    of being sick and fucking tired.

    I have some kind of chest cold/virus/infection thing going on that I am beyond fed up about. Worst thing is it's the second time this year I've had the same thing.

    First time I had it was this winter when I attributed it to major work/job searching stress and being around sick kids/co-workers. I was out several days took a long time to get over it, thought maybe it was pneumonia but the doc said no.

    Since then I've lost the job stress, have started eating much better, lost 10-15 pounds and nobody around me has been sick. But yet I've gotten the same damn thing again.

    Started as congestion/runny nose on Tuesday but by late July 4th I felt like crap - coughing, headaches, deep chest congestion, felt worn out. Went to the doc on Thursday, got meds and skipped work. Worked half day on Friday but came home early because I was worn out. Since then I've done nothing but rest.

    Today I picked up the house for 20 minutes and felt afterwards like I had chopped wood all day. I still have the cough at night and sound and breathe like a 3 pack a day smoker with emphysema. After being a lazy bum for four days I should be much better but I'm not really. It's not like the flu - no fever, no body aches, no sore throat. Just the tiredness and chest congestion that won't go away.

    The fact I've been this way twice in the last six months is the main thing I'm pissed off over.

    Anybody else had something like this or heard of it going around?

    Sounds like you need to go to the doc and get a kick-ass tuff antibiotic. From what you wrote, it sounds like you're just worn down and can't kick it on your own.

    I know somebody who had similar symptoms, and they were suffering from a mold allergy. Hope it's not that.
