I'm just getting over a nasty cold.
(I still can't hear right yet)

Take lots of vitamin C (oranges and orange juice) drink plenty of liquids, and you too will survive.

LOL!

Seriously though, I think I might have died recently of not even a cold, but dry coughs--I was coughing so hard, I threw up my breakfast in church and had to be taken to hospital, I could hardly breathe.

It's caused by a hypersensitive windpipe left behind by the cold I had earlier, I think--the doctors certainly didn't find much wrong with me! Leaving the hospital, my father mumbled something about abusing the emergency ward, while I went and bought some medicine for stopping running nose, which cut out most of the coughing. (no, not the cough syrup

) But even now, whenver I cough, I have to fight the urge to keep hacking until I throw up my whole dinner, 'coz my windpipe gets so itchy, my next cough can hardly wait for me to draw my next breath first, it would cough out food instead of air

Head toward the light, what I tell all my siblings.

Damn, ZCX!

I saw this thread and REALLY thought you were terminally ill or something. Especially after seeing your FS threads selling off just about everything.

Man, don't scare us like that!


Hope you feel better, soon.

Well of course you are, the human lifespan is relatively short.
Lets compare it to geographic time for instance...

Coincidentally, I had the same exact thing occur to me IN SCHOOL several times! At least I'm almost sure it was the same thing. My windpipe was itching severely and I couldn't stop to breathe. It feels like there is an imaginary spider crawling up my esphagus. It was extremely scary as well as embarrasing (my face turned dark red completely and tears came out). Until now I didn't think much of it. Next time I won't take chances and ask for help.

Get a grip man!

The cold medicines here really suck, and the doctors give you nothing.

Mom tried to send me cold medicines...a big package full of various forms of Nyquil, Sudafed, Contac, all sorts of stuff like that. And what did that customs b*** do? Took them away! Apparently they're all banned substances here.

Note to self, stock up on this stuff when you go back home! At the very least, it lets you sleep through the worst bits.

Chug 5 bottle of RedBull back to back to back to back and I assure you that you'll feel "different" after a few moments...

Relax. This is like marriage: Better than die on fire...

Gah, this has been happening to me at least a few times a DAY for weeks now... except for the coughing out food part

What to do...

Completely dark red, huh? Sounds like you had it worse than me. (but I do have the tears coming out too) How and when did you stop coughing?

 

[shaggy me]

Gargle with salt water, take some Echanecia, and SLEEP

BTW im not trying to be motherly
