Title: How much snot can the body produce? Or...
Post by: Morgbug on July 30, 2004, 11:33 AM
Summer colds.  

They suck, seriously.  I've had one for about two weeks now.  The Mrs. has it as well, but the kid thankfully has avoided it.  

It started like any other cold, scratchy throat, achy ears.  Then the runny nose came with itching.  Followed up by being plugged right up, hence the title of the thread.  It started getting better, but much like the Mrs.' cold, it then turned for the worse after about 8 days.  Now it's green and yellow everywhere.  I have boxes of kleenex all over the place and everyone on the phone is asking are you sick?  Duh.  

So, anyone else suffering with me?  Trade with me, I'll throw in a free virus ::)

I sometimes get allergy attacks that will last about a day.  I'm often baffled by how many times I can blow my nose and still get a solid snot rocket.

Ohh, a summer cold. Lucky you.  :P

Sherry has a cold too & man is she sick, sore throat & coughing, hardly talk  ;D  snot all over. Green & yellow, yum. (http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/images/smilies/nose%20pick.gif)  Sounds like it's working its way through.  :-\

I had my share of colds during the winter & I don't want this one!

Fear not, little buddy, 3:00 is still on.  

Cough medicine is a hell of a good idea.  I've got a pile of stuff to send you, but can't remember, aside from the medicine, what I'm supposed to send you.

OK, not a summer cold but I have been sick for the past 2 days with a flu/cold again. Sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, sweating (hot/cold). Blah!

I have never been sick so many times over the pass few months.  (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/muede/d012.gif)

Oh my god. I just start a new job and I'm sick. I was hopped up on cough drops, all day, and I could tell I was running with little fuel, less than usual. Terrible it is. It's the kind of cold where you blow and blow, and you only get a little snot, and your nose stays plugged. Oh and I hate the sore throat! :'(

Work tommorow on Easter too...

Ughh...

Working in the kitchen at a resturant, but APARENTLY I am the owners personal mover. She's moving out of her house and wont have a place till september so she's putting all her things in the basement. Rather, I'm putting it in the basement.

She's kind of a hottie though.

Folks, I do belive I have found the cure for the common cold...well, a temporaty cure, but **** it works:


Ready?


Ok:

Red Bull

I downed 2 cans (well, one was a YJ Stinger) today over a 6 hour period ot time, and I cleared right up, became aware again, had no congestion, and I got alot of work done (side effect of the hype ****), plus my throat was no longer sore because it didnt have icky snotty **** dripping on it. It was wonderful.

I am just now coming down from my red bull induced cold cure.

*sighs and goes to find bag of cough drops* :-\

Ah man this sucks, last Wednesday my throat started getting sore. I knew I was going to get sick. I went to work that night but I only lasted half the shift. My head just hurts and blowing my nose is killing me again. Food has no taste.

dude. . you and me both.  My throat started hurting from an almost instant onslaught of drainage on Tuesday night.  Wednesday I was miserable.  Thursday, took a half day off.  Went in late on Friday.  Still feel like poop.

Have an opportunity to make a quickie backpacking trip tonight, and I just don't have it in me.  Yesterday I felt like I was growing an extra eyeball behind my right eye.   

I've given up on tissue. . .it takes a bounty paper towel for me to blow my nose without sliming my hands.  And after I blow, I listen to my sinuses squeaking and popping open and shut in my skull.  Fantastic.  Feel like I've had cotton in my ears all day.

Earlier today my nose was like a waterfall, it just would not stop. I started coughing during the day and thought it was a sign of my cold breaking through. Tonight I was getting ready for work had to blow my nose, well after 20 mins of both my nostrils bleeding I called in sick. This sucks!  >:(

I think I went through a quart of snot this morning.  Very gross stuff.  I took two of the Claritin pills though and am feeling better... I have a chronic sinus infection and have to use that Vicks Sinex stuff 2-3 times a day or my sinus membranes swell up and I can't breath.  Then, sometimes I have a water faucet for a nose and feel like I am dying.  I need to go to a doctor!

Been a while since I posted in here, so that's good.  But the cold started up last night with the scratchy, bad tasting roof of the mouth thing and a plugged nostril. 

It's moved on to a slightly less annoying stage now, but we're headed towards full plug up by morning I'd guess.  Been eating chips and salsa just so I can taste something.  But I'm already at the point where I can chug Coke, so it won't be long before I can't taste a damn thing. 

I think I know better, but I think I'll try to cure it with booze.

Thanks Brent.  Thanks a lot.  I'm not sure how you did it, but I've got a cold too, full blown.  Went to bed at 8pm last night, slept until 8am this morning.  The extra sleep didn't seem to do me any good though since I'm still hating life - sore throat, congested head and chest, cough, a bloody sore back and complete lack of energy.  And to top it all off, I'm stuck at work.

Bah, and here I was hoping to do some renovating this weekend, but I can barely lift the paint brush.   :'(

If it's any consolation, I'm in full blown massive snot mode.  Went out with a buddy last night and tried to drink it away.  Nope, didn't work.  Went to bed at 2, took a Contac and woke up at 11. 

Scratchy throat, nasty cough, going to buy more kleenex now.

Well, it's life back to normal now.  I've just about recoved from my pneumonia and it's back to work this afternoon after missing over a week of work (but since I'm part-time, I only actually missed 4 days, so I should be able to get those hours back).

I certainly won't miss having that damn IV line hanging out of my hand.

I'm going through my first cold in a long time, almost two years I think.  Sucks.  Started getting the scratchy throat and sinus congestion Tuesday morning, before the drive back to Mass from Jersey.  The sore throat lasted until yesterday and then the chest congestion set in.  It isn't to the point where a cough helps and lots of green, yellow and brown **** comes flying out, so every cough hurts.    I'd expect the coughing of mucus soon, especially after I started downing Robitussin like candy.  I'm being semi productive at work, but I generally feel like ****.

Worst part is trying to stay away from my son.  He doesn't need a cold this early in life.

That's the hardest part :(   Babies are so pitiful when their little noses are stuffed up.  Just wait until he gets older.  Kids seem to produce 10x the snot adults do -- and they aren't too selective about where they wipe it either -- especially little boys........ :P

Paper towel... ouch! Good thing at work we have a supply of **** tickets in the warehouse.

I had a rough sleep, no matter what side I slept on 1 nostril would plug up and drip. I had to roll kleenex and plug it up. Sherry gave me a new box of kleenex which I had bedside and I used it all up.

My taste buds are gone and I can't smell anything.  :-\

I took the day off work to get some rest.

Normally I would go for the TP when kleenex wasn't available, but I'm at work, the bathrooms are public, and I work with a bunch of pigs...so, nothing in that bathroom is going anywhere near my face.

Sweet frickin' relief...I finally have kleenex. Those paper towels were harsh!
However, the cold's gone from annoying to downright painful. Sinuses are all wacky and my brain feels swollen.

And to top it all off, the 2-year old had a 101 fever last night, so now she's got something. However, she sleeps like a rock, so not a peep from her all last night, though the 10-month old decided she wanted to "play" at 2 am. Sure I have a miserable cold and all, but I still pity my poor wife home with a sick 2-year old and a sleep-deprived 10-month old.

Ah, just in time for the weekend.  :P

Been kinda a rough week for me with the flu, early mornings & late evenings are just awful, during the rest of the day I'm fine. Runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat... blah! 

Now I seem to be on a coughing fit, my eyes water up fast & it almost feels like I'm going to break a rib.  :-\

Tell ya what.  Last time I was sick, I didn't even bother posting.  With all the stress between work and moving and stuff I figured no big, it'll be gone quick and it's not overly unexpected. 

That cold lasted three friggin' weeks.

Then I got a cold sore.  Lasted 10 days.

I was healthy for about two days before I picked up this latest doozy.  In addition to the monstrous amount of phlegm I have a cough that's darn near killing me.  Weirdest part is it started in my chest and is working it's way up :o  My chest is killing me and I can barely breathe.  Blech.

Too top all that off, my wife neglected to fix the slow leak in her tire and the other morning I had to change the flat.  Worse, I wasn't careful (trying to rush first thing in the am) and I wrenched my back, so I'm wandering around the house horking up loogies, coughing up a storm and creaking like a 70 year old man, all hunched over and in pain. 

Ok, I'm done whining.

I have been fighting a cold/flu since the 1st week of Jan, it comes & goes with a runny nose/watery eyes & coughing. Today I was feeling very light like I did not have enough sleep, went through hot spells at work from time to time & before I took off early I started getting cold chills & I still shake. My hands are very cold. Gotta get rid of this.  :-\

Yeah, change of life would be better.  ;D

Before bed last night, I soaked in the tub with very hot water & I was still shaking. A very rough sleep during the night, the hacking & coughing got the best of me & I am still light headed plus my taste buds are gone.  :-\

I took the day off work, slept most of the day like what 18 hrs since nappy last night.  :-\  Will see how it goes tomorrow.

Well I guess it's that time of year to get a cold, mine started on Thursday night with a bit of a runny nose & coughing. Yesterday I went home early from work & crashed for a few hours. I stayed up watching TV & went through 2 boxes of Kleenex, woofed down some chicken soup, took some meds & had a nice hot Neo Citron before bed.

Well that was a rough night of sleep, damn nose would not stop running, tried to sleep with some Kleenex shoved up one nostel, went through one hell of a coughing fit which I thought I was going to bust some ribs & my throat... blah!

I gotta get rid of this cold by next weekend as I have a very important wedding to attend & I just can't miss.  :-\

Not exactly a cold, but it's "Cedar Fever" season here in Central Texas and over the last few years I've grown more and more allergic to the cedar even though I've lived here my whole life. It's been a small runny nose the past few days but today I woke up with a clogged nose and clogged ears. On top of that the nose is still runny, I bet I've blown at least a gallon of snot out today alone.

Not producing any snot yet, but have the good, old fashioned URI.  Including, but not limited to, a sinus infection, ear infection(s), sore throat and bronchitis.  Plays hell with the asthma.

I've been fighting bronchitis which has turned into pneumonia over the weekend.  My four year old woke up this morning and came into our bed to show us that she "grew a bunch of nipples".  Upon further inspection we realized that she has the chicken pox.   :(  Now we can be miserable together.

Heheh... nipples. Misery does love company I suppose.

Not quite as bad as pneumonia, but I had a nasty cold for the last few days. This week and next are finals at school, and nearly everyone in my classes was sniffling their heads off... weird that there were so many sick-ish people. Must be the comeback of the swine flu!

I didn't think I'd been sick in a while, so I dredged this puppy to find out when the last time I felt it worthy of mentioning. 

Seriously regretting not getting vaccinated for the flu cuz man does this suck.  I don't even remember the last time I woke up wracked in pain from aching joints and whatever.  Fever cranked up to nearly 104.  Blech, this sucks ass.  Shivers, snot, sore nose, coughing, sneezing.  Frickin' medication commercial right now.

My doc's told me older people are far more susceptible to this illness and should really make every effort possible to protect themselves physically as they reach those more "mature" years, and that absolutely includes getting flu shots.  So I dragged my parents in for their shots last month just to play it safe.  I hate needles, and am young and healthy though, so I didn't sweat it.  How old are you?

That's the kind of vague answer I'd get from my parents, so I'm guessing you're getting up there in years, in which case you've got no one to blame but yourself for not getting your shot.  Or perhaps your wife, who should know better than to trust you to know better...

So I had a cold, which turned to bronchitis, which turned to a mild pneumonia, and somehow a sinus infection on top of it too which is lingering.  I've got the rest under control but now the sinus infection won't go away.  Not the worst I've had, but not the best either.

I blew a rocket in the shower yesterday morning, and it was neon friggin' orange.  And huge.  I scared myself.

I can't speak for all bodies, but mine's producing stuff I didn't think I was even capable of.  I'm grossed out and fascinated.

Mmm, haven't had one like this for a while.

Started a week ago, feeling tired, weak, loss of appetite. 
Muscle and joint aches set in the next day.
Third day massive headache and coughing like crazy.  Chest felt like there was a bolder on it and woozy the whole time.
Like an idiot I went to work on the fourth day - headaches, coughing fits, sneezing, snot out the ying-yang.
Stayed home, still coughing, ugly ass-**** coming out of my lungs.  ******* gross. 
Day six I stop coughing, thinking I've turned the corner.  Still headache and muscle soreness, sneezing and nose running to beat the band.  But at least the coughing stopped.
Stop. too soon, coughing is back with a vengeance.  I can feel stuff moving up from my lungs to, yum, my throat. 
Day eight, still headaches, still frickin' coughing, still producing more snot than a body has a right too.  Ugg.  But finally slept at night.
What will tomorrow bring...
