<p>Also, I have heard of several teens and adults (in Philly suburbs) having bad headaches lasting several days without a fever, which seem to be some kind of virus. I had it myself last week.</p>
<p>Momsdream; I hope you both feel better soon. We are okay but this refusing to wear a coat thing has me rattled.</p>
<p>S recovering from strep on top of mono. Offered to bring him home but he stayed to gut it out. Seems like he’s handled it…clinic surprisingly responsive.</p>
<p>I got the flu today. My brothers and sis have also been sick with the stomach virus and what not…it’s pretty bad around here.</p>
<p>D and I are still a little run-down, but feeling better - now son is sick (in bed now- Friday night - must be sick)</p>
<p>Oh my, momsdream, you have really had a siege up there. It amazes me how many posts on this topic have originated from Philly. So far my D at UPenn has been mercifully well. Not living in dorm may be making a difference. She takes immunosupressors for her chronic illness, so I worry about viruses and stuff, but thankfully she’s been okay. Sure hope your soon-to-be Penn-student son gets well soon! And that you and your D get your strength back!</p>
<p>In Ohio…my 12 year old has missed 8 days of school since Jan 1. (she usually misses 1 day a year). she has had rosiola (sp?)…a preschool disease…the flu…and severe stomach virus. 7 cases of whooping cough at a local preschool as well</p>
<p>Thanks momofthree.</p>
