That's a good point to consider. Let's see..., O.K. The Lounge it is!

Am I the only person who sees you name and conjures up an image that is half giant teddy bear and half saber tooth tiger?

Thanks! 
Probably you are the only one who conjures up that image. Guess we'd have to take a poll to find out.

...after all, we could use some fun. Nothing like sharp, witty retorts, and sarcastic posts. Great fun for posters and readers alike.

Thanks Abu. Although I'd like to be part of the great fun (at my expense) I'm just too cowardly to not follow proper protocol. (Oh no, I bet I just lost man points.) But I must admit, the Lounge does get a lot of traffic. Hmmm.

I decided to try my luck in the Operating Systems/SysAdmin forum. It's bound to be less fun than the Lounge would have been, but that's life.

Thanks again to everyone for their input.

So, I am in the US, going to Rocklahoma this weekend, and I have a headache, sore joints, a cough and sore throat. I feel miserable. *sigh*

I'm in the US, getting ready to head to the eye doctor, and i have nausea, a stiff neck, and a mountain of unfinished work. Nyah.

Thanks, yeah - pretty sure it's just allergies + lack of sleep, but i'll find out for sure in about an hour. After which my pupils will be dilated and i'll get that headache you've been bragging about.

Go immediately to the nearest watering hole(do not pass Go) and get 2-3 shots of your favorite warm-up juice and you should be better soon. Good luck, hope you feel better.

There are two likely causes: bacteria and viruses. If you have a bacterial infection you need to see a doctor and get an antibiotic. Bacteria are more likely to cause a fever than viruses.
If it's a virus, a zinc lozenge every three hours will reduce the severity and duration of the infection. Only zinc lozenges with zinc gluconate or zinc acetate are effective.
For the cough, Robitussen (or the generic equivalent) is good. It has a cough suppressant and an expectorant, which reduces the need to cough.
For the malaise, enteric-coated aspirin is good. If you're in Canada you can get acetaminophen and codeine over the counter (you have to ask for it), which is more effective than aspirin.
Feel better.

My biology teacher once told us that bacteria can be eliminated by getting really drunk - alcohol kills those little beasts, he said. For viruses this (unfortunately?) doesn't work though.

The problem with that is that alcohol also impairs your immune system and dehydrates you. But I have heard of a case where a nasty infection seemed to be cleared up by doing that.

Yeah I have never tried this myself. I don't feel like getting drunk when I'm ill

It sucks being sick, much less with a concert coming up.
Get well soon dude. Overdose on the OJ, always good stuff that.
