UH OH!
I think I am coming down with the "bug" that everyone on here has been talking about! I don't feel too bad....I just have a horrible horrible sore throat and I sound horrible! It's making it very difficult to drink or eat anything and I'm not getting my protein in very well today! usually by lunchtime I have at least half of my protein in for the day! UGHGHGHHHH!!!!!!

It must be traveling through the internet...a true computer virus. Today I am actually feeling a bit better - just very "chesty" and nasaly. However, I have not been able to eat a thing. I'm pouring down the fluids as fast as I can, but so far today (and it's almost 2) I have only had about 5g of protein.
I tried to eat lunch and I felt like I was going to choke.
Feel better, fluids, fluids, fluids!
oh holly i am so sorry to hear this.
this is my second bout with this thing since just before christmas. all i can say is get an antibiotic a.s.a.p.
i have been in bed since monday, and on avalox since monday night, and i still don't feel up to par. i went out today to pick up my mother in law and take her to physical therapy and it exhausted me. i didn't even get out of the car. the cold air made me cough more and my chest is now killing me.
i hope you have a mild case. this feeling really sucks. i have barely been eating, and what i do eat i only eat because i know i have to. thank goodness i got the vials of 42 grams of protein. that helps me to keep my protein at at least 70grams per day.
feel better, i will be thinking of you,

I have one word....ZICAM!!!! I love that stuff. As soon as I start getting a scratchy throat, I get the nose swabs and swab EVERY 4 HOURS. IT WORKS!!! I have only gotten one cold in the past year and a half and that was when I didn't take the Zicam. I like the nose swabs because you don't get that nasty zinc aftertaste that you get with the throat spray or the lozenges. I also like the nasal spray gel. ZICAM ROCKS!!! I would leave my desk/house now and go out and get it if you are coming down with it. When I take it at the first sign, the next day I feel great. Last month I thought I was getting the flu...body aches, headache, chills...took the Zicam and the next morning...NOTHING!!! I have been recommending it to everyone I can and have gotten quite a few people hooked on it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! Oh, and I don't get any endorsements for recommending it. I just finally found something that works. DH came home from work last week with Nyquil and Dayquil and I was like what is that for? Where's the Zicam. He said it was gone. He suffered through for 3 days. I dug some swabs out of my purse and gave them to him. He didn't take them every 4 hours and got sick. MEN!!! Just don't listen. Hee Hee.
Hope you are feeling better. Stay hydrated. You'll get your protein back in when you are feeling better.
Hugs and chicken soup,
