1. That does suck
Drink a hot toddy. You'll feel much better. Trust me.

2. Oh bummer
I had bronchitis in March '03. Drink lots of liquids, take hot showers to move the phlegm, and above all get rest!

4. Thanks for all the tips, guys and gals. I seem to get bronchitis a lot.
The doctor asked if I smoke (I don't). I put a humidifier in my room w/ some Vick's stuff in there last night to help me breathe better.

5. I've been resting a lot. I'm wondering if I should go back to work

tomorrow (been out all week). Doc prescribed a five-day dose of strong anti-biotics to knock it out and some prescription decongestant pills (take 1-2 every 12 hours).

6. Bronchitis does suck, but not as bad as 4 more years of dumbass
Actually, nothing is worse than that. But I feel for you, anyway.

7. True. Your post does put things in perspective. Wish a five day

regimen of anti-biotics would free of us all of the damage yet to be done by Bush & Company, but alas...

Thanks for your sympathies (acchoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!).
