RE: Still sick after a week and a half...
There's some nasty respiratory shit going around in the bluegrass. My kids brought it home. I was one coughing fit away from taking my son to the ER a couple of nights back. You feelin better DP?
(believe we have Misery, ahem, excuse me, Missouri, to thank on that count)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Governments and insurance companies need to commit to paying 10 or 50 times more than they already do if industry is going to put resources into fighting the threat of superbugs.

There's too much media panic about antibiotics.

Yes, they have been overused, but there are new antibiotics being developed.

Your point is well-taken - there is too much hysteria, and new antibiotics are being developed.

I noted one significant change at a doctor's visit - they've stopped writing RX for antibiotics on an initial diagnosis of bronchitis (which makes sense, as it's often viral).

I have it too but for some reason it's not a very intense cold. I usually overmedicate though and end up sleeping a lot as a result and I wake up feeling better. Sleep, vitamins, and minerals always help. I started taking a multivitamin the day I got ill as well. Maybe that helped?

Considering my profession I'm really reluctant to take medication unless I'm really sick.

Generally I'll lock myself away from everyone and just sleep as much as I can.

I usually load up on vitamin C and zinc during the day. Then at night I take sudafed and benedryl so I can breathe and get a solid nights sleep. I always get better quicker if I manage to sleep well at night.
