Oh my gosh!!! I haven't been this sick in so long!! I was home for half the week last week and by the looks of it, they may send me home if I keep coughing so much!!!! talk about stressful!!! The cold has passed for the most part, but this cough, I cough so much that I almost throw up and my sides and chest hurt so bad.... I went to the dr a few days ago and it wasn't bronchitis or pneumonia at the time, but I think it may have progressed!! I slept all weekend too! I'm just worried if I miss too much time they might let me go! This is so my paranoia kicking in but I am worried about it. (Good old anxiety!!) I took some cough syrup but that's not even helping! I'm so paranoid about being canned that I cannot even concentrate on getting better cause I don't wanna be a pain in the butt.....
Argh, atill another 3 hrs to go... it's gonna be forever.......

I am so sorry you're sick. This is something that has been making the rounds & hit many of us on the board. The cough is awful. They say that this season is making allergies alot worse. That may be contributing to your congestion & problems getting rid of the cough. Drink plenty of fluids, grease your chest with medicated ointment, get extra rest, run a humidifier or a vaporizer if you have one. It takes awhile to get over. I would call the doctor again. You might need something else if the cough med isn't working. Please take care & try not to be anxious. If you're coughing so badly @ work, your employer surely knows that this is a real illness. Good luck! Get well soon. (((hugs))) jan
