I couldn't get up this morning really easily, so I missed a panel and saying goodbye to some new friends. Was late for the pre-meet for cosplay chess too; my throat feelsl ike it's on fire and I've nearly lost my voice completely. Anyone else feelin' the sickness?

TanisNikana · « **Reply #1 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:02:24 pm »

Nope, doing just fine; but I've done many conventions and get sick plenty on my own.

makichan · « **Reply #2 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:02:53 pm »

Yep. Someone must have spread a cold or something because one of my friends and I have it. Our symptoms are a sore throat thus far. Uuugh. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

At least it's an excuse to lay in bed and do nothing. I'm so exhausted. XD

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #3 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:05:15 pm »

Another weird thing; ever since late Saturday, I've been unable to feel either big toe. o.O Like their numb; and it can't be the shoes because I've had them off for hours.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #4 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:07:42 pm »

The battery in my right leg died. It's very stiff and paralysed right now, and difficult to move. I blame the stairs and the dealer's hall.

makichan · « **Reply #5 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:09:10 pm »

Yeah, I blame all of those crazy escalators lol.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #6 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:10:00 pm »

I've been getting full from small amounts of food.

This is worrisome. I can usually eat a lot.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #7 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:14:28 pm »

Late Saturday here too. xD I sound like a 40 year old chain smoker.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #8 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:24:14 pm »

I can't really speak at all now; when I do it comes out as a whisper and whispering is actually more strain to your voice then talking normally. But talking normally hurts. T.T

makichan · « **Reply #9 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:27:23 pm »

I'm dealing with a runny nose right now. Dang, this thing moves faaaast.
I didn't feel much of anything this morning. Although, I think with proper sleep and nutrition I should feel a lot better.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:31:25 pm »

okay, I've been wondering about this for a good long while; what in the seven hells is your avvie from, Maki?

makichan · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:34:23 pm »

Nodame Cantabile (otherwise known as my favorite series evaaar).
Both the anime and live action are worth watching. :>

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2009, 09:19:34 am »

I've been all bleh since I woke up, but mostly my muscles are sore, lol, con was so much exercise.

Blue Leader · « **Reply #13 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:19:07 am »

Thankfully I'm dealing with nothing more than an aching body. No cold as of yet... And hopefully I wont be getting one. XD

catboy-trades · « **Reply #14 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:52:00 am »

Sore throat, dizziness, nausea... all that ... yeah Con sickness...
I got it. Called into work.

Winfred · « **Reply #15 on:** September 08, 2009, 10:57:17 am »

Its hard to move my legs and arms xO! Stupid heavy daggers.
I also woke up this morning thinking my tail fell off again T_________________T

Dubaby · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2009, 11:58:43 am »

Thankfully I'm not sick now because I have to work A TON this week, but I did miss the Saturday night dance because of a sudden con-bug attack.

It just seemed like missing one dance was a better option than going and continuing to be sick the next day.

Daxe · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2009, 12:24:47 pm »

A lot of people seem to have gotten sick. Even Im feeling it. It could be because the nature of being at a con taxes your body so much... OR we all caught a virus in a closed in hotel and are going to turn into zombies!

makichan · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2009, 03:17:59 pm »

Maybe it was some sick person who went around hugging everyone T___T;
My head feels like someone's kicked it. Make it stop D:

I knew it!
I got it.

Sore throat and lots of sneezing and tissues. I started feeling it the last day of the con, sitting in lone for the closing ceremonies actually.
OMG SWINE FLU! jk jk.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2009, 04:16:06 pm »

I am dizzy but it is because I hit my head on the wall and left a mark... also I am in a full leg brace.... and I am feeling sick so yeah...

MiriaRose · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2009, 04:27:08 pm »

My throat is froggy and my nose is runny. D:

Teuvan · « **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2009, 05:18:24 pm »

I'm a lil exhausted, but nothing too bad. It was actually nice to get home after the con and cook a decent meal for myself and relax. I miss having a bunch of random girls to flirt with, though...

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #25 on:** September 08, 2009, 05:28:04 pm »

This isn't actually related to con sickness but it sure as hell aggrevated it; I've had a bad headache since early monday, and when I got home my brother and I got in a fight where he proceeded to throw me into the wall again and knee me in the chin. What was once a blasted con headache exploded into seeing stars. xD

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #26 on:** September 08, 2009, 06:25:32 pm »

I completely lost my voice and my throat is really sore.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #27 on:** September 08, 2009, 06:27:40 pm »

Mine's almost gone. xD Probably will be by tomorrow.

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #28 on:** September 08, 2009, 06:28:43 pm »

I went home from work today because no one could hear me.

EDIT:
I was told my a friend that there was two confirmed cases of Swine Flu at PAX. They both went to K-Con.

superjaz · « **Reply #29 on:** September 08, 2009, 08:17:44 pm »

my legs hurt and my throat is sore and i have little voice

other then that peachy keen!

sadly have a 10 day at work today

makichan · « **Reply #30 on:** September 08, 2009, 09:45:21 pm »

A good majority of my friends have confirmed that they're sick. I've never seen con sickness get so bad, especially in such a short amount of time. I started feeling it as soon as I left and I remember one of my friends feeling it the morning of the last day. O__o

*Gasp* My friend went to PAX and he's been home with a fever of 101 the past two days.... I seriously doubt it's swine flu but still, apparantly con sickness struck pretty bad there too.

Meganekko · « **Reply #33 on:** September 10, 2009, 03:35:02 pm »

I was worried I was going to get it after being stuck on the first train back to lloyd with some very unwell people...
but luckily I am doing good!

I had a bit of a sore throat but I think that was from too much squeeee than actual ill.

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #34 on:** September 10, 2009, 06:37:30 pm »

Normally we (many of us staffers) refer to this as "conplague" this year we have deemed it Pokepox.....lol

The_Geek · « **Reply #35 on:** September 10, 2009, 07:51:18 pm »

Minorly.

NekoAkiko · « **Reply #36 on:** September 10, 2009, 07:57:11 pm »

WHOO! I'm immune to conplague/pokepox/con sickness.

I don't seem to get it. Though... my body has been all "You WILL get sick!" ever since June... so I'm just waiting for it to hit. My guess is next weekend... xD Since I usually get sick right after the start of the school year (even though I'm no longer in school)

DecemberWinds · « **Reply #37 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:14:22 pm »

Ugh... I was terribly sick for a long while on Sunday. v.v My stomach was very sour... and I doubt it was the coffee I drank that morning, because it lasted until around noon. .-.

That's why some people may have seen a rather uncomfortable/sick looking Naoto sitting around a lot. ><;
Dunno if it was the "pokepox" (XD ), since it hit a while after I got to the con that morning and went away so fast, but... =/

Meganekko · « **Reply #38 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:39:12 pm »

Now I'm just really sick with "excited for next year"...

That and I had a strange dream about the Dr. Horrible cosplayer pushing me up a snowy hill near my house and there was gas station food

I would totaly make you this thai chicken soup you make the base by boiling chicken and shrimp shells and a few limes all day , then strain it and add the raw shrimp that are gently cooked in the broth,
but i have a rule that i dont cook for other people when i am sick

Namazzi · « **Reply #42 on:** September 12, 2009, 12:42:21 am »

Nope. I'm doing good.
I was sick for a week, and had just gotten over it the day before con. So, I'm really happy I didn't get it.
