I am still fucking sick. I spoke to my doctor, I have viral bronchitis, I've had it for a week and a half now and he says I'm no longer contagious, but I can't get rid of the damn cough! The doctor told me that the strain thats been going around has people coughing for six weeks... SIX WEEKS!? I haven't had more than two hours sleep in a night for ten days! I've tried everything! NyQuil, Benedryl, sitting up, whiskey, tequila, homeopathic stuff... nothin works! I'm just very frusturated, I desperatly want this to go away! A friend of mine said that when he had it, it lasted two weeks before he went to extreme measures: he fasted for an entire week. Lots of fluids, no food; and he said the difference was remarkable. Today is day one for me, its not even two o'clock, and the left over egg roll in the fridge is calling me. This is going to suck.
Edit: I have no will power. I definitely ate half that damn egg roll. Maybe if I just eat little bits of stuff at a time...

Have you tried melatonin? It works pretty well for me, but the psycho vivid dreaming thing I could do without Have they given you cough syrup with codeine? I remember that was the old standby for upper respiratory crap. I think I had my cough solid for about 3 weeks, but I still have an occasional one here and there after better than a month
