Who else is sick at the moment?

My chance now.

I feel okish, but got a tight chest.

 

Maybe some chest infection.

 

Sigh

Winter is almost over . . . . We will all get better for the spring :-)

screw the colds and little sniffles I went all out and got chickenpox from my kids this week ha top that ....I don't think I have ever been so ill. It started on Sunday night with a fever and slowly got worse on Tuesday morning I had a couple of spots starting up so I went to the doc who gave me some anti viral s and some anti inflammatory's and a shot of voltaren. On Wednesday my whole face was covered with pox in my throat frikkin everywhere but it seemed to fizzle out around my waist i could almost count the ones on my legs ... then wed night the itching ...so i medicated myself to sleep and on Friday I started to recover ...what a frikkin nightmare I'm a bit nervous about when I should start riding again though .....hells bells I hope I don't have to go through that again ..... I still look like crap with flipping sores all over my face and head.

Usually when you have had chicken pox you have antibodies for it and won't get it again

 

Was sick last week (flu) not very pleasant. Still have a slight cough, so I'll wait a few more days before getting back on the bike again.

Crikey Been sick since mid June. Three courses of antibiotics and sinuses still infected. Going to ENT this week to hopefully stop the bugs for good this time. Training has been patchy. Missed two events. Longing to be fit again.

most be a particular sinus bug going around. Reading your post is like dejavu. Also going to ENT on thursday, i have had 8 weeks of it and going off my head. I'm also asthmatic so can't risk getting on the bike besides some light spinning.

Hi all,

thought i would contribute.

I regularly get sick, mainly colds that become respiratory infections, after years of trying things this is what works for me, below is the protocol i follow if i have an active sinus infection (multi colored mucus), if i dont clear that it will generally lead to ear infection and bronchitis.

 

i use a nasal rinse kit twice a day.....(i use it 2-3 times per week when healthy, this is one of the best changes for my sinuses)

 

then i have linctagonc and acc200 in the morning and evening.

 

and quite a high dose of both septogard and ViralGuard.

 

finally 2 squirts of this into each nostril.

 

*Disclaimer - I am not a doctor nor chemist, i just have found that this works for me.

Gravity - that's quite a regime you have going there!

 

I had a friend who used to swear by snorting warm water with a dash of salt in it. Tried it once or twice when I had a cold coming and its not overly pleasant :-(

 

What works, works though.
