    So, here is the deal from my Dr...

    I started Sunday night with a sore throat, then Monday turned into a bad head cold by Wednesday, tightness in my chest and coughing, wheezing, then started coughing up crap. I have been running a little fever...100.8. BAD headache and ringing ears the entire time and just TIRED as fuck, but have been working. I have an office and I just kept the door shut and told everyone to stay away.

    So, Dr. says I have all the pig flu symptoms, except my fever is lower. The issue is what you get after that will need to be treated. I have a secondary bacteria infections...bronchitis and a sinus infection. He said you REALLY have to be careful with this stuff, as it can go to your lungs and get nasty.

    Then, he said if I do not see improvements by Saturday, I have to come back in for blood work to confirm H1N1 and then be treated differently. Someone else said there was not a treatment on here...so I have no clue.

    Anyway...if you have a nasty cough you will most likely need to be on antibiotics.

    Fever last night, called into sick work today.... got out of bed at 2 PM and laid on couch playing xbox ;)


    No Evil one...thank YOU. Who was the one passing around that ginormous beer bottle in G2 on Sat night??? LOL

    I've had a cold all week too. Started halfway through my FIRST day at my new job! lol (Mon). I suspect mine was from standing in the rain after Fridays show freezing my ass off, and lack of sleep.
    Or those fuckers at Pats put something in the Cheese-Wiz lol since most of us were there on Friday night.

    Those two shows were DAMN worth it tho!!!

    i just keep sliding further and further into dark sickness that is known as Philly flu.

    started with the sore throat, then a little nasal congestion....now the little pills are becoming useless agaist it. starting to sneeze more and cough more.

    yep, i'll be spending the weekend in bed watching football and sleeping.

    some host Philly was. :lol:
    81 is now off the air

    If you've got a nagging cough and a fever, get checked out. I thought I'd picked up a chest cold earlier this week and then landed at the doctor yesterday when every cough made my chest feel like it was going to shatter and my temp was 102. A couple of chest x-rays later and I'm now home with pneumonia. Aaah, the Spectrum, it just keeps on giving.

    I gave in. After suffering at work 4 days and getting progressively worse, I am home in bed and have a dr apt today in the late pm. its the first they could get me in...

    and good timing on my part....this week in NJ the schools are closed and its like Lord of the Flies in my house right now so me getting any rest is a negative.

    Get well people, only thing I had was a headache but that I think was due to the lack of sleep and airplane flight home. I have yet to wear jeans but I have put away my Birks for the year. :)

    Getting sick sucks so I do wish you all the best and make sure to have some hot soup and some OJ.


    Have a great weekend.

    I went to the doctor's yesterday. I think I got sick from my trip to Philly, but I did not get the flu (swine or otherwise). It's something viral, but the doc's don't know quite what.

    So worth it, though.

    Not sick yet, but something's been trying to get me all week... my head has been pounding for days and I've been downing Berocca every morning. I figure if I finally sleep all weekend, I'll shake whatever is trying to get me.

    I'm starting to recover from P1J1 virus. My cough seems to be gone for the most part and I just have a stuffy/runny nose. My body still aches though.

    My sidekick is down for the count and home on Tamiflu. He's been a mess since Sunday-ish. I'm hanging in though I've gotten a terrible case of fatigue this week. Not as in 'i'm tired' but real fatigue! I hope I'm in the clear....
    Why go home?

    Guess the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines I got right before I left did the trick since I'm still hanging in there.

    I've been on Tamiflu since Tuesday. 4 days in Philly. Totally worth it. H1N1 and a week off of work? I'll take it. Although the 103 fever, aches and congestion really have fucked me up bad.

    Still just have a lingering cold. Tired, been chilling most of the weekend. I'm not surprised after abusing myself for 5 days but I definitely don't have any kind of flu.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    No H1N1, just bi-lateral pneumonia.....

    I left the Friday show early. Spent all night and the next day very sick. Even had to check myself into a Philly hospital Saturday. While everyone was rocking out, I was throwing up so hard I broke several blood vessels in my face! So sunday, I had a nightmare flight that I made it through, came home and continued to be sick. On Tuesday, went to a hospital here in Missouri. At one point my temp was 104.6! They were throwing ice on me to cool me down. Only stayed a few hours before they let me go. Wednesday and Thursday, things got worse. So, thursday night I went to the hospital for the 3rd time. This time I was diagnosed with bi-lateral pneumonia. Basically that means pneumonia in both lungs. It is now late Sunday 11/8, and I've been in the hospital since Thursday. I have been sick for 10 days! I hadn't been sick in my life. Pretty shitty deal. Just today for the first time I checked the setlist for what I missed. Hope to do right next time I guess.
