I used mucinex max over Christmas,then got 2 meds from Dr,they are doing the job .coughing some, sneezing, drainage,etc. They said 5-7 days. Irony, from my dancing I asked a widower to Christmas dinner &dance, she had it. My first date since my wife passed 3.5 yrs ago.

About 3 weeks ago my wife and I both came down with what they are calling the stomach flu. I spent most of a Sunday sitting on the throne with my head in a trash can. I lost seven pounds that day. The weird dreams were something else. I very seldom dream when I am well.

Still coughing. Keep a container at hand for vomiting nothing yet. Just persistent cough that I got med for. Lasting.

It's making the headlines the last week or so, a confluence of four different illnesses spreading this winter.

I had no interest in eating for about two weeks. I am still not back on real heavy food. Soups and sandwiches are all I want.

I got it Christmas night. Had a sinus headache for days, and a cough that was only a little productive, and fatigue. Still got a cough, but now feel up to 90%.
