There is a cold going around New York now

[djkyosti]

Seems that there is a cold going around New York now.  Starts with a sore throat and then makes you tired and acheu/sore all over.  Some people also develop a cough.  Seems to last a few days.  Anybody else have this one?

I have had this cold/virus since the day before Thanksgiving. It started with an intense headache, running nose, then a sore throat. Now I still have the sore throat and such intense coughing that I have pulled a muscle in my side and feel like achy like death warmed over. I went to my doctor and was told this is a virus but not the flu. What the heck is the difference? It sure feels like the flu!!!

Here we are in May almost June and people have sore throat, tired, aches, cough and pink eye....which can be brought on by a virus..........I think this is the same virus hanging on, and I hope its not pig flu...........

There is definitely something going around New York. Mine started with nasal congestion, then turned into a terrible throat cold and right when that was getting better, manifested as conjunctivitis (pink eye.) Many of my friends in Fredonia where I am have similar symptoms as well as friends in my native city, Rochester. Anyone with cold symptoms should start taking sudafed since it reduces the risk of sinus infection. Good luck
