Im suffering bad. Sore throat from the post nasal drip. YUK. and my nose is running. I've read that this can happen after exposure to elements such as DUUUUUSST!!
im hoping its due to roo and not that im getting sick.
This is too funny. I too am suffering from these very same symptoms. Does any Bonna-doctor know how long this Roo-flu lasts? It sure blows, but this little cold was definitely worth every sneeze I've had for a bitchin four day weekend like no other.

wow. this makes me feel a ton better. im not considering myself sick then. cause this is prolly just our systems working their ways out from being all dried up in the dust.
my throat is killing me tho from the drip. yuk.
any home remedies?!
also this just started today for me. let me know when it eases up for you all.. so i can start to smile again!
Me three! Or is it four, or five? Ick....but small price to pay. I always get a summer cold, just came early this year.... But the sore throat is bothering me, I never get a sore throat....

yes i have the nasal drip as well, stuffy head, sore joints, oh and i am depressed as hell that its over. My girlfriend got bronchitis as soon as we got home and my brother has a hard core cold, i agree that it was the dust and lack of moisture, not to mention any chemicals that accidentally? fell in the nose.
My coworker and I who both went have the "Bonnacough" As the name implies, we are both hacking up serious amounts of TN dust.
My boyfriend and my coworker have the stuffy, runny nose and sore throat from post nasal drip.
Word of advise for next year, or the next year it is dry for that matter. If you can get your hands on some nasal allgery spray like Flonase or Nasonex, do it. I used my Flonase while at the Roo and I am not having any problems with a drip. My nose bled a little when we got back but nothing like what my boyfriend and coworker have now.
Good to know I am not the only person with Bonnaroo induced aliments (but so worth it!)
OK kids, I'm here to save the day. As a mommy and multiple time sufferer of the Bonnafloo I can tell you that it will pass in a few days. Take an expectorant to help the cough be productive. Nyquil yourself to sleep, ibuprofin is your best friend. Take some vitamins to help replenish your poor little selves. Keep hydrated. It sucks but it'll pass.
Next year... Airborne. It worked I came through it all pretty good.
ya know what, Sir Wiggenbolt, I had that same problem with chemicals falling into my nose. I think Warren Haynes had some trouble with that too, he seemed to have a runny nose after set breaks

I have it. The guy I drove back to the Bronx had it. I've used a remedy recommended by a pulmonologist some time ago. Put a little sea salt or kosher salt into a cup and add some warm water. Snort a little into each nostril. First time I did it a whole bunch of Tennessee earth in liquid form flowed through my sinues into the sink. The other thing I did to stop the drip was use a decongestant. I used one Allegra D. It dried it up some. Thankfully none of this has moved into my lungs!
Oh if you're asthmatic or you know someone with an asthma inhaler, the inhaler helps the cough greatly. I have one for when my allergies get bad but it totally breaks up the chest congestion and makes the cough productive.

By the way, the Westy I drove to Roo was no longer white after a day there. It was incredibly dirty by the time I got home. It took me a long time to make it white again. There was dust everywhere even on the inside. It had Roo Flu too!

Monday was black boogers, yesterday was sore throat, today is runny nose. Yup this sux, 4 days of pure insanity, and 4 days of recovery. It was still worth it.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
