I don't know about you guys but whenever I get the flu or bad cold I feel this soreness in the back of my thought. Usually the day BEFORE I actually get symptoms of the cold. It's like a warning sign that your about to get sick.

I don't know if its just my body or a universal thing. I just started a new job and new semester classes start next week, and I REALLY hate to get a cold.

I have some "Ester C" tablets and I'll take 2 before I go to bed, but I just feel it coming. I don't tend to get sick more than 2x a year but damn dorm so easy to get ill in.

A sore throat is a symptom of a cold.

I can always tell when I'm about to get sick because I start feeling cold...And considering I'm usually fine walking around in sub-40 Fahrenheit temperatures in shorts, it's pretty obvious to spot... =(

It's telling you not to eat

Two years ago I was at the PNE. Big annual fair in Vancouver for those that don't know. Anyway I was going to go to McDonalds for dinner which is about a block from the fairgrounds. But I was thirsty so first I stopped at a water fountain to get a drink. Almost immediately I felt like I had cotton in my mouth. Sure enough by the time I got to McDonalds like ten minutes later I had a sore throat and was all stuffed up. I usually can tell I'm getting sick but in this case it just hit me so quick. I wonder who the extremely contagious person who used that water fountain was.

No disease can come on that quickly. If it was really from the water fountain, it had to have been an allergic reaction.

I'm pretty sure Ian was joking...Yes, I know it's rare to see him making a joke, so you're forgiven...

I don't see it, Bill. If that's a joke, it's a lame one.

That is what happens when people who hardly joke, joke.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:51:45 PM »

It's not a joke. Seriously I was sick almost instantly. It was really weird. Maybe the water fountain part was a coincidence and I just happened to first start feeling sick at the moment following using the fountain.

HA! I knew my sarcasm detector was still working!

My chest feels like somebody's sitting on it when I first start noticing I might be sick. If I can eat a couple of fruits and grab some juice, I can usually beat it before any real symptoms set in. Once they set in though, I'm fucked.

ThePerm · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:30:30 PM »

ian probably got some bacterial infection, bacteria can multiply quickly.

Stogi · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2008, 11:34:55 AM »

not that quickly

The next question is how long was he at the fair and if he had the steak or the fish

Mario · « **Reply #15 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:37:37 AM »

He would have got something from McDonalds 10 minutes later anyway. It's like driving out to a distant store for a rare game and on the way you find another store with it, and for cheaper!

What I tell you about P.F. Chang's?

AV · « **Reply #18 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:04:46 PM »

i avoided the sickness which is a great update.

I took Ester-C 2-3x a day
and 2-3 Air-Borne tablets a day

so I don't feel terrible and I guess that worked

it depends on how much bacteria he got in his mouth at once
