Flu Room

[Red Princess]

tell us all about your symptoms, seems like there are several of us who are suffering various illnesses. Cure Suggestions?
Here, i'll go first, my nose is all stuffy and irritated, my throat is sore and i sneeze. I usually take alka seltzer plus, tastes pretty bad but works pretty good
now you:

[RuneT]

I am hot and dizzy. I look like shit.
My shoulder got dislocated this weekend but it's recovering well i think.

Edit to add: I growl at people, like a wounded cat.

[Red Princess]

i recommend the hot tub for those symptoms

[RuneT]

GROOOOWL!

[Red Princess]

you make me hot when you do that

[RuneT]

Mrrrrrrrr! I'm sorry to growl at you. purrrrrr purrrr.
My neck is stiff too :(
Am I a biologial weapon?

[Red Princess]

growl if that's what you want , i am not scared. sorry about your shoulder, how exactly did you hurt it? oh wait maybe i don't want to know

[rmr]

Sorry you both are sick!!

PS I prefer a man that growls rather than purrs. purring just doesn't seem right to me.

[dinzdale]

Woof !

[RuneT]

I'm sorry, It was a one off purrr. This shit is getting to my brain.


GROOOWL!

[Red Princess]

woof? you have a virus that has changed you into a dog? what are you licking? stop that, how many times do we hve to tell you not to do that while people are looking?

[rmr]

Woof, Woof!!

[dinzdale]

Now you're talking ..... BOWOWOW

[RuneT]

Who let the dogs out, who.... who, who who whoooo let the dogs out!

[dinzdale]

Release the Hounds ! ! !

[rmr]

Is someone feeling a bit "randy" today???

[RuneT]

today? uhhhm JOJ!

[noxxville]

I'm cranky, silly, and hungry. Classic post-hibernation symptoms.

[RuneT]

Experiment:

Hey nox, how would you react if someone just now said something like "Go and wash the windows, now!"

:D

[Eiggam]

Here are my symptoms....
Head feels like it is ready to explode
Ears are so full and achy I can barely hear
My eyes are red and puffy and watery
I have sneezed 26 times in the past 2 1/2 hours
I have used an entire box of kleenex in the past 2 1/2 hours

[Red Princess]

Eiggam. do you like those kleenex with the lotion in them? they are nice on a sore nose

[Eiggam]

Yes... I LOVE those kleenex. However, I am still at work and have used up the last of the "good kind", so I am reduced to using bathroom hand towel! Thank God for Matt (my boyfriend)! He is going out to get me some supplies and medication, then I am going home for the day!

BTW... have you tried the kleenex with Menthol? It is like a cough drop in your nose, really clears things up!

[noxxville]

I'd pull their spine out and show it to them, then do a little happy elf dance while eating a cupcake.

[Red Princess]

noxx, ?. i will have to try those menthol kleenex, sounds wonderful

[Eiggam]

The only problem is that there are not very many in the box... however, they are strong and work well, so you shouldn't need as many.... Also, they have a nice lotiony feeling, so your nose shouldn't get too red!

I hate to be sick! I feel so freaking helpless. I called the doctors office first thing this morning at 8:00 and still haven't heard back!

I think I will just go home and die! (if only it were that easy):)

[noxxville]

Hey Rune just had to try the experiment

[Red Princess]

i hate being sick too, it is so inconvenient, i have to work anyway and all i want to do is go home and snuggle in my nice warm flannel sheets with my cats.
Noxx- you dancing naked? that might make me feel better

[Eiggam]

Thank you Dr Peg!
Luckily, I have a lifetime supply of Claritin Redi-tabs and others from when I was office manager at a Pediatric office.....

[Red Princess]

thank you dr peg, it is on it's way out actually, i am just whining, i must have had a gallon of water yesterday, still felt dry. chloraseptic ewwww, yeah it works, but the taste!

[Frieda]

no! no! no methol kleenex when you're nose's already sore! NO!

i've been sneezing all day myself. blegh

[noxxville]

All right then.....dancing Naked..


*coworkers very afraid*

[Zyle]

the past 2 days i was puking like a leaky firehose. Lots of pressure but kinda uncontrollable spray coming from everywhere. couldn't eat or drink anything, not even tiny sips of water. Really unpleasant. (Sorry to be a lil graphic there.)

I'm fine now though, it seems to have passed...

[Frieda]

good to hear zyle! :) glad you're ok again!

[lapietra]

my head hurts :(
and I keep sneezing
bleh

[Red Princess]

god bless dancing naked men

[noxxville]

Man, do I hear that a lot.

[Red Princess]

indeed

[Red Princess]

Symptom Update: this just in, i am feeling much better, am able to breathe with out all the chemistry this evening.

[Frieda]

crap. just sneezed 10 times in a row. argh.

[Red Princess]

even better today, almost all congestion is gone, will be ready for all kinds of interesting activities on the weekend

[Frieda]

ack. weekend. i have to feel better in the weekend.. i hate being sick in weekends!

[chuckie egg]

I can see the resemblance :D

[RuneT]

I kicked the flus ass! I feel much better. All whats left is a achy shoulder.

[chuckie egg]

Would you like a nice massage?

[Frieda]

well i would.. but this was probably just meant for rune, wasn't it? :)

how on earth did you manage to post 3 times the same post in a row? there's still the 30-sec limit right?

[chuckie egg]

I guess I waited 30 seconds haha.

You can have a massage if you like, I've been told I do good ones. And Rune clearly isnt interested... oh well :rolleyes:

[RuneT]

Oh absolutely :). Mind the shoulder though. It's supposed to rest.

I am glad to see that you are feeling better, RP.
Lala, have you got it as well?

[chuckie egg]

You were nearly too late! :eek:

[Frieda]

teeheehee.. i'll wait my turn! :D

[chuckie egg]

haha, I'll do you with one hand and Rune with the other!

After all only one of his shoulders is sore!

[Frieda]

ooohh lovely! :p

[Eiggam]

Well, the doctor prescribed Zithromax (an antibiotic) and over the counter decongetant. I have done virtually nothing but sleep for the past two days. Am feeling better today, as the sneezing/wheezing as improved... however, eyes are still watery and nose and ears still hurt. So... I stayed home today too! Probably feel like actually taking a shower and doing some laundry, but still going to take it easy...

[Red Princess]

friday flu update, nothing left of the cold but a little residual sniffle. i am SO ready for the weekend. got a date for saturday night, a speaking engagement saturday morning, shopping later today, can i get soemone to come do this work for me so i can leave now?

[chuckie egg]

Monday morning, and now I have a runny nose :(

I think I must have spent too much time in here on Friday!

[Frieda]

my left nostril is blocked atm.

oh i love all these useless flu details

[Red Princess]

almost back to 100%, still a little congestion but not enough to slow me down.
