If you have what I have ... you're in it for the long haul. I started coughing and hacking the day after Christmas ... and STILL am, along with bringing up phlegm. I blamed it on being around a bazillion runny-nosed little kids on Christmas Eve (party at friend's house with all their grand kids present). Lynn came down with it a couple days after me. At it's worst, she missed 7 days of work plus 2 ruined weekends (she didn't want to spread it), but she's also still coughing. It's been over a month now and I'm .... ummm, WE'RE TIRED of it!

We do get flu shots annually, but this isn't flu-like ... it's all in the chest and WILL NOT go away!
