Yeah I got sick too. It started with a scratchy throat and then on to sinus problems and then a cough. The sinus problems went away after a few days and my throats alot better now. I still have a very unnoticeable small cough but its fading now. I have a very strong immune system though and normally don't even get sick when everyone around me is. I'm 100% sure I got sick from being in that dust hell that was stirring around Sunday afternoon. It made me feel like shit and I kept spitting dust out of my mouth. I agree with the comment I think I read about the dust being highly polluted and what not. I feel like that's the main cause of this.

i feel awful. this morning I felt decent which has led to an afternoon of drowsiness and my whole body feels tired. I'm really hoping this isn't pneumonia, I'm feeling really funky. If I don't feel better tomorrow, i'm going to have to go to the doctor.

I've been under the weather as well. Head and chest cold. I feel better today than yesterday. Sunday night before we left, some one from our group started throwing up and running fever, and all day Monday as well.

so, i caved and went to the doctor. diagnosed with bronchitis, but was told that i was good to come in, as it would have turned into pneumonia in the next few days. i've never actually had a doctor call my cough 'gross' before!!
ended up w/: zpack albuterol inhaler tussin w/ codine, so my coughs don't wake me up at night bed rest
i finally went to the dr. today for the cough that won't go away. he said my lungs look bad and it could be pnenumonia. but i don't have the other symptoms.
I read a couple months ago on a different thread that it's tested every morning by the health dept. I'm pretty sure it's all just silt.... and dust.
I don't think the water is to blame for the sickness. I mean how often were you shoulder to shoulder with 4-500 people over roo wekend? Did you take a drink out of anybody's water? Do you think your resistence might have been weakened by "activities" or lack of sleep?
the possibilities are endless. This is the first year I haven't been sick, Airborne rocks!

102.5 fever for me, too. Flu-like symptoms from Wednesday afternoon till today (Monday). Peaked Thursday night and SLOWLY improving. Fever broke last night.
I got sick from the dust last year, but this year I was fine. I fully planned on getting sick and took off from work until Thursday just to make sure the Roo-cough would be gone.
I have no idea how I lucked out because my hair was wet and in a bun the whole time, but I layered up at night at shows and slept in layers, socks and lots of blankets. Maybe it was the cold nights in combination with the dust that got everyone.
I am feeling waaaay better. Just really tired. And kind of stressed about missing so much work. Can't go back until at least Monday per the Dr.
There has been some hatin' going on here. I am [sadly] surprised! It's really harsh. I stumbled on the whiner thread, posted a pic and got smote within 30 seconds.
Even tho I almost ended up in the hospital from the Roo'monia and everything was not ~perfect~ I had a really great time.
Plus I have not had a cig in EIGHT DAYS!!! I'm done. Yea, me.
Hopefully everyone will calm down soon and we can talk about next year's line up, logistics, brunch, etc.

So much sickness!!! I want to give everyone hugs, but I'm sick too and shareing isn't caring
I thought I was fine, just sniffles from the dust, but then the cough started. I only got 2-3 hrs of sleep last night because of it. To top it all off, I'm starting a new position tomorrow at work where I will be outside hikeing. (yay!!! but being sick... boo) I really hope I will be able to keep up, but the way this cough is going, I'm not sure. I'm worried it could become pneumonia. I don't have health insurance till min july so I'm skrewed.

Besides all the Rx stuff, my Dr. had me get PLAIN Robitussin. No letters behind it (just the chest/congestion one). It has a mucinex (sp) type effect that will break up the crud. Or get mucinex.

Mucinex is a Godsend. Even though it doesn't require a prescription, You might have to ask for it at the counter. In NJ at least, you have to sign for it. I highly recommend it over Dayquil or Claritin.

i think i might finally be back at around 85%. i've actually been mobile. but the cough! lingering, but still hanging out. any time i laugh really hard i break into this crazy old lady cough.
but, yes. the mucinex is the greatest thing. other than my tussin w/ codine, which helped me sleep all night and not cough. not otc, roo'ers, unless you are up in canada. but worth getting a script for if you haven't been sleeping. i think it was 4 dollars to get filled.
