Alright people, seems as if LOTS of people here have come down with all kinds of ewwie sicknesses since we've returned from RenDezvous. If you've gotten sick or are getting there, post it here...
Me and GreenMan have been running fevers and having extremely sore throats. Feels like we're swallowing razorblades....
Did we get Mono from RenDezvous???
Same symptoms but the fever's been gone for about a week... the throat though... OUCH!
Sore throat yep
Fever yep
Coughing also and just generally feel yucky
Sore throat and overall inablility to get out of bed this morning. I didn't know if it was something around Little Rock or what. Must've been bad beer!! :o >:(
Okay - this is weird. I'd been fighting to keep from succumbing to the symptoms - and know of one other who's been having the same symptoms. Then again, there was a LOT of "cross-pollenation" going on all weekend... ;)
Well, there was an outbreak of Mono on Fort Knox the week leading up to Rendevoux, but I don't recall "cross-pollinating" anybody ;D.
Raises hand...felt GREAT this past Saturday, woke up Sunday to a throat that feels constricted like it's tightening from the inside.
Edited to add: heartburn, terrible terrible heartburn which started Monday when I started the new job and seems to disappear when I leave the office.
I don't mean to sound alarmist, but......
RENDEZVOUS GAVE US ALL THE EWWIE EWWIE SICKNESS!!!!!!
Wait a minute there Molden, was it YOU that got us all sick?? Are you the carrier??Cause the way I figure, if you didn't directly kiss Molden, then I'm almost 100% positive that you kissed someone ELSE that kissed him LOL. Just bustin yer chops buddy, you know I lurves you, ya fraggin pyrate!
Oddly, the first Ette Invasion Athena, Escarlata and myself all came down with horrendous sore throats that lasted three weeks. The doctor diagnosed a virus.
A few discreet phone calls to see who else got sick...we never did trace the carrier!
Muffin has had a sore throat sence then, but I seem to fine thou......
Still healthy! ;D

I think it has something to do with the rum Jack....... :o ;D
Nah! Ya'll weren't WORKIN' hard enough!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Blue - My EGO lurves yer rationale! :D
You'd THINK that the alcohol would at least kill some of the germs. Still got a sore throat....I bet it is a virus.
Lots of fluids everybody! I know it hurts but we gotta do it.
I'm convinced Rum helps to cure some of what ails ya!
Yeah, well, you can't fault me for it LOL. Seems the only logical explanation to me :-*
Hey, not to say I didn't do my "faire" share of "cross-pollinating". But hey, at least nobody's got photo proof of it...
I'd like to submit for evidence the following photos...Ok, so I won't post them here. But trust me PYRATE, I've got it, and it's organized, and labeled, and in TRIPLICATE!
;)
yup I got the dreaded yuck... Looked like Strep throat.. :P Don't think I ran a fever tho??... was really only down for about a day... Beer cure.. works every time.... The little white patches on my tonsils are pretty much gone now and the throat is just red...
I still think its from the plane... petri dish with wings I say...
I don't know how any germs could survive all the alcohol in TN....
then again.... these are rennie germs we're talking about, and rennies are survivors.... :D
I agree with the plane-petri-dish and alcohol-killing-germs theory. Queen Bonnie got sick as well, so I think it was de plane! Anyone else who didn't fly and didn't get ill (like me)?
I'm thinking it's just withdrawal symptoms. I didn't get sick but I had a "faire fix" 5 days later ;D.
While I ahd no problems my wife stated feeling bad on Sunday (hay fever like symptoms). Even with all the cross pollinating I feel great!
Yep...I got the icky throat thing too...
Non-flyer here who has also gotten ill but a stomach flu. No throat or upper respiratory involvement.
I got the bug on the plane back a week ago Tuesday. Sore throat, cough icky sicky.
I still have it. Scotch helps! I think it was a hex! We were all having so much fun! Sorry to hear so many got the RENNDEFLU! LOL! Lets all get better!
ROFL...Rendezflu!! ;D
The Vile Rendezflu of 2008!!
A New word for the lexicon? Renndezflu! Your Spelling is better, Lucy!

LOL...it wasn't intentional...I was half dressed standing near a window trying to type too fast...rofl.
Alright, Faye and Blue! I want to know HOW, since I wasn't there, you two managed to pass this along to me via the chat last night?! I know the stomach problems aren't related, but I came down with one hell of a sore throat 'round noon today (along with general all-around ickyness), whereas I haven't had one o' those since my last bout with strep.
I blame YOU! XP
*chuckling* Don't let MadJack fool you, he had it Monday. However, he told me he cured it by drinking the Baba from the handfasting. Mayhaps, if you've not broken the seal on the little jewel, it's time.

Runs for the bottle.... you don't have to tell me twice... as you wish! ;)
That was actually a combination of pipe weed and allergies. But the Baba (for breakfast!) helped incredibly! ;)
What can I say, I'm positively INFECTIOUS!!! Even virtually!!!
I didn't get the Rendezflu myself. I did fly the week before but maybe it was something on the planes on Bluesboro Friday...
Well, as crappy as it was... I wouldn't have changed that weekend for all the Saki in China!
LOL Madjack's signature is hilarious...
Rendezflu??? that's great festmum!!!
Molden's little jewel did help.
Molden's little jewel??? Is that some sort of newfangled slang for something that I need to watch out for???

Sorry, can't take credit. Queen Bonnie coined the phrase earlier.

Popped in me head after reading Escarlata's post...about Molden's Loki.
My sinuses were bugging me and my eyes were irritated from the dust, but this wasn't a bad year. In the past I've had heat exhaustion, swollen feet and ankles, and that horrid never-ending sore throat. Must be something in the Tennessee air because that's the only faire where I always seem to suffer from some type of ailment.

LOL! "Molden's Baa-Baa - it's not just for breakfast...'twill cure wot ails ye too!" ;D
*"Doc, I'm just not feeling real swell"* *"Well ma'am go ahead and take this in strong, heavy, frequent doses and it oughta cure what ails ya."*
*"Doc, what is it?" *"It's called, Molden."*
*"Alright Doc, I'll give it a try."*
All of a sudden the song, 'Double Shot of my Baby's Love' went through my mind...
;)
OMG Wenchie, you can't do that to me while I'm eating warm donuts. I damned near choked on the warm glaze!!!
AND BY THE WAY, EWWWWWW!!!!!! I DON'T THINK I NEED OR WANT A DOUBLE SHOT OF ANYTHING!!!!
BTW guys, my throat is clearing up finally, so I'll be back to screaming form by Kentucky!
I'm calling WENCHMOUTH on Blue! ;D
*hangs head*
Awwww dangnubbit.....
Why is it that every thread I get involved in winds up heading this direction?
Must be a gift. :D
Nah... just blue's way of contributing to the fun.
I've finally broken down and got my favorite cure-all for all things sinus related (including that nasty sore throat). Tylenol Sinus Severe Congestion. It's the only thing that'll clear up my baaaaaaaad sinus problems. I'll be good to go for faire this weekend. Huzzah! ;D

ROFLMAO... That almost sums it up.... lol!!!!
OK, sorry so late ringing in on this, but I missed nearly a week's work after returning from RenDezvous due to a bad case of bronchitis. It started while I was up there... and as soon as I started noticing it, I started being more cautious about sharing cups, etc. so as not to spread it.
Falcone complained his ear hurt while we were there and I figured it was likely the altitude (only mountains we have here in FL are Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain, and Disney gets mad if we climb those...) so dismissed it, but had him checked when we got back.
He had an ear infection.
Yeah, I'd say we qualify for the sickie list.
Ugh, still have a sore throat and a nagging cough. Mayhaps the camping last weekend didn't help, but I finally got a throat swab done today and the doc said it's either strep or just a virus. I give a boo to each, because I can't fly when I'm sick.
Aww hon. Sorry you're sick and that I can't be there to take care of you. Lots of fluids and don't talk too much...just makes it worse. <3
