ok, who got sick this year?

[OrbWeaver]

Sounds like a more severe version of what I have. However, I started feeling it on Saturday night. Partially why I had to go sit in the outer section midway through the Allstar Jam.

We wondered where you went off to! I thought maybe you left or something.

I blew my voice out Thursday night (go figure...) but other than a little
chest phlegmage, from smoking/partying/lack of sleep/not to mention the smoke in the lobby (I'm a smoker, and it even made me go outside quite a bit), I'm doing quite well, other than having a slight Barry White voice. Last year, I was sick as a dog for 3 weeks. Drank more tequila this year, THAT must be it!

You know we have to ask!

it was all just part of a conspiracy to creep me out first thing in the morning... :Smug:

 

[freakchylde]

Sore throat is getting me today, gonna go sleep some more.

 

[Metaldrumz]

Yep. Started with a sore throat. Now Im totally congested with a cough. UGH.

 

[kellsco]

One of my party just reported in today saying that as of 3 days ago, they were sicker than a dog.

I've been lucky and not got it except for my first PP 6 years ago. At least a week before PP I start with the Airborne and drink it about 5 times a day. I also most always have hand sanitizer or wipes with me, and make sure I never touch my face with un-washed hands. The un-washed hands thing is a habit I've picked up mostly from working two jobs, one with the public and money, and knowing what kinds of evil can be lurking on my hands from that job.

 

[SharkBlack]

I just have one suggestion to y'all.... drink more, nothing can survive in my bloodstream when I'm Progpower

Seriously though, I somehow avoided getting sick even though Jax had the funk for 2 weeks prior to the show this year... She was just getting better and I thought for sure I was gonna get it that weekend, but alas I went through unscathed!

Ok I'm pretty sure I just jinxed myself for next year...

Naw, I started getting light headed and breaking out in a cold sweat which usually leads to me getting dizzy and loosing my vision for a few minutes. Not a fun thing that I find happens occasionally at concerts if it's ridiculously hot, I get dehydrated or am already getting sick. I held out for about 3 songs before I got to the point where I had to get some water and sit for a bit.

 

[kittybeast]

I also washed my hands often and carried my airline regulated 3oz of hand sanitizer.

 

[Tuflus]

Fiancee and I both got sick on Friday after eating some of the food at Vinyl's. uke: Even lasted the same amount of time for us both. Got a sore throat just after getting back, and thats since turned into a full blown cold. First time in 8 ProgPower's so I'm not complaining.

 

[Jurakan]

Alcohol is an antiseptic, so if you have it flowing all through your system, you can't get sick.

Drinking = preventive medicine

 

[Rakosh]

I think I got it...I think I got it from you!! uke:

:Smokin:

I caught something Saturday night! Had it ever since.....:zombie:

You should really consult a doctor about that. Sounds bad

 

[Cephalopod]

Yep, I am officially sick...felt a little funky heading to Atlanta, but the full-blown sore throat/congestion/cough started a few days ago. Damn it...

 

[Tess]

You should really consult a doctor about that. Sounds bad

It is bad. Very, very bad! :Smug:

Seriously, must have been the smoke this year. I lost my voice Sunday after and it's back now but it's still not 100%. Maybe I am just getting too OLD and can't hang at the club all weekend anymore

 

[MetalRose]

I didn't get it, but I still haven't passed the freaking kidney stone I have. Even after all that beer. *sigh*

I do this as well all the time not just when i head off on a fest trip. I see so many people not washing their hands so I am paranoid of touching anything and just in case I have touched something, my hands don't come near my face especially eyes or nose where you can easily put the germs into your body.

 

[sh0kr0k]

This is the first time I haven't been dreadfully sick after ProgPower in 6 years!

 

[AMBR]

Shiit... I drank less, slept more, ate a lot and got sick for the first time. Not sure pacing was the way to go. I got my voice back Thursday, but I'm still congested. I think drinking more was more "healthy" lol.
