You seem to have been sick for such a long time, Tom. Have you seen a doctor?

Yeah it totally blows. The first part of March, I got food poisoning. Then I had a sinus thing going on for the last half of March (Spring allergies). Then I picked up this cold from my sister, who got it from work. People at work went to the doctor and was diagnosed as a common cold and told to take over the counter meds. The lady at work had the cold/cough for 6 weeks. My sister was a week behind her, I'm a week behind my sister, and my nephew (who hardly ever gets sick, no allergies to speak of) is a week behind me. The lady at work is fully recovered. My sister is mostly recovered. I'm getting better. The main thing is the cough that is so persistent. My nephew is struggling at this point. I did consult with a doctor and they think a secondary sinus infection from the cold, so I'm struggling with a bad cold, sinus infection, and allergies, all at the same time. Ugh, actually though, I'm finally starting to feel better. It's just this nasty cough.

So based upon everyone else, I should be fully recovered from this in a week or two. Ugh. I am so over it and my nephew is too. I told my sister if they are going to get sick at work, we need some notice. I didn't do anything or go anywhere to get this. Except for possible covid at the start of 2020, I haven't been this sick in ages. I've spent several hundred dollars and I don't like it lol.

I'm taking antibiotics for the secondary infections and waiting for the cold to run its course. I've taken nose sprays - flonase, nasalcrom, and a regular saline solution. I've done an antihistamine, tylenol, halls cough drops, VapoCool Severe cough drops (works way better, even though regular halls have always done the trick. they don't do anything with this), fake hot toddies (green tea, honey, lemon), a whole bottle of Delsym which seems to do nothing. And been using Vick's VapoRub on chest and feet! LOL. Can't hurt right? The cough does seem to get better at times, but I'm so done with it.

I gotta try and mow today also, which doesn't help. It does help get my sinuses open up though, since it is getting warmer.

Thanks for the concern. I did two doctor consultations and doing all I know to do.
 
Oh, Tom. You poor thing! That sounds rough :grouphug:

Hot and humid. Tied record of 95F yesterday. I did limbs, sweated a ton, but drank probably 90oz of water and gatorade. The weather pattern has been hot, humid, and stormy. Under tornado watch last night and probably today also. Ugh. I'm weather fatigued at this point.

Thankfully, last night when the storms went severe they wrapped around us and went south. We dodged a bullet with that one thankfully. I looked it up and so far the 2024 tornado season is 100% above average. We're supposed to stay relatively dry today and tomorrow before more storms on Sunday and Monday. I'm going to try and get some mowing in and more limbs. I'm wore out though lol. At least, the cough is much better. I'm almost, but not quite back to normal. It's been 6 weeks.

Calculators just aren't working for me. Putting in my stats is says that about 2300 to maintain. So if I eat about 1800 a day that's a 500 calorie deficit so I "should" lose about 1 pound a week. Perfect. Except I'm gaining. and haven't really lost anything in months, and if I do It'll all come back overnight. Frustrating. Just like making money, and everything else in life. It's rigged. I don't know why 95% negative is "normal" while 5% positive you should feel guilt for. Something is way wrong.

Yeah. My sister had asked me how to lose weight and I told her and she did what I told her. She has lost over 60 pounds now. She is in her 220s. But when I do the same things I told her, I'm just not losing at all.
