In denial

[rclouse79]

For months I have been looking forward to my out of state rile elk hunt that opens this Saturday. I spent most of my summer selling old gear, researching new gear, buying new gear, and getting in shape. More nights than not I have stayed awake for hours after laying down with thoughts of elk and mountains running through my head. So now the hunt is upon me and I am starting to get that feeling in my sinuses and throat that tells me something is not quite right. I have been trying to ignore the feeling, hoping that if I don’t acknowledge it maybe it will go away. I would be lying if I didn’t say I was a little depressed with the timing of getting this crud.

How many people out there have had to deal with sickness on a hunt. What drugs did you take to make it bearable? I am talking about the kind you can buy at Walmart, in case anyone is confused.

Lots of fluids and vitamin C. A couple snorts of fireball works good too, kills what ills you! Pretty sure Walmart carries it.

Go see your doc right quick. Tell her what is up and see about a culture before you start taking antibiotics. It might put your worries to rest too.

[Lucafu1]

strep is going around right now. i would go to walgreens and get tested and if you do have it (or ear infection for example) you can get some antibiotics.

[singleshot]

Theraflu severe cold daytime variety.

+1. As soon as you start feeling the symptoms, pound the Airborne and hit the sauna. Hit it hard before it hits you hard.
