Flu - then what?

I wonder how long it will take the glands in my neck to quit hurting and go down?

I can offer you no help, but i wish you weren't sick, and hope that you recover soon.

Thank you Set. It's been a sucky couple of weeks.

I don't any magic treatment, but mr. Glitterbag had a sore throat and aches & pains last Sunday, he got worse over the next three days. I started to feel crappy on Thursday, called the doc, she said I probably have an upper respiratory virus, seems it's going around in our area. If I don't feel better Monday, I'll call her again and see if she can check me out. Both of us still feel miserable, and have been doing marathon naps, drinking lots of fluids and waiting to feel better.

I hope you feel better soon. It sounds like you are doing what everyone suggests. I hate going to the dr. Avoid it as much as possible....but if the sore throat thingy doesn't go away soon I might have to. No fever for over a week. So this is good.

Get well soon glitterbag.

Yikes, lingering swollen glands and sore throat plus fatigue? Nobody really looks forward to going to the doctor, but if these symptoms continue for 3 weeks or more, get tested for mononucleosis. I realize that sounds unlikely, but I was diagnosed when I was 43. If I had taken better care of myself, it wouldn't have lasted as long. However, the last few years it seems that these colds/sinus/sore throat ailments last weeks not just one week. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you

eat a lot of garlic and honey

Garlic and honey eh?

That sounds delicious! Maybe I can throw that in with my chicken or something....

Honey Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup perhaps.

Once every 5 years sounds right.

I'm better. Pretty much all better. I still have a cough but we are in the midst of Spring pollen and fluctuating temps and that always messes with my sinuses. Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions.

I'm glad to hear the good news Miss Mi.

Thank you Set. You sweetie pie, you.
