GLP How many of us are sick today ?????unidentified respiratory illness?????Post if you cant stop coughing!!!!

I've had a bad cough for almost a month now and last week I drank so much water and took medicine and vitamins and slept and now I'm in vacation in Cabo and it hasn't let up... My cough has gotten worse...I'm pretty sure it's bronchitis or some secondary infection but it is horrible and I'm coughing crap up and blowing my nose constantly. I have NEVER been this sick for this long in my life.

I just read online 2T of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water works wonders. You sweeten to taste with honey. This is the only thing I haven't tried. If you are anywhere near as desperate as I am.....well, thought I'd pass it along.

Sick as a dog here, lost my entire voice now. Headaches, sinuses, chest congestion, sore throat and no voice.

Sucks....

abitt sick, wich i don't oftenly am

no coughin though just fever

but that's because i smoke 420, keeps the lungs clean

Use Musenex (sp) and drink some warm tea...it's dry in most homes - use a humidifier. Take vitamin C.

Feel better GLP.

Coughing, tired, lost my voice...

Might want to take some cayenne pepper in some water to help drain your sinuses and relieve some pressure. Try 1/4 teaspoon(powdered) in water followed by another glass of water a few times a day. You can take more if you can take the heat.:0) They come in drops at the healthfood store and you can just put them in water and see how hot you can stand it. Cayenne is good for many different things. Google about it.

I smoke, drink alchohol, and use other drugs. I'm in my 70s. I feel fine.

There is no one cure all. You have to try different things. And of course rest. But vitamin c seems to cut the duration of sicknesses and vit d certainly won't hurt especially in winter.

coughing since before Christmas
it's starting to piss me off now

Umm VapoRub which has been used you years an old standby for many for anything from headache, sinus, cold cough, fever
and it works really well.

The results? The vapor rub reduced the frequency and severity of coughs and congestion - compared to the other two groups. Plus, both sick children and their parents who used the vapor rub treatment slept better than the other two groups. The one symptom the vapor rub failed to significantly improve was runny nose, but, all in all, the vapor rub treatment was a success.

Runny nose is just a sign Vaporub it working.

how does stupid shit like this get pinned?

this website is retarded

Just started feeling better yesterday & today after 3 weeks of coughing, sore throat, temperature, earache, muscle aches, no appetite, impossible to think; the works. The flu came on fast then seemed to get better, til the relapse was worse. Ugh, it's bad but could be worse. Knock on wood this thing is really on the way out, now. Been drinking fresh orange/pineapple/banana smoothies & taking "sambucol" (elderberry) cough syrup for no side-effects relief; I do believe this kept the symptoms milder but really all one can do is sleep it away. Maybe it's nature's way to detox and slow down.

Well cause out of 224 of the people who have posted probably 120 are sick. Don't you know 120 people out of the million+ people on here is a lot!

thats 0.01%

True. And they over eat(lots of sugary foods) and over drink. And many don't get adequate sleep from traveling and/or parties.

I take Garden of Life Vitamin Code (for women, natch, as I am one) and they are amazing. Pricey and you're supposed to take 4 a day but unlike the cheap ones, they are made from whole food ingredients and don't make you want to puke when you take them. I down mine with a NutriBullet green shake in the morning (spinach/kale, banana, organic berries, plain yogurt and a scoop of GNC Maximum Greens powder) and can go all day...

My hair/nails are growing like weeds, my skin is clear, I'm not getting sick when everyone else around me is and I sleep better too. Highly recommended, wish I'd found them sooner.

Op, this is very big.

My husband hasn't stopped coughing for a year.
For me it's been 3 months.
Of course, we smoke do everyone blames it on that.
I happen to know there's another cause.

I have it. Washington State coast. Been coughing for 3 weeks now....

I'm sure your coughing has nothing to do with inhaling pure chemicals....Over 4,000 chemical compounds created by burning a cig. 69 are known to cause cancer....

Don't be silly here.

My right knee started hurting me about a week and a half ago and I was just getting over that and then i got a damn stiff neck for the last 3 days. I feel weak as hell too.

Might get a test for meningitis...

I think you nailed it. People don't realize (or want to realize) just how much radiation and how many different radioisotopes are STILL being released every minute of every day. Three complete melt-downs with the cores melting out the bottom of their reactors. Also several tons of plutonium were aerosolized when #3 blew up. Plutonium is very hard to detect, normal Geiger counters wont register it.

The massive increase of radiation in the environment increases mutation rates in ALL living things, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

So whether it's a new bug or radioisotopic side-effects, I worry that Fukushima is a factor.

People should see the movie "On the Beach" for an idea of where this is going.

Peace, M.E.H.

PS. Cough and migraines here.

Great advice. If you can't take the heat, add the cayenne to orange juice and it helps alot to make it more palitable.

Also, my mother is in a nursing home. She and all the other's in the nursing home have had a flu shot. He roomate Came down with something that sounds like this...chest congestions etc. and the roomate tested postive for the flu...even though she had the shot. Now my mother is in quaranteen. We cannot see her at all and she has to stay in her room until they are sure she is not going to get this too.

Completely agree with you.

And another thing to note. My five year old daughter got a total blood work up due to her GI problems. I just found out that all of her thyroid tests (T3, T4 etc.) are elevated. The doctor is so surprised she is having us put our child through the torture of another blood test to verify...And I am on the East Coast - the farthest away from Fukishima. I hope I don't begin to see this in other children.

I don't know about coughing but in Sept. they've been spraying IN like crazy!

I felt like shit, headaches, palpitations, arrythmia, you name it.

In EU I feel great.

Go figure....

I take a cayenne supplement, but I can see how I would need to take actual cayenne to clear sinuses. It funny.....I've been craving hot and sour soup, though. Funny how our bodies know what we need even when we don't! Going to give this a try, thanks!

Blowing my nose & coughing up sputum for the last 2 days. I feel like cr*p. Obama is responsible. I can feel it.

This too, I almost forgot!

Before I traveled my TSH (thyroid) was elevated.


I checked it here. Normal now.

Scary...

that stuff is great!

I took some Salvia Officinalis herb tablets from our local pharmacy and two times 200mg Ibuprofen, three times a day (or when the agony got unbearable) for the ear infection when it was as worst. It has mostly receded now though. Waited for three days, five hours each at the hospital. In queue with those pains and there were just so many sick people for the ENT specialist that I didn't get through at all. So I let my sickness run itself out.

Didn't take much except some Vitamin C and Multivitamin supplements. Kept eating a lot of bananas, since I had a sudden craving for them. I am afraid my eardrum might have been damaged by the infection though, the hearing is reduced at one ear along with some serious tinnitus.

The strange thing is that I am frequently around an elderly relative. Said relative should be really sick from me by now, but it seems they are immune to whatever it is that's going around here. Have to mention they are older then ninety years.
