But I think it's natural to be curious about what is circulating out there, especially when it's not just a run-of-the-mill cold. This seems different from the respiratory viruses that we are used to seeing in our house (longer course, more severe), so I wondered if others have been experiencing this too, and if so, whether they had any insights. I have it too now, and it's truly horrible.
Yes, it’s misreable. I get it after every cold and need an antibiotic and steroid to stop it. I’ve had a rib fracture too.
