Does anyone else have a post Coachella cold?

[meyouseek]

I'm sure it's my own fault for taking my immune system to the breaking point... but this cold is the suck!

Anybody else contract something on the polo fields?

I felt it coming on Sunday morning and completely ignored the symptoms and raged until dawn on Monday. And now it's Thursday and I'm still feeling like hammered shit.

You probably caught something from one of these folks:

i am sick too

[Courtney]

Lots of people are talking about their colds over in this thread.

[iheartjtt]

Yeah, I have a sore throat. It's pretty gross.

[GoodEarth]

I know I got the Chella cold

[cicibloom]

it was so dusty and hot, i could barely breathe, and i'm still having a hard time... and i had surprise nose bleeds all day on sunday...

but it was worth it.
hands down

[beckith]

I'm tempted to make an audio clip to PROVE how sickly I am. Totally worth it. I'm guessing this is going to be my new tradition.

[bvincali]

Yea I have the cold also. Felt great all weekend. Then came Monday. I drove back to LA now I'm sick as hell. Wow this Coachella bug is bad!!!

[KidChorus]

hah, i guess i wasnt the only one. my cousin got it too, started to get bad on tuesday.

*COUGH*

[DFrank]

First time in 7 years that ive actually gotten the flu from coachella. Getting too old.

[theGold]

I alwaye get it, its worse this year though even though i stayed in a house. Lungs ache, itchy nose, lightheadedness, general depression

[motionnn77]

No cold for me. But first time in four years after a Coachella that I felt tired and a bit depressed. Usually, I have this crazy energy going for the next month after a Coachella weekend. Could have been the weather.

[Mzyip]

definitely sick as well. my sister and i both have colds and sore throats and coughs

[gaypalmsprings]

I had a pre-coachella cold. So I'm all better now. Thanks for asking.

[philabuster]

And I thought I was the only one. Nasty respiratory infection that was coming on on the way to the car after Dre/Snoop.

[anonimouse]

its probably not just the dust this time. there is a cold and/or flu that are being passed around quite a bit in the socal area. i came to the show just as i was over the cold to find out some of my roomies were coming down with something else. im going weekend two, if i caught something im expecting it to start showing up right as the weekend starts. if that happens i dont know wtf im going to do with the heat

other than getting a few of you sick of course, sorry!

[streamline]

yes.

[lilee]

spent weeks pre-coachella being all ocd about taking my vitamins and steering clear of sick people only to wake up saturday morning at the festival with a cold. it was definitely not ideal, but i just shuttled to the grocery store to get some cold meds & enjoyed myself anyways.

[ENluv12]

YES, I am dying today!

[JebusLives]

Yep, me and the girlfriend both. Sore throats kicked in yesterday.

[PlayaDelWes]

My doctor suggests taking Umcka the entirety of cold season, but I usually just take it when I start feeling sick and it appears to help. This year, I started taking it a week leading up to Coachella, during Coachella, and until I ran out yesterday. I usually get some sort of post-Coachella bug, but this year I did not.


/That's my Umcka story, what's yours?

[PJandBompton]

my roommate and I have both been feeling like shit. caught the flu, and i STILL don't feel right...

[blueduck]

still have it

[summerkid]

my roommate and I have both been feeling like shit. caught the flu, and i STILL don't feel right...

I caught some sort of stomach bug, threw up all night monday and slept all day Tuesday. Lost nearly 10 lbs in the process.

[KickerConspiracy]

No throwing up but I'm crazy congested and feeling tired and sluggish. Ended up selling my Pulp ticket for yesterday's show at the Warfield. Today is better though. Seems like the worst is over.

[DFrank]

I almost feel worse than monday. Threw up a bit the other night and just feel horrible. I just want this to end so i can recollect the better memories of the weekend.

[PJandBompton]

yup, i woke up at 3am tuesday morning vomiting, did it again at 8am...still can't eat.

[anonimouse]

you people who were vomiting, where did you last eat? wouldnt be surprised if it was the same place
