HubCap: Please describe your symptoms
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 2/7/2007

One of the gifts my father gave me this past Christmas was the most vicious head cold I've had since I was old enough to tough it out and go to work anyway. I pride myself on the fact that I never get sick. Never.

But this one, which I got on my day off, thank you, knocked me out for almost a week. Two days at home, lying around trying to read books or watch a full movie didn't help. What helped was five consecutive nights of 11 hours of sleep or more. Incredible. Then the coughing started, of course, and the snot began draining everywhere.

Yes, Mom, I did get my flu shot this year. Unfortnately, whatever Dad gave me on my visit to Iowa was some sort of mutant virus that could probably bring the death of a civilization of people with unevolved immune systems. To the folks on my flight from Des Moines to Denver, I'm sorry.

Illness, it seems, is just a fact of life. Often times, the only cure is rest. Or time. Or complaining. Fortunately, we've got you covered at YourHub.com.

Cold and flu:
Kelsey is finally getting over a cold, and would like to discuss her usual treatment strategies with you.

Foodborne illness:
Like Bill says, don't ever eat something called " Seafood Dynamite." Insert indigestion joke here.

Who knows:
Jamie had a recent visit from the Vomit Fairy (she said that, not me).

Brendan, my husband is from Iowa and he is very sick indeed. Next time you visit I'll loan you my haz-mat suit.

Bill, I thought she had moved on since she hadn't posted a blog in over a month. Turns out she was sick and on vacation. I have to put her back up. Sorry for the inconvenience.
