    What is it, real cherry juice I think, does wonders for gout, a jug of it at my grocery was about 17 bucks tho. Also cranberyy juice may help too.

    I started to feel better last night. I could breath again from the nose and the coughing and pain mostly stopped.
    This morning its all back. I didn't have work scheduled so I didn't have to call out, but I have already taken Thursday off. That job is to be rescheduled for Monday.

    You ever take psudofed? usually clears the congestion right up. There are some nasty colds going around this year.

    Don't push yourself. Give it time to heal. Keep the fluids and electrolytes up. Also a cup of hot tea with honey and lemon actually does give some relief.

    Nyquil + soup and crackers + vitamins + sleep

    Suck on that nyquil like your taking drunk.

    I have been able to eat just fine, though I have no taste or smell. I am slightly achy, but the cough is aweful.

    Today. I could feel some congestion so I coughed. DAMN!!!! That hurt more than it has ever before.
    I can feel a bit of pressure at the top of my lungs and every cough now hurts so much that I no longer want to.

    I thought I was going to work tomorrow but I'm guessing no.

    We opted out of shots this season, so far so good knock on wood.
    ~2000 mg vitamin C daily and no hangin' out in crowds.
    Get well soon.
