Littlesis | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:42 am  Maybe he is afraid to admit that he is really sick? Will deal with it when he gets out? Would explain why he has been kind of quiet and the restless sleep. |
Judy | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:43 am  He asked for cough drops the other day, and I think BB got him some. |
Katie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:47 am  I think the sleep problem is because of being the saboteur. He is trying to change that clock when no one is watching. That means staying awake longer thene everyone. |
Lynnseamonkey | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 11:00 am  yeah, he has to try to stay awake and the others are hanging out late at night. At least last night when Jamie again suggested swimming, Josh quickly mentioned his cough. I think Eddie and Josh are hurting lately but if they get a doctor who says they need to leave, they lose.. This saboteur think is keeping Curtis and Josh awake more.. and lots of us posters too |
Tootseug | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 07:41 pm  Yes, Josh needs some Robitussin with Guifenisen. Would loosen up his chest. |
Katie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 07:43 pm  They gave him Chloraseptic spray. Dumb. He doesn't have a sore throat but a cough and he asked for Hall's Cough drops. I sure wish someone could get him the right thing. |
Novasea | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 07:57 pm  .......lack of sleep the cause? More like Exposing his pencil when wet! LOL (sorry, couldn't help myself) |
Jade888 | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 08:00 pm  Quick send Josh some Duratuss HD Elixir...expensive but works real good. |
Katie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:53 pm  Is that a OTC medication? |
Ryn | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:03 pm  ok..... guys...... get back to real life..... josh will be fine..... 4 days left..... |
Avalonsparks | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:38 pm  Josh will be fine.  |
Ricmunoz | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 11:10 pm  He might just have Post-Nasal Drip. I used to get coughs that would last for weeks and weeks but were never painful or phlegmy. I finally asked my doctor. He checked my throat, found nothing, and said it was most likely P-ND. (I had only heard the term; I had no idea what it involved.) He explained that when the nasal passages are drained of mucus, some of the mucus collects (and dries up) in the throat region. This "dry" collection then causes a strong "tickle" effect and the only thing a person can do for relief is to cough. I'm not saying this is what Josh is dealing with; I'm only saying it's a possibility. P-NP eventually clears up. |
Kearie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 11:39 pm  Katie OTC = over the counter nonprescription meds. |
Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 12:06 am  Kearie, I was trying to find out if that Duratuss HD Elixir was or not. I get nasty coughs sometimes and I need something good but I can't afford to see a doctor to get it. |
Grag | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 12:17 am  Hmmm. I've developed Severe Immunity Disorder Disease and died from it. Usually a coughing fit is the first symptom. I wonder if that's my secret?
|
Snogrl | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 01:23 am  Why doesn't he ask to see a doctor. For three months they've all talked about how cool it would be to be there the last week. Especially if he wins, he is not going to want to deal with being sick. I've had bronchitis and pneumonia in the last 2 years and his cough sounds familiar. |
Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 01:26 am  He keeps asking for Hall's cough drops and he never gets it. Just like with the groceries, he gets a substitution. |
Ryn | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:04 am  i still can't believe you guys are talking about his cough - lol |
Mlady | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:06 am  *cough cough* Pass the Hall's please |
Smashedkat | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:11 am  Maybe he has developed an allergy to the other houseguests. |
