exactly my situation. although the carton of cigarrettes and other smokable things consumed over the course of the roo probably didn't help

no but even though i took a shower every day i was there, I got home and the dust didn't come off till after 2 showers. I thought i was super clean i get in the shower later that night and boom the water turns brown i was like.....
My husband is sick sick sick. I'm not too bad. Although, when we got back to Florida, our friends down here were sick the whole time we were at 'Roo. Guaifenesin is a good cough expectorant...and you can get it over the counter, usually for cheap as a store brand. Help get the crap out of the lungs. I was thinking of taking him to an oxygen bar...does anyone know/think that would help with it?

the bonnaflu is kicking my ass today.
i cant even put in words how sick i feel today, i thought the worst of it was yesterday, yea, i was wrong. horrible fever, cant breath, nausea (which i dont understand) bla bla bla
You need an expectorant (NOT a cough supressant)... find something with Guaifenisin. Should help to get all of the crap up and out of yer lungs. Make sure to drink h20 with it, it works by drawing water into the bronchial tubes and thinning out the nasties so you can cough it up. Also, you should stay away from the alcohol and the dairy for a few days. Hope that helps.
my thrat has been feeling like it keeps closing each morning and man the cough sucks. I guess it is what we get for all the fun..haha...has to be at least one thing we take home with us besides awsome memories

a 17 hour drive to tennesee, 4 days of dust, 6 hours of sleep total, two packs of newports, 2c-i, doses, rolls, 20 blunts, plenty of beer, and another 17 hour drive home.
and miraculously, somehow i come home feeling better than i did when i left.
yeah i have a sore throat, and am congested, and have a wicked cough. I'm really wondering if T.B. wasn't in that dust ^.^. It does seem a bit better then it was though . I say its all worth it though
There seems to be two different afflictions going around. It sounds as if some of y'all got a cold from being around so many people. Full on Ny-Quil coma is the way to go on that one. I hope everyone feels better soon. I got my cold out of the way before I left for Roo. For the rest of us with "the cough", like everyone said, a good expectorant and lots of fluids will help get all that crap out of our lungs. Musinex seems to be working pretty well for me so far.
Oh, my sweet Corncat that dust was maddening. I have asthma and LOST MY INHALER on Friday. I was without relief until I was already home and unpacked. Lame.
I'm completely sick out of my mind, starting yesterday. I would Delsym is REALLY good at drying up all that garbage in your lungs. I'm gonna try some of my boyfriend's Mucinex to clear all this up.
As a noob, I definitely know what I'll be packing for next year ($-permitting) A painter's mask!!

I got a horrid cold on Monday and was hacking up lung butter, etc. until yesterday. My girl caught it from me and is currently hurting bad - we were both running fevers at one point. I'm pretty sure the dust, heat, sanitation, and congestion of people is enough to get anyone sick - unfortunately I was one of those anyone's.

Yeah pretty fine right now other than my body being pretty exhausted still. I felt like I could go for a few more days, but that could of just been me with all of the other substances still in my body talking. I tell you what though the last few nights of sleep have been great with flashbacks to Roo and all.
