... went on a business trip last Tuesday. By the time I landed my throat was killing me. The guy sitting beside me was popping Halls cough drops like they were pez candies.
By Thursday I had to go to the Urgent Care. Had missed several customer meetings. No fun being sick while traveling.
By this Monday, with no relief, made a second visit to the doctors, now at home. Sinus infection became bronchitis. Switched antibiotics and now one steroids as well.
Sorry I haven't been around. No energy. Down for the count...
Crud doesn't get worse every year, we get older every year. Sucks to get old, sucks to get sick, really sucks to be old and sick.

Try taking some purple daisy capsules (usually called Echinacea) for a couple of weeks. They are supposed to boost the immune system temporarily.

Sorry to hear this Jay, I guess flying doesn't help these days, I heard that since the airlines banned smoking the cabin air does not get changed as often. I don't know if that's true but being stuck next to infected passengers can't help.
I take daily zinc & vitamin C tablets plus medicinal Bourbon when necessary... Get well soon Jay.
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
During my drinking days whenever I had a cold, flu, or anything else, I would drink a half pint of Rock and Rye (Rock candy dissolved in Rye whiskey bottled with a lemon slice and a red cherry), take a couple aspirins and go to bed. I usually woke the next day feeling refreshed and disease free...

Each year it does seem to take more out of me to fight these things. A constant reminder of my youthful impatience (lost my spleen in a car accident decades ago, so I have a weakened immune system).

It sucks even more if we don't get older.............

Or on such a sugar high you didn't realize you were still sick.
