For those of you wondering, I think Mucinex does work. I’m coughing up mucus-galore. But then, I was pretty phlegmy even before I took it. Too bad I don’t know how to spit it out so it all goes into my stomach. The other day I dreamt that I spat out phlegm. A whole handfull! And I mean a WHOLE HAND FULL, as if I threw it up! It was green and orange and white, but like soft cheese… so nasty; I was very fascinated.
I’m surprised Sam isn’t sick yet. He has super immunity or something. He has been so nice to me, making me comfort foods and treats. Sometimes I wish I was sick more often so I get this special treatment.
I drink so much water b/c I’m constantly thirsty. But they just feed the ever-increasing mucus.
I don’t think I have just a cold. But I also don’t think I have the flu b/c I’m not achy… but am constantly tired. Do you think I should still go see a doctor? It should get better by itself, right? It’s been almost 3 weeks and the chest congestion just started last week. Any docs in the house?
I’ve been cooped up in the house since Saturday, I need to make myself go out and get some fresh air after work.

OK, that’s a lot of phlegm. Were you drinking orange juice? Is that why it was orange??
i have that right now too! stupid bug going around. feel better soon!
oh no! man Judy, i hope you get better soon. hah im still sick too! but it’s only been about a week and a half. . . but yes, i will pray for you for sure. take care!
large amounts of phlegm is always fascinating. it’s like wow, this shizzle came out of my body.
you’re a married christian woman, aren’t you? please read my last entry; i wanna hear what you think. thanks.
Get better soon! I would say if you’re still coughing green phlegm and feeling tired and run down next week, talk to any one of the MDs in church and we’ll see if we can help.
I notice eating sweets make the coughing and mucus worse. I thought coughing up mucus is a sign that you are getting better. you should feel better in a few days.
omg, it mucinex totally works! jasper had this phlemy cough for a long time, and i went to the drugstore and saw it and luckily they had mucinex for kids. anyways, it totally cleared out his throat and doesn’t wake himself up from coughing anymore!
Now thats a keeper! Go Sam!
Feel better and get well soon Judy!
more mucinex pleease.
oh man. get better please. phlegm has go see a doctor written all over it.
aw thats so nice of sam to treat you so well! if its been 3 weeks, i guess it wouldnt hurt to see the doctor just to make sure everything is ok.
oh! i think i have whatever you have. it’s so bad that i get all into a coughing fit while in the OR. fortunately God has blessed me with the ability not to do that when i’m actually scrubbed in, only when i’m observing. so mucinex works eh? my friend recommended it, but since i had something similar at home i didn’t take it. the stuff at home didn’t work as well…no handfuls of mucus for me! ;) maybe i’ll give it a try.
PS chris and sam must share the same immune system because no matter what i bring home from the hospital, chris never gets sick! how do they do it??
