This is hard. :(

Pregnancy wise, the babies are doing well, so that's great.  But I'm not, and haven't been.  I've had horrible m/s, and am still taking a zofran a day and occasionally vomiting.  But that's not what's bothering me.  What the issue is now, is that I've had some sort of virus for 4 weeks now.  I can't beat it.  The 1st week I was getting low grade fevers and ended up in L&D b/c of it.  They tested me for strep (no strep) and the fevers went away.  They thought virus.  Last Friday, I was still going through 3 boxes of tissues a day and started hacking up green.  Lungs sounded good but they put me on a z-pack antibiotic.  Finished antibiotic yesterday and I'm still coughing green, have a rattling cough (I don't cough often, but when I do it rattles), going through 1/2 box tissues a day, and I haven't been able to hear out of my left ear for a week.  I've never been on so much meds in my life (sudafed, z-pack, benadryl, etc, all per doctors orders) and I just can't get completely better.  I can't hear or smell!  Going to call the nurse now to tell her what's going on.  Thanks for listening.

Ugg I'm sorry.  Being pregnant with twins is hard, even if everything else feels good. We have all had some sort of 6 week runny nose, cough, congestion thing in our house.  Maybe there is a mutant cold bug out there

Thanks.  I never, ever get sick so this is just insane.  I can't wait to feel better again.

Aww boo to being sick! I had a horrible virus at the beginning of my pregnancy (actually took the pregnancy test @ urgent care.....explained why I had been so exhausted) so I know how awful it is being sick and preggers, but can't imagine the m/s on top of it, and being further along! Hang in there.....hope you feel better soon.

I'm so sorry.  Being sick when you are pregnant is the worst.  I hope you start to feel better very soon!

That sounds miserable. My DH gets sick like that a couple of times a year, sometimes the z-pack isn't enough to kick it, he's had to do multiple rounds before. I'm sorry you're feeling so awful.

My kids' pediatrician recently told me that hacking up green stuff isn't really as bad as people think it is, and that (while unpleasant) it isn't a sign of infection.

A humidifier might help of you haven't tried that already. If you don't already own one it will be something you can use for the babies once they arrive.

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks everyone.  Not any better yet, but trying to stay positive.
