Stopdog must keep the smoker a reasonable distance from the nursing home. I will impose licensing guidelines so you all have a place to live.

Couch Workout Club day 13

Walked around the park to get my steps in.

I’m fighting a little bug. Took some Mucinex DM last night which should have knocked me out but it did the opposite. I couldn’t slow down and fall asleep last night to save my life and now I’m in some sort of drowsy nausiated stupor this AM. It wasn’t a good weekend to catch a bug because I have to be in work by 6am both Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully tonight I sleep.

I'm sorry Jersey, that sucks.

I hope you can get some rest.

Thank you Lost. Maybe some couch folks have a quick remedy.

Ugh, sorry you're sick and didn't get sleep. Maybe something in the Mucinex had the opposite effect on you? I know Benadryl can do that for some people. Hope you're able to sleep tonight and feel better soon!

Thanks LT. I should have known better. Benadryl and NyQuil do that so I’m not surprised it happened with the Musinex. I thought it had a different ingredient than the others.

1. good lord

2. about colds - I have recently been with 7 people who originally thought it was just summer colds (I went camping and 4 tested and since I got back - my partner has tested positive and 2 other unrelated people) who thought they had colds but it was covid - if that matters to you.

So i wonder if for the past 100 years, whenever we got a cold, it was really the Spanish flu lingering on?

The influenca (flu) virus has adapted for the last 100 plus years, if you get the flu today, you get a genetic variation of the spanish flu. However, different viruses have different impacts on your body. A cold is not like a flu is not like pneumonia and so on.

Edit: covid is scary because it is like SARS, it has lots of nasty side effects.

I feel like people have wiped covid from their mind somewhat. I get it, but if you are ill with it, there is a non-diminishing chance of it going to be a bad illness burdening you for life. Kind of weird to me how society treats it.

Thanks CNS!

But you are the antidote for all!

Now i want to learn more.

DUDES!!! I JUST SAW THIS ON MEDPAGETODAY.COM

Fauci: It is entirely conceivable that what we call the common cold coronaviruses now, eons ago came out in a pandemic form and did a lot more damage than the seasonal kind of common cold coronaviruses did.

Dont doubt the luna.

ETA - ok, way prehistoric pandemic are current colds, is what he said.

So isnt it interestjng that current dinosaur ie chicken soup is the antidote for an ancient illness?

I drink a lot of herbal teas which work great for me. Now I'm battling insomnia. Anything with whatever benefryl has in it which is most sleep aids make me hyper. I drink herbal teas I meditate . I have this app called better sleep but not a lot of change.

Agreed. A U.S. runner competed in a race in the Olympics 2 days after he tested positive. He collapsed at the end and needed some help. He seemed proud that he still got bronze (he was favored for gold), but all I could think was how selfish he was. He was hugging and up close to other athletes there. Had a mask on later, but still. They had no Covid protocols for the Paris games, which just seemed wrong.

My H had it a couple months ago. I was a bit ill then, but never tested positive (it took him about 5 days after he first started feeling ill to test positive, too). So unsure if I possibly had it? (I had it in May 2023, but managed to keep H and D from getting it via masking, isolation, and air purifiers/open windows).

I feel we have to be careful because my mother-in-law has multiple conditions that put her at high-risk, and she tends to watch my D once a week.

Hope it's not Covid, Jersey!

Hope you stay healthy SD and that your partner feels better soon.

L had it last week. We had to miss our in-person. I'm surprised I didn't get it because I gave her a hug the day before she tested positive.
