jenny wren Posted March 25, 2013 #476 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Jan ...hope you're soon back to normality! I've had same sort of thing which I reckon came via the air conditioning and it took ages to get rid of, and it was difficult to find anything to soothe it, I found standing in a steamy shower was the best. Nowadays I take a saline nasal spray with me and squirt up my nose every night and also turn the air con to the middle of the dial and not hot or cold....this seems to have done the trick and have been cough free for a couple of years now!!:) We also sit in the back row of any bus/coach so there's no-one behind coughing and spluttering over us !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted March 25, 2013 Author #477 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Jan, glad you are on the mend, remember back about Christmas time I had a hacking cough, that lasted over 8 weeks :eek: went to the docs and it has been dubbed the 100 day cough in this area.

jenny wren Posted March 25, 2013 #479 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hope it all goes well then RR and that the weather is OK for you!:) My son and his family are moving from Hampshire to Devon over the weekend so John and I are driving 200 miles roundtrip to get the keys for them on Thursday and then the same again on Sunday to be there when they arrive with the lorry load !! Hope the weather is getting a bit warmer by then! :) Then, providing all is well with our sale, we will be moving around 1st May...but just across the road !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnowl1950 Posted March 25, 2013 #480 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi all, seems we'll be having a heatwave in April...that is if you can believe the papers ;) (read it today) Ekco glad you're improving now :) Do you think you will be going on Majesty sometime again in the future?

ekco Posted March 25, 2013 #481 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks everyone.:) 100 day cough is probably right as we're nowhere near over it. It's definitely not an air-con cough, which I've had in the past, but a nasty virus which backs off for a few hours then launches another attack. The worst part is the coughing spasms which you can't stop once they start. Exhausting! I'll shut up about it now as I'm so bored with it. I won't be going on the Majesty in the near future, that's for sure. There was a warning I should have taken notice of on a YouTube video done by a lady a few weeks before we went, she mentioned the coughing and recommended taking cough medicine. I wish I had.:eek: Jan:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekco Posted March 26, 2013 #485 Share Posted March 26, 2013 We did Christmas week on Majesty I was ill on return ended up off work for a month and in hospital on a drip for a week..... coughing..... virus.... nightmare ! Have to say the holiday was brilliant though You have my sympathies, I can well believe you ended up in hospital and I have fears for some of the very elderly that were on that ship. My hubby got it when we got back but I started on the Tuesday night. We were committed to a trip on Gomera and I sat on the bus at the back with a tissue clamped to my face the whole time as I didn't want to spread it. I've never been in bed so much in the last few weeks and it's still getting me badly if I go out in the cold. People need to know about this, funnily enough we ventured out to the afternoon film yesterday for a change of scenery and after sitting there for a while with a couple of hundred, mainly older people, I suddenly realized that not one of them had 'the cough'. That narrows it down a bit. Have a nice holiday MChap.:):) Jan:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Rouser Posted March 27, 2013 Author #498 Share Posted March 27, 2013 On a more sadder note, the good ship is not sailing as planned this week :eek: Somewhere the old girl took on some dodgy fuel and the whole week has been disrupted, at this moment in time she is in Barcelona where I believe it should have been in Ajaccio.
