Oh no, janie. I am so sorry! I'm so glad it has so far bypassed me... I hope you get rid of it SOON.
Thank you Kevin. I'd love to be rid of this now. I was up all night last night coughing. Even Nyquil didnt help. Jon's Dad just took Jon to get me some more cough syrup, cough drops and some popcicles. Symptoms get so much worse at night. It is horrible.
My sis's five year old missed 4 days of school last week and just headed back to school this morning. She still has a cough but the doctor said she could go back.
They came by here last Mon and Evelyn had come home from school with it. Sure enough the next morning I had a scratching throat and slight cough for 3-4 days and over the weekend it got mean. When they guy came last Thur and fixed out tub he used spray fiberglass which killed my allergies and opened me up that much more to this. The smell was horrible for three days. These bathrooms have no windows.
So much of the over the counter meds have changed their formulas to get back out onto the shelf. They dont seem to work as well as they did before.

For two days I hear Jon on the phone telling everyone he is not gonna get the flu. He says its "girl" flu cause everyone he knows who has it is female and hes not gonna get it. I told him saying stuff like that he would have it within days.
Sure enough ...Jon starts showing symptoms of having what I did. So I take him to the doctor. He then tells the doc that he got into a lot of dust and what he has is an allergy thing..not a cold. So the doc listens to his chest and since he just started showing signs of being sick his chest sounds clear of course. Going on what Jon says the doc gives him a allergy shot and some prescription allergy pills. No antibiotics or cough syrup. Sooo..for the past four days my husband has done nothing but cough so much he is sore. Neither of us are sleeping. When I was doing that I got up and slept on the couch cause I didnt want to cause us both to loose sleep. I had a bottle of antibiotics my older sis gave me which I took for mine. I tried to tell him mine also started in my head but moved into my chest. I wanted to choke him when he was at the doctors and of course the doctor ignored anything I had to say on it. The guy has been my doctor for longer than Jon but they are lodge brothers and act goofy now. Jon was able to sleep some today but he was snoring so much because of the congestion I could not sleep.
His Mom and Dad are all you better watch him and not let that get into his chest. I took him to the freakin doctor for all the good it did him. What more do they want me to do. I do keep asking him how he is getting along with that "girl" flu. I have had that same cold for two weeks today and still have a lingering cough from it. It has been a long sleepless month :mad:

A-w-w-w-w Janie I wish you weren't having such a rough time of it! Poor Jon, he sounds so MACHO, and just afraid to admit he is really sick! I wish you both would hurry along and get better already!
God Speed to ya' both, Cathy

Thanks Hon.
I still have a bit of the cough and stuffy nose. Jon's still pretty sick.
I caught him listening to a book today and took a 2 hour nap in the bed. I tried to sleep in the bed last night and he was snoring so lound I gave up and got on the couch at 4am. I had a hard time getting comfortable on the couch for some reason and only got a couple hours sleep there before Jon got up. It has not been my month lol.
Now the magnolia trees they have on each corner of this building are budding and that always really bothers both of our allergies. Plus dogwoods are blooming and that is one of Jon's worst allergies. I opened all the windows and vacumed in here and let the place air out for about an hour today. I sprayed everything down with antibacterial spray.
