Soooo...

General
Can I ask you guys a question? I'm hoping I can figure out something soon because this is starting to kill me.
So lately I've been having this really bad cough, it started out as a minor tiny cough every now and then, I thought it would you know..blow over soon. NOOO PROBLEMMMM.
Well it's been doing nothing but getting worse every day, to the point where I feel like I'm hacking up axes and knives and shit. My throat is constantly sore now and it hurts to WAKE UP!! from sleeping because I feel like I'm about to die from a lack of being able to breathe properly. As if some asshole dunked me underwater in some swimming pool and held me under for a good five minutes and I finally manage to kick him in the balls somehow all like HEY JACKASS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, yet I'm struggling to say this because I WAS JUST HELD UNDERWATER FOR 5 MINUTES AND I NEED TO BREATHE. I sound like your grandmother's 13 year old fat persian cat who still has a terrible hairball problem ever since it was 2 years old but YOUR GRANDMOTHER DIDN'T CARE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. She thought it was cute!! MRS.SUGARPLUMGUMDROPMOOKIEBUTTS BOUGHT ME A SURPRISE.
Ok I think I've gotten the point across, that's how bad it is or I wouldn't be trying to come up with silly analogies.
Also it's weird, it's just the cough that's killing me, I'm not congested or anything. It's just the stupid cough that's making me feel bad. Does anyone know what it might be or..have you ever experienced this before? I would go to a doctor..but it's the weekend, so I would have to wait until next week.
It's really upsetting too because it's hindering my productive streak I was on last weekend, I had it scheduled to get some work done today but I've been doing nothing but sleeping. That and I'm hoping this won't ruin my plans for this weekend in general. :c I'm going to go to walmart now and see what I can pick up to help. THIS SUDAFED CRAP ISN'T WORKING.

FA+

I need to go pick up some hardcore orange juice or V8 or something.
Oh god I can't afford to get that sick right now D|
Yeah definitely! Geez that makes me a little nervous about cons now xD I hope I don't get sick from the ones I'm going to.
THAT WOULD BE BALLS.
We should totally exchange ###'s
WHY IS IT COLD IN FLORIDA. That and in March??? It's making me sad.
Sadly I have to go out if I want to get more medicine. :c ah, I'll dress warm.
DO NOT however, drink any soda. That will feed whatever bacteria or germs you have back there :3
Lemme know how it turns out.
I plan on commissionin' you one day so DON'T GET ANY MORE SICK THEN YOU HAVE TOO!
Sparkling tea = Tea soda

I am so sad right now..
I know how it is about working when you're sick, I went through that last semester in my animation classes as well. I had to literally drag myself out of bed to go finish a project that was due the next day, and I think I was pissing everyone off in the labs because I couldn't stop sneezing and hacking. q_q It suckssss.
HOPEFULLY IF I GET ANY BETTER I will definitely open for commissions this week, but first I have to get everyone else out of the way first because I don't want any trouble.
and Hoi ya. In school they had me directing a few projects... which means.. I was involved with everything.. And I think my loss of sleep and my getting sick went hand in hand. But wanting to gete the job done was overwhelming. However I look back on those projects and think there are things that could have been done better.
Get better okay? :3 I recommend any white or green tea.
Oh I think I will!! Thanks Kyle.
I haven't been using any materials at all, besides gesso, but that's nothing spectacular at all. I'll definitely be calling up a doctor on Monday.
Sucking on ice makes it feel good. Don't chew - just suck. And drink lots of water. And yeah - meds. Simple cough medicine isn't gonna help any.
Unless, of course, you've been inhaling second-hand smoke or possibly sniffing some strong chemical...but you're in animation, right? I don't think any of that could mess you up.
Does gasoline count...?? HGFSD NOT THAT I go out and smell it every day, I just know it was pretty strong last weekend when I was filling up my car.
Gasoline...no, that would probably just get to your brain. Y'know, the TOXIC FUMES? *wiggly fingers* That wouldn't mess with your throat. Unless, like, you like in Texas and there's a goddamn drought and the only source of liquid is said gasoline, I HIIIIGHLY doubt that's the source.
Do you have a fever?
Are there no walk-in clinics in the area? (Don't know if those are an America-specific thing or not)
If it's just a sore throat and cough with no fever it could be allergies or some sort of post-nasal drip irritating the throat.
We have numerous walk in clinics actually, so I'll be seeing which one I can go into on Monday. Also no, I don't have a fever.
Try finding some numbing throat spray and of course drink lots of water and warm drinks. Suck on cough drops too.
EITHER WAYYYY I hope it clears up and you feel better soon! ♥
I'll try to get a full day's worth of rest so I'll be okay at the meet, but I may be a little late, more than likely if I sleep all day I don't wake up until 3 xD;
better get an appointment at yout doc
But it's not a over the counter medicine. You should see a doctor about it.
I hope you get better by then for it....
Or could be that my mind is on it...my friends father passed away from this on Friday after being to the doctor last wednesday.
It was only after a month straight of coughing that my parent finally took me to a doctor. The solution was simple in my case - I got a bottle of pink ooze and and the coughing quickly subsided. Before that, it was weeks of waking up in the middle of the night with coughing fits. I sometimes coughed up acid/food (not even the worst colds been that bad). In public I tried to stifle it as it wasn't accomplishing anything to begin with. There was nothing else going on besides a persistent cough.
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the infection. My parents were heavy smokers though.
I say it's a simple infection because all I did was take some meds (antibiotics I suppose) for a short while and it all went away. No complications or weirdness. ...And to think I was left with it for over a month when getting rid of it was so easy. No scans or extensive testing, just a prescription.
Anyhow. I hope your issue is as easy as mine was. I'm mostly sharing this to give you an idea of... some nameless infection it could be. ... Yeh...
