    OMG. I feel so bad. Started out yesterday where I couldn't keep anything in me (#2). Then came the headache....the sore chest.....

    Then around 6pm yesterday that fever started, and reached 105.

    I'm pretty damn sure I have bronchitis too, going to the dr. in the morning. I sit next to a guy who apparently has Bronchitis in one of my classes too. :(

    So here I am, at home. Feeling the fever coming back....runny nose...sore chest and coughing up Flem. :(

    WASH your hands!

    I caught this during the Christmas holidays. Started out as a minor head cold, then two weeks later BOOM! Bronchitis. The first night the heavy coughs, then a barf session, followed by the chills, fever, very heavy coughing/ chest aches and blowing my nose so much the edges of my nostrils became bleeding pieces of hanging skin. I had to go to work since I was the only one there but slept most of the time.

    I missed all of the family holiday celebrations as I was too ill to get out of bed. I went through bottles of NyQuil, swallowed the horse pills of Mucinex and finished it off with some left over amoxicillin, a lot of Vitamin C and forced myself to drink water or Gatorade as much as possible. It cleared up (the weak muscles and fever part) in about 5 days, the runny nose in about a week to 10 days, but it's been over a month and I am just now getting over the heavy cough.

    God speed!
