Is it just us?

For weeks I've had a cough with some congestion, but my nasal passages don't plug. I have heard of a cold going around, but I haven't compared notes with the people suffering from that. I'd say my condition isn't like a traditional common cold.

I hope everybody's feeling better soon.

I didn't get the flu shot although my place of work made it mandatory. I didn't have the time to go to the clinic and deal with auditors at the same time. I was sick for an entire week after that but I don't think it was a flu.

When I was a kid, my father insisted everyone in the family get flu shots every year.  But since I've grown up, I haven't gotten the shot.  Luckily, I haven't had the flu in years (knock on wood), because when I get it, it puts me down for two weeks solid!  I try to stay healthy and take megadoses of vitamin C to keep my immune system running well, but I still get the occasional clogged ears/congestion/runny nose type of symptoms.  Usually, a dose of Benedryl and some hot tea make me feel better.
