    Holy shit, what is Philly infested with disease infested people? It seems like everyones response was "im sick as hell, i got the swine flu, im coughing alot."

    I got back with my throat bothering me and was coughing, sneezing, and had a runny nose all through sunday. But im fine now.

    I was also drinking every night that week from tuesday-saturday, driving/being driven alot (went to philly then boston in those few days) and screamed my lungs out the PJ show. not to mention it is cold out :lol:

    i've had a sore throat, which i attribute to yellling and singing, however, i think something else is on it's way.

    i've been to plenty of concerts and never had a sore throat for a 4 days (and counting) afterwards. i figure by the weekend, i'm going to be full blown sick.

    friggen philly.

    count me in as sick too......i rarely post, but just had to log in so i can be counted amongst the sick....dont think its swine, unless it has yet to hit me, but just a bad cold, very sore throat and neck, a terrible bad cough, and tired and achey. i would think i would know it if it was the flu, and hopefully it doesnt progress to that!

    but being in philly friday and saturday, man it was worth it LOL! but hearing that peeps went, knowing they had swine, thats just not cool....i would hate to bring something like this home to my kids after practically disinfecting them every day when they get home from school! Hubby seems to be fine, so i am extra milking this one out teehee..but i feel like real crap..havent gotten out of my PJs since sunday!

    and what is with the people sneezing up in the air in the hallways when we were all smushed together--i just KNOW thats how i got it, there was no escaping the germs in that crowd! like a human petri dish indeed.

    hope everyone gets better soon! take those vitamin C's!!!

    friggen philly.

    Start popping the Vitamin C, D-3 and Echinacea. These are good for fighting illness and boosting immunity. I brought D-3 and C along with me to Philly and took them every day. I had felt like I was coming down with something but I think I headed it off as I'm fine now.

    My wife got the piggy flu... saturday we both had a sore throat and cough and just attibuted it to yelling/smoking at the concert. Hers got worse on Sunday and mine got better, by Monday she was deathly ill... and confirmed that she has the H1N1. She definitely picked it up on Saturday cause she didn't leave the house on Thursday or Friday (we have a 4 month old). Our baby boy is with his g-ma all week :(

    Though it was cause of all the screaming and taking in 4 shows ...but I've done that before.
    Felt like my body was slammed against a wall. Dry cough but no fever.
    You people with symptoms need to get Tamaflu within 48hrs.
    Luckily I did and am feeling much better. :D
    Good luck people!!

    Damm!! SORRY to hear so many are SICK. I was at all 4 shows, and so far i have NO symptons, except tired as hell and my body a little achey from JAMMING> :lol: I don't know if this helped or not, but i took a AIRBORNE tablet, before i left for each show. Maybe its just LUCK, i don't know, but i've been taking them for the last year, and i haven't even gotten a COLD... YET.

    Phillies !?! I never suspected them (just heart burn and sleepless nights). I thought it was from the roast pork sandwich I ate at Tony Lukes...

    :shock:
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    I`ve gone down with something after leaving Philly as well, finally gave in and took a day off work today. I`ve been feeling like shit since Sunday but I thought it was just from fatigue of the previous four days .... apparently not

    Count me in on the flu started Tuesday morning.... I have been in bed for 3 day 104 degree temp.... luckily it has know retreated, watching for a secondary bacterial infection....Good luck all

    Just wondering how many of the folks who go sick were on the floor? I am thinking the coffetti /balloons made all the airborn virus particles land on us.... I knew I should not have picked up the balloons!

    If it makes you guys feel any better, I'm pretty sure my boyfriend and I caught H1N1 at the Portland show in September. So we West Coast PJ-ers are germy too!

    For those of you who are saying "It's just a bad cold", that's what I kept saying when my boyfriend would insist it was the flu. Then one of his coworkers with the same symptoms got tested and it turned out to really be swine flu. I guess that's why it spreads so quickly; from everybody thinking it's just a bad cold while giving it to everybody else. :)

    Apparently swine flu is less severe than the regular flu... If you've got cold symptoms with a mild fever and low energy, there seems to be a pretty good chance you have it! Like somebody else said, 90 percent of the flu out there right now is H1N1. You can also feel better for a bit... But then the tiredness and other stuff keeps hanging on for like 2 weeks...

    Now get off the boards and go rest! :)

    Just got back from the doctors and I apparently have the standard flu.....not the one from the swine.

    I was @ the Friday and epic Saturday show. I think the sickness could have something to do with the pouring rain from Saturday night before going into the show. Standing in line soaking wet in that crap couldn't have helped.
