The Never Ending Crud? Do You Have It?

It was September 5th of this year when I started to feel a tickle in my throat.  Next it was a sore throat, followed by runny nose.  A day later I had a full on crappy cold.  Usually colds for me last a week or 2 at the most.  Today it is October 24th, and I still have it.  Turns out, I'm not alone.

My folks both had the crud that lasted almost 2 months for them.  My wife is finally starting to feel better, but she had it for a good 6 weeks.  My co-host Cathy got sick too, and she's still just a phlegmy as I am.  It is unbelievable.  It also isn't allergies, because none of us have had seasonal allergies before.

How many other people have this crap?  And when will it be over?  From my estimate and observations it lasts about 6-8 weeks.  I'm finally starting to feel better, I just still have a sniffle and an occasional cough.
