3 days until vacation, and I get a cold |
|
or maybe it's just bad allergies, but either way I'm feeling pretty bad. I have tons of laundry to do, half of my packing, and right now I just feel like resting.

Just now I found out (via DU) that the place I live is under high alert for possible terrorist activity... this should make a fun airport visit! Not to mention that if there really is danger, I have close friends here to worry about.

8. no, see my other post...at least call now and talk to the nurse. If you let |
|
yourself get worse you will really feel yucky by then. If you are flying decongestants for at least 24 hours prior to flight will help immensely but doctor's advice will be helpful.
especially if your colds have a pattern and tend to drop into your chest, like mine always do

7. OK call the doc at least, tell them you are going to be flying |
|
get a Neti pot and use it take antihistamines..like Claritin or similar and get some real Sudafed for the flight. I had the Cold That Would Not End ..for 2 1/2 weeks before I was back up to 100% but I got a bronchitis like infection after the cold part.
If you are not aching and don't have fever, it may very well be only allergies.
Good luck.

9. One of the advantages of where I live is that I can go |
|
down the street to the doctor when I need to. I've been taking decongestants and panadol with little success... but it could just be allergies. I need energy now to get everything done!
Thanks for the good luck wishes.

10. I tore three ligaments and a tendon in my ankle last month. |
|
And was on bed rest for 2 weeks instead of going to Europe.
I win.

13. Thank you. I hope your ankle is better |

I sprained my foot last Fall, and it took ages before I could walk properly again.
