Sick? Help? Idk?

What does it feel like? How long have you had it? What are you taking (for it and your UC)? Is your UC flaring right now?

For the UC meds you should add them to your sig so we can be more helpful =)

Any sore throat, swollen glands, extreme tiredness?? If so, maybe mono? It really is hard to say. There are a lot of crappy things going around lately.

Hi David...I think you should call the doc for an appointment since you've been sick for over a week.

What meds are you on at this time? your signature doesn't state it.

Are you vomitting because of the coughing?

That sounds familiar.....I've had the same thing.

Keep hydrated as much as possible.

Hang tough! Let us know how you're doing. I'm now at the full turning point of improvement...the doc just called to say all was fine with my x-rays and blood tests.
The cough I now have is a tickle, but I've had to take robitussin with DM to at least be able to function. I'm not concerned at this point since I don't have a productive cough, but it's so ticklish that the cough doesn't even sooth it....after I gag and spit up, it helps a bit. very becoming through the process and afterward!!! lol.


So what robitussin are you taking? expectorant? DM only? expectorant with DM? Multi symptom? Don't take the antihistamine one...you'll just get worse.

Sometimes giving the digestive system a break from solid foods can help, but that should be ideally be done under the guidance of your doctor, and only for a short while.

So...you should try eating as your body needs that nutrition to heal itself...otherwise the medicine alone might not be enough.

When I was flaring badly I managed to handle bland foods like soft avocados and white rice with yogurt. Also, you could try juicing vegetables (spinach, carrots...) to get some good nutrition in.

I gained 5 pounds during this time being sick. I feed my cold, my fever, my UC...whatever. ...
