Cough Max!!

I make sure to get my flu shot early. But for the last two years, it still seems that January is a permanently scheduled week of Cough Max. This has to be the toughest ab workout I have ever done. This is day five and my voice sounds like a rough running V-8. I have lost 5 pounds (most likely dehydration). I do have doms (chills and aches). My fever broke Saturday and I finally feel like I can eat something. But the coughing continues. My abs are so sore!!

I'm so sorry you're experiencing the 24 hour ab workout known as Cough Max.

Take care of youself , try to drink plenty of fluids and rest.

Hi Sherri

Sorry to hear you're suffering. My husbands diabetic and he's had bronchitus for the last two weeks. Constant coughing night and day. Also I've got a cold that I can't get rid of. I hope you feel better soon and the coughing stops.

Really there is no harder 'workout' than Cough Max.

Thanks everyone. I'm wondering if getting the flu shot is even worth it, since I get the flu anyway. Would it worse without it? I don't know. This is day 5...cough.

Feel better Sherri.

I hate to say that I'm on Day 17 of Cough Max. I know that is one of the biggest complaints the doctors in my area are seeing. Cold with cough.

Week #3 of Cough Max for me. However, after a week of antibiotics, Mucinex and two inhalers, today I feel like the gerbil in my lungs has died! I win! I've been eating yogurt like crazy & taking probiotics hoping to stave off any secondary yeast infections! Half marathon in less than a month! Fingers crossed!

Yes, I did get a flu shot & have done so every year since I lost a month to the flu. I've also had the pneumonia shot. I think this was one nasty virus that the current flu shot just couldn't handle!

Get well everyone!

Kay, I'm on a Symbicort Inhaler, some nasal spray called Fluticasone Propionate and a Cough Medicine in pill form called Benzonatate. I also supplement with Mucinex and Grape flavored Delsym. My doctor didn't even bother with antibiotics for me since she thinks mine is viral. UGH!! I've had the flu shot too per my doctor's orders after I got so sick last year and was in the hospital for 3 days.

Renee, I definitely have bouts of Pee Max too. thank God for Kotex Max!

Sherri, Sorry.
