Is this the virus that's going around where you are?
I got exposed to a five year old on Xmas Eve who had a deep cough.

I got sick and I'm still not totally up to par.

Symptoms: A deep cough that seems to come out of nowhere. Mild sinus drainage. At first I thought I had a secondary infection like bronchitis but antibiotics didn't help, so I stopped.

Biggest symptom is just fatigue.

1. That's exactly what I had...
It took about 3 weeks before I started feeling semi-normal again.

I hope you feel better soon.

2. Hmmmm...Sore throat turned into the cough that makes me sound like
the current Kathleen Turner. Feel like crap and cough my head off all night no matter how many meds I take! If the other poster is right I have another week and a half...

Feel better everyone!

3. I am into my 2nd week, 2nd day, so hopefully I will be fine in several
more days.
Non productive cough, mostly, but much runny nose and eyes. It seems like everybody everywhere is coughing.

4. Wish I had that one

No, what has been going around here is violent vomiting on the first day, uncontrollable diarrhea on the second day and a fear of eating for about two weeks.

I lost eight pounds and have kept it off. x(

5. Yep. I'm into the fifth week.
Antibiotics cured the secondary pneumonia, but the cough just hangs on, and on, and on ....
