The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Red, sounds like you have what my cousin has.
He’s had since late November and is on his 3rd round of antibiotics.

The cough is deep and hard so you cannot breathe at times.
It hangs on like superglue.

Many around the nation have it...
Do not fuss around with it, don’t let your doctor lag on it...tackle it and slam it down.
Push to have it addressed.

I think I’ve got it too, I think I was able to kill it
It’s a friggin fighter.
but I recognized it fast and went after it like gangbusters.
It really helped that I already knew how to deal with a very heavy cough from my seasonal allergy.

Mucinex, Delsym, Albuterol seemed to do the trick
Mucinex MaxStr 12-hr took care of the mucus trigger
Delsym kept the cough repressed mostly
Abuterol allowed me to breathe when it spasmed.

Of course it’s different for everyone
And take care about med side-effects

I wish you the best, I hope you’re able to kick it soon
But at least you know, it’s not just you, sir

 

@redravin - it IS a bad season and we're not alone
This is all over the country...not just DC noted here.

A fierce flu season pummels Washington region

 

Went through the same thing, my friend. I am finally well after three and a half months. Hope you're on the mend soon.

 

I came down with a nasty knock me flat cold on Dec. 11th. Except for the cough, it was pretty much gone by the 14th and I went to KC for the Volleyball Final Four on the 15th. Cough is still hanging on, although it's better, even after a ten day course of Cefuroxime. Seems like any little thing irritates my throat. An this was while the kitchen remodeling was going on, so the workers were constantly raising dust.

 

Knee -> gout -> pain -> nausea
Cough (flu??) -> nausea (a side symptom...much less the additional drain of energy)
Anxiety (work) -> nausea (not bad...but the tech environ has been annoying and frustrating)
Anxiety (school) -> nausea (just my typical paper phobia...never tests)

So basically I've just spent the last two weeks trying to function and succeed despite always feeling like I want to throw-up and with waves of dizziness preventing me from focusing.
Like I'm constantly seasick.

Makes for a great date.

 

The kitchen and dining room remodeling project is, or was, finally coming to a conclusion. then, the island cabinets got delivered and the nitwit cabinet company ordered them with two big drawers under where the cook-top goes. Both the general contractor and the cabinet supplier knew that the cook-top would be a Jenn-Air with a downdraft exhaust fan. It's written right in the contract! They even had pictures of it. That won't work with drawers where the downdraft exhaust needs to go. AAAArrrrrgggg. And now, five more weeks to get the correct custom island cabinets made and delivered.

I am so tired of living with the makeshift kitchen in the basement laundry room. A double hot plate, microwave, and washing dishes in a laundry sink. I am really pissed!
