[QUOTE="Mike_60, post: 2041302, member: 16957"] That sounds about the same to me. I have never coughed up anything it's just an irritating feeling of needing to, and ditto with the fatigue and shortness of breath, but the fatigue does pass fairly early. And like I said, mine started at Thanksgiving and is still a problem. My wife came down with it about a week later and is still dealing with it also, and weve both, seen the doctor about it. Y2K that was a real learning experience for me. :teach: I was self-employed at the time but had known about the issue for a several years prior. Starting on midnight of the last day of 1999 (Samoan time), I sat down with a couple bottles of rum and a 2 liter of coke and watched the Y2K celebrations roll across the world, at least until I was toasted, about Denver I believe. I was surprised by how few disruptions there actually were, but my memory isnt 100% reliable that day. :drunk5: My background, prior to self-employment, was in communications and computer systems. So I knew that Y2K was an issue. But what I didnt take into account was the army of COBAL and FORTRAN programmers in India working to come up with patches for it. And also, that every major corporation was spending like crazy upgrading all of their smaller systems that were in mission critical positions. So, the meltdown was a bust, and so was I. :owned3: As the date got closer, I had become more obsessed with the issue and had been badly ignoring my business and customers. I hadnt been in a position to do much in the way of prepping prior, so if something really disastrous had happened, Id have been very vulnerable and knew it. So, I was relieved when the date passed. The following month, I did some real soul searching and I came to realize that I hated the circumstances that I found myself in, so I decided to change them. :thumb: :thumbup3: [/QUOTE]
