Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick Sorry man, that sucks. I have been dodging anyone that coughs, sneezes, or looks funny. My big HIM is Sat. and I don't want to be sidelined. FYI, the last time I was sick, I took a LOT of Zicam, and it really helped me get through it. Jump on it early if you can.... Rest and LOTS of water/fluid. You know, all the typical stuff. Get better |

I dont remember beig by anyone sick, but at work yesterday it was like all of a sudden BOOM sore throat. It literally came on in an instant, I was just hoping it wold go away overnight... not so lucky I guess. Good luck on that HIM! Aim for that qualifying time! |

Veteran 399 | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick I think you basically just described how the flu hit me recently (and a couple other people I know). Just a mild scratchy throat one day and then the very next day, a full on RAGING fever, nausea, cough, aches, etc, etc. Must be one of the strains this year  Get well. |

Uh oh, that's how my flu thing started out. Sore throat and congestion, followed by head-ache, and then fever (topped out at 102), body aches, chills, sweats for 3 days. Then it all filtered into my chest, and though I'm not coughing up much junk anymore, I'm still gunky. Get some rest ASAP and start in on the Zicam or zync drops or whatever - get LOTS of fluids in you too. |

I REALLY hope this is just a sore throat kinda thing. Noone around me has been sick, so I would be surprised if it was FLU, but never know. |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick I was laid up in bed for a few days, barely ate and lost 8 pounds during the week before my key race for the year this year ...... needless to say I didn't race the whole thing and blew 4 months of training. It never fails that before big races one of my kids brings something home and we all get sick. What sucks is that the two older ones are just getting over another cold and Boston is a week away, which means I might get sick again!! |

It never fails that before big races one of my kids brings something home and we all get sick. What sucks is that the two older ones are just getting over another cold and Boston is a week away, which means I might get sick again!! No kids.. just a cat. Maybe I have Feline Distemper? That really sucks though. This race sunday is just a local Duathlon, $25... and I am training through it. While I plan to race it, I wont be dissapointed if my time isnt quite as good as I would like. I will be pissed if I am so sick I cant do it at all though. Anyway, can you just lock your kids in the basement or something for a week? I am pretty sure they will understand your training goals  Best of luck in Boston man! Im thinking of shooting for a qualifying time in Chicago this year. |

Elite 3072 san francisco | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick BellinghamSpence - 2008-04-11 12:11 PM Gargle with warm salt water for the sore throat X2 this works for me 99% of the time, except for early March, when out of the blue I got the flu and it knocked me out for 5 days. I had not been sick in 5 years before that so I do think that crazy flu is some unusual strain. I was not around any sickies at all prior to that. lots of water/fluids....good luck to you! |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick If it's flu, it's viral and antibiotics won't do a thing. Glad to hear it's not getting worse though. |

Master 2202 St. Louis | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick It doesnt feel like flu... im not achy, and no nausea at all. For example, I scarfed down a Qdoba burrito for lunch Probably some strep like thing... The good news is I had today as a planned day off of training No loss there! |

Veteran 265 Grayson, Ga. | Subject: RE: Damn... I think I am sick You need to drink an entire half gallon on Tropicana OJ. Water, drink all you can hold, you need to flush it out. I also like to use nose spray, you know the salt water type, this will kill any bugs in your nose and help your passages clear. When your not drinking on in the rest room sleep. If you can do this, you'll be fine in no time. Good luck, -Brian |
