TimmySmith 2,782 Posted March 26, 2020 There is no doubt hypochondria has set in. Any sniffle, any cough, any I'll feeling at all, and I take a constant self evaluation. We are bombarded with the power of suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted March 26, 2020 I feel my head regularly. It is coming into allergy season for me, so I will be sneezing and sniffling all the time. Might as well put a big pink suit on by the way people will look at me if I go out now. No big deal. I figure I don't have it that bad. - Healthcare workers on the front lines are dealing with real sh!t right now - I have a couple of friends who are prison guards and they are just waiting for it to start spreading throughout the prisons.

Same exact here. My head feels like it has a balloon in it. Same as every year, but it feels weirder now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted March 26, 2020 I had a pretty bad cough for about 2 days last week and it went away as quick as it came. But I finally had to take a break from all the virus talk as it was getting to me mentally. And I'm no hypochondriac by nature. Just looking around town and how people are reacting to this all, besides hospitals and senior living facilities, if this is spreading around this area, it's in the grocery stores. I've never seen the one's near me so busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you take anything daily for allergies? I take Flonase every morning, even in the winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone seems to experience symptoms differently. It could very well be the Rona, but your body responds mildly. Prob only way to know is if other people around you get it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time we went out at all was Mar 14th, so timing lined up there. We have been on lock down since apart from walking the dog. Can only check with the Mrs.(36c(f)) to see if she gets it.

I haven't heard of any long term effects from using Flonase daily. It has to have fewer side effects than putting up the the allergies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A severe allergy attack is miserable. I can't even keep my eyes open. Plus they are pouring water constantly. Luckily alegra works fine for me, and I only have to deal with allergies for a month or so a year. These last few years I have only had a few days the whole year where I had to take an alegra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandandy 3,312 Posted March 26, 2020 I was just teasing. In the past few years, I have slowly starting to get allergies but thankfully nothing as bad as you guys yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
