No, it's for colds as well. I have known several other co-workers that have gotten it for just a really bad cold.

I didn't know you could catch something over the internet but you must be able to cause after reading this yesterday my throat has been hurting it better not be strep cause I have exams next week then I am out for christmas.

Considering a cold is a virus... (there is no cure)... Zpack is just a anti biotic... kills the bacteria.

Yea after taking it for multiple times in a row for ear infections it doesnt do too much anymore... switched over to some poop tasting plastic gellcaps called omnicef. Works for now..

Peter do you know why you're so succeptible (sp?) to ear infections?

A//// Guy · 12-12-2003

Yea I do now. I only get them right around October through December... it has to do with allergies and this time of the year... I just started taking zyrtec and its much better, along with flonase. I think Im preped for next year. As now I know what to take and when.

They had me on the stronger zytrec D and I thought I was having a heart attack... it gives you palpitations and heart shit.

that is why you normaly don't ever take the same med 2 times in a row cause you will get immune to it. Normally they rotate me on alot of different antibiotics.

So anybody else sick besides me? Woke up with a sore throat Sunday morning and it's been downhill since.

You need to change your lifestyle or something if you're getting sick this often.

Jakey · 02-16-2005

I thought I've been doing pretty well. Usually I get at least a cold once or twice a year and this is the first time I've been sick since this thread was originally started.

Smokers are the ones who seem to get sick all the time. You can add the heavy drinkers to the list also. I haven't had to mis a day of work in the 4.5 years I have been there. I also have not missed school in several years to to a cold or being sick. I think it has a lot to do with your lifestyle...

I was perfectly fine til I stepped foot in WI. Then I came back and after 2 weeks, I might be ok.

Jakey · 02-16-2005

I agree on the lifestyle aspect. One of my roommates has been fighting a nasty cold for about two weeks. Combine that with the bar hopping trip a few of us went on last Friday night and here I sit.

A//// Guy · 02-16-2005

I havent been sick this winter yet and saturday afternoon when I was up at the cabin I started getting a sore throat too. And now its just a nice cold witha sore throat... which will probably turn into an ear infection

haha

AJ · 02-16-2005

Ever since I have started going out and drinking more I have felt 10 times better! Fuck the lifestyle, I've been a smoker as well for 10 years now and up until this year where I had a few cold I never really got sick that much. Maybe once a year and usually it's nothing that would keep me from work. But I had the time so i stayed home so I didn't get others sick.

TheBlizzard · 02-16-2005

Sooo...on that note. We going out this weekend?

On topic. I never get sick, I work at a casino and am exposed to everything. So I think I am pretty much immune to anything there is out there.

CRAIG

AJ · 02-16-2005

I'm game for getting back tot he Bird.

wohlfman · 02-17-2005

I have had a runny nose and a cold for the past 3 months. Nothing that keeps me from work, but it still sucks. I can still drink alot of beer.
