Yikes! This cold just won't go away. I now have laryngitis (yeah, the kids are lovin' it!) and people don't seem to realize that they need to be in front of me, or at least near me when I whisper an answer to their questions. I finally bought some of that Zicam (or whatever it's called) and stuck some of that up my nose (I really don't like anything but air going into my nose - ick!), and it sure has done something for some of the symptoms, but I want my voice back. You know how hard it is to sing along to the radio when all that comes out is a squeak? Maybe I should get an Alvin and the Chipmunks CD. Nah. Even my squeak isn't consistent. Well, I just chewed on some garlic (that'll keep the kids out of my face!) and I'm getting ready to chow down on a baked potato (mmmm! Comfort food!). At least my appetite is back. I should be back to (ab)normal soon. Maybe I'm too impatient.

Hot tea with lemon and honey. Trust me. Hot tea with lemon and honey. You may have to drink 20 cups of it but it will eventually do it's job.

Believe me, I've had so much hot tea with lemon and honey, I feel like I'm going to float away. At least the caffeine keeps me awake. LOL. I'd hate to find myself waking up in my tea pee. *insert boos here*

no boos from me hun, off the wall humor makes me laugh every time! Ok so no tea for you! Then you are just going to have to sit there with your full bladder and garlic breath and squeak at your kids until it runs its course. My kids would be doing a dance feeding me ice cream and coughing on me on purpose if I ever lost my voice. It would be like Christmas for them all over again if I couldn't do anything but squeak, point and look at them disapprovingly. LOL

You need to let your body heal. Tell me how much are you working and how much have you rested. Boy you expect your body to snap right back huh...hummmm sounds a little like me. Is there a club for us? LoL I know when I get sick, I am down and out for the count, but that is due to my pushing myself to that extreme. Even to the point of being put in the hospital. Let your body heal itself because it is a bad season and if you try to rush it you will relapse worse. Soup....soup.....soup.....I think I should make you some and send it to you at this rate. Ainge
