I think I'm sick:mad: Normally I am pretty hardy about not catching colds, flus, etc after all those years of teaching. But, I have a bit of a fever right now, and am freezing cold on this very warm day. I also took a long nap this afternoon, and now my throat hurts, too. I doubt I caught something at the vet's this morning as most bird illnesses can't be caught by people. It must have been the grocery store a few days ago.
 
Ugh, that snot good.....

Drink plenty of fluids and keep warm, hope you feel better soon.
 
I've been sick this past week, haven't been posting all that much. Tis the season.... hope you feel better soon!!!
 
I just got over a cold.I always Mucinex when I'm sick and Airborne when cold season starts to prevent it.Hope you get well soon!

I'm not even sure if I have any cold/flu stuff as it's been...years since I've had either. I might have Dayquil as I always kept that around to get me through work when I didn't feel well. I know I have decongestants; took some already along with some ibuprofen.

The birds want to come out and play with me though and I'm like, ugh. I just want to lay down.
 
I just finished reading an article in the Washington Sunday paper that is saying more people are getting the flu now that in winter because of delayed reaction of warm. temps. Hope you feel better Roxy. If it is the flu it can be a bear. Do you get the flu vaccine?

No one will give me the flu vaccine due to my allergy to chickens. I guess they use chickens somehow to culture it. So my doctor won't even do it in his office where he could stab me with Epi if things don't go well.

I know it's been a bad flu season with the overly warm winter. I hope that's not it, but it might be. Now my whole head and face feel like they want to explode.

The birds seem to know though. They were all particularly sweet and just cuddled up with me nicely.
 
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, colds can sure kick your butt. Hope you get to feeling better soon, in the mean time, it sounds like you have good company.
 
Aw thats not good. :( Being sick is the worst! I catch the flu and colds a lot from my younger daughter who goes to pre-school. She comes home sick often and shares her colds lol :( Wishing you a very fast recovery!
 
I had the flu shot and still got the flu. It was terrible! I could only imagine how it would have been without the shot. Lots of rest and fluids and soup! *hugs* feel better fast!

I agree on the vitamin C. Always used that as a teacher to help keep me from catching everything going around. When you see 180 kids a day in your classroom, and are exposed to all 1300 in the hall, you do what you can, lol!

Bad cough this morning. Probably flu rather than cold, ugh!
