the sick mommies~

Last week there was a post about having a cold, to my surprise there was actually quite a few of us battling a cold. I was just curious if everyone was feeling better?
Today is a week of being sick. I feel a whole lot better but have a lingering dry cough and my dang nose is still stuffed up. I opted not to take any OTC meds and am still just toughing it out. What about you?

I tried to tough mine out for about a week, ended up with bronchitis - I am feeling much better after using the robutussin for a week they said was on the ok list - I still withheld from my inhaler - which was really hard - so even now two weeks later I still have this deep death-cough...heaven forbid I actually laugh at anything...I sound like that cartoon dog mutley.
