Being Sick Sucks.

pektel · 02-21-2011, 12:39 PM

Still trying to kick a nasty cold from almost a week ago. Got a couple orders in, and I can't try them! I mean I could, but what's the point if you can't smell?

I suppose one set of them is from OCT00, so they've been waiting patiently for a while...

I am right there with you. My usual deal is 2.5 days of sick misery, an extra day of coughing up creatures,
then I am good. Here I am a week after I first got sick and I am not as drug down, but I have yet to wake up
and not cough up a Nokia and then get a little achey and chill-ey. Unprecedented chest-snot all day long.
On the good side, I am thinking seriously about bugging out of here and going home to sleep.

Get well soon guys! You have cigars to be smokin.

icehog3 · 02-21-2011, 12:55 PM

I just got over the crud Friday after 3 full weeks....this stuff just sucks. Hope you guys get better quicker.

kelmac07 · 02-21-2011, 01:17 PM

Hope you're feelig better soon.

srduggins · 02-21-2011, 01:20 PM

About 2.5 weeks for me before I slowly started smoking again. Does anyone else feel the need to start slowly with milder sticks or only smoking every other day after a nasty cold?

Get well soon, guys.

OLS · 02-21-2011, 01:27 PM

Any kind of smoking is best left as an afterthought when you are well over it, or else you just extend it needlessly.
I feel sorry for people who are addicted to nicotine. Just makes getting over a cold impossible. All I really want
back now is my sense of taste. Sucks to lose that. I have not been completely debilitated for days. It's the
LINGERING that's got me.

HollywoodQue · 02-21-2011, 01:28 PM

Hope you feel better soon.

Lucky_Hippo · 02-21-2011, 01:38 PM

I feel ya. Just got over it myself (almost 3 weeks). Hang in there fella's and just try to think of it in the rule of 3's. 3 weeks of aging + 3 weeks of sickness = 3 times the pleasure when you finnally can smoke. LOL

That's right where I'm at too. Just won't go away. I try not to take meds, but I've been swallowing echinacea like it's going out of style.

I started with a cheaper, milder stick, Steve, but only to see where my tasting was at. Glad I did, the first one I lit (too early) tasted like crap and I put it out and took another week off.

No fun

Get some sun. Always helps.

Ogre · 02-21-2011, 02:34 PM

I feel your pain brother, I had it for 3 weeks. Hope it clears soon. Look on the bright side, look at all the CA time you get!!!

BTcigars · 02-21-2011, 03:09 PM

I am in the same boat with you guys, sicker than a dog. Only thing is that Pete Johnson is coming to town on Fri and I hope I am better for the event. Ive been looking forward to his visit since Dec damnit! lol

GolfNut · 02-21-2011, 03:11 PM

Yup yup yup! I am just now clearing up after a 3 week nuclear cold! I swear, that's the worst one I've ever had. Good luck, wish I had some quick fix for you. NyQuil did help me a little during the roughest parts. Not sure what dosage I took as I just chugged it from the bottle. LOL

Good luck.

pektel · 02-21-2011, 03:11 PM

That would suck to miss it! I drug myself out to a brewfest on Saturday. Had a blast, but knew I would suffer some for it.

rebelknight · 02-21-2011, 03:53 PM

I feel ya. I had it for 2 weeks. Ran a 103 fever at one point and not a single night that I didn't wake up coughing, sneezing, etc. Luckily I've been better for a week now and I can actually enjoy smoking a cigar.

Gargoyle · 02-22-2011, 07:53 AM

I was going stir crazy after fracturing an ankle, followed up by pneumonia earlier this year. I was going mental not smoking for a month after having 1-2 cigars a day.

My first attempt to smoke again was an epic failure and I wasted a nice cigar. I'm working my way back, but the biggest struggle has been how long I can smoke, not necessarilly the strength of the cigar.

Hang in there and get well!

02-22-2011, 08:00 AM

I am semi-laid up now as well. I had a small piece of titanium put in my foot, along with 7 screws. I am going nuts I tell ya! At least I can smoke. Get well soon.

Skywalker · 02-22-2011, 08:34 AM

I feel your pain!

Mine is well into 3 weeks now!

I keep looking on the bright side, at least my collection is not being depleted!

Get well soon guys!!!
