down with this on Christmas Day. I’m *just* getting past it.

I also came down with it Christmas Day. Still a little weak from it. Started with a cough and progressed to nausea, 102.2F fever and copious amounts of lung candy. Wife was about a day ahead of me with it.

2 hours of sleep last night. Sitting in Urgent care right now, they're gonna put me on Doxycycline and prednisone.
Fun stuff.

My wife had to resort to antibiotics when a secondary infection set in. Same with my wife, but she's finally better now (after about a month).
I got the super-strength, senior version of the flu shot and thus far have remained crud-free. *crosses all fingers and toes* |

I had a flu shot as well, but I don't think this is the flu. Interesting note: according to my son, he and his 2 little kids received the flu vaccine for type a(?) at a WalMart near Houston. Over the holidays he and his son got extremely sick and according to the clinic tested positive for type A flu. I wasn't aware there was a method to test (nose swab?), but if this is the case then WalMart apparently had a dud vaccine.

Ditto here. Not flu so no protection from shot.

Our bass player at church came in barking like a seal. I stand next to him, yikes, stay away!

I had this all through Sept and Oct. Ultimately it settled in my sinuses, and I could not get rid of it until I took Cipro for 7 days. Nothing else worked....Moejo to all those dealing with it...

I was staying away from this topic so I wouldn't catch anything from yous, but looks like it's too late. Woke up all stuffy and getting more and more congested as the day goes on, and my head is stuffed and achy.
Ironically, we decided to lay off the booze for awhile, and I woke up feeling as bad or worse.

I missed the old thread, did someone Band Name Alert on “Creeping Crud”?

I had a fever for 9 days straight. I also passed out a couple of times from extended coughing fits, which was fun.
I'm still coughing a bit and hacking up phlegm. It's been a fun 3 weeks.
